Teen Gothic

I've seen posts asking for goth podcasts, but the answers I've found so far are just variety type spooky topics, and not specifically dedicated to the history of the goth / adj subculture.

I'm looking for something comprehensive and linear that goes chronologically through the time line from proto genre, to batcave, to today. Does a podcast like this exist?

I listen to traditional 80s goth rock and deathrock and struggling to find anyone else in the skating community who does as well. I only met one elder goth. Mostly all skaters just listen to rap, indie, or midwest hardcore emo. Some of my favorite bands right now include – Sisters of Mercy, Screams for Tina, The House of Usher, Kommunity FK, Passionate Hartless, Ravencathus (all goth or deathrock). I am also a 24 yr old woman so makes me feel even more alone lol. Just curious if there is anyone else out there! 🖤

Post links to your favorite Goth events here! /u/DaveAzoicer is the only Goth event in Sweden (right now) Klubb Död! What's yours?

So yeah, brown goths decided to celebrate this day to support and celebrate our presence in goth community and to let people know we belong in the subculture 🙂 Goth subculture has always taken inspiration in aesthetics from desi, brown and Arab cultures, still brown people barely get any representation and often have to deal with r@cism and hate for following certain religions within goth community. So feel Free to support your favourite Brown, Desi, Arab and Middle eastern Goth artists and bands today<3

Check out these brown goth bands to celebrate Brown goth rep day~

I think that a lot of people truly downplay the impact of racism in the goth scene.

It's definitely there. If it's not evident by the fact that a lot of non-white people come into our subreddit and post questions like "is goth for white people only?" or "can I go to a goth event if I'm not white?", then I don't understand how much clearer I can make it for you.

Perhaps it's never even crossed your mind if you're a white person in the scene because it's just not something that you've ever had to consider.

As a POC goth myself, I've experienced some racism from the online community– after a few of my Instagram posts gained some traction, I received a comment from an individual stating "White people thing only, stop embarrassing yourself" in reference to the clothes and makeup that I was wearing. He then proceeded to call me a "dirty filthy black".

Not long before this, I stumbled on a comment about the goth subculture that stated "Maybe white people are so gatekeepy about the goth term because they have no ethnic culture". Time and time again, I've encountered plenty of people who either believe that goth is only for white people, forget that black people can also be goths, or legitimately ignore and exclude them altogether.

And can you blame them when a majority of our "goth icons" are pretty much all white? When you can listen to a popular goth song and hear a white man say the n-word? I mean, sure, you can talk about this idea that goth is supposed to be controversial, but I don't think that the point of "controversy" and "satire" are supposed to be about punching down. You're supposed to say "screw the man", not join the man in the same exact oppressive behavior.

If we want to encourage more POC to join this scene and we want them to stop asking questions about whether goth is race-related, maybe we should make more of an effort to make it blatantly obvious that POC are welcome and racists are actively shunned.
