Teen Gothic

Having trouble finding a local goth scene to interract with, does anyone know any goth clubs or anything like that in RI or MA

Inkubus Sukkubus was one of the few goth bands I could actually get a hold of back in the day when I first got into goth (I didn't have a mentor and this was the 90s). So they have a special place in my heart. But I'd love some suggestions for more goth music with a pagan vibe. I started looking around myself but uh… that quickly became frustrating.

Thanks!

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

So I live in a small collage town and as far as I've seen there is zero goth scene or events going on. The closest thing I've gotten is a pop-punk/emo nightthst a local bar does every few months. The attire is set to "goth" but obviously its not an actual goth night. I've seen and spoken to a few other goths around town who have also expressed a want for a goth night where we can have actual goth music.

How would I go about organizing something like this? I could DJ, I have a playlist set out but it's everything else I'm lost on. Any advice?

Hello,

I was tired of the weak sound of some 80's Post-Punk/Darkwave/Goth/Alternative/EBM/Industrial albums and did some home-remastering of them. They basically have one thing in common: more bass, more clarity, and a widening of the stereo field.

I worked with what I had so MP3s and FLACs are the original sources, no ripped stems for these (I may try that later). I think the results are still quite satisfying. I thought of sharing them with other freaks that may enjoy this.

Those remasters are available on Soulseek, in 96,000 HZ 24bit FLAC format, under user "Von Cracker":

Expect other albums by the same artists listed above, and other artist additions, as weeks go by; other genres (Hardcore, Punk, Metal) will soon follow. I don't make any money out of this and if bands-labels aren't happy, I'll be glad to take their album out. I'm only doing this because I truly love listening to these albums and they deserve a bit more standing in a mix.

Enjoy listening.

Have you ever heard of a "rat king"? If not, go goggle it. I can wait. Though I must warn you it is pretty disgusting.

…

You're back? Finished throwing up yet? You haven't? Ok, looks like I have to wait some more.

…

Got it all out of your system? Yes? Good. A rat king seems to be a pretty angry ball of putrid fury. But I think we can do one better.

Imagine the same thing except let's replace the rats…

…with bats.

Behold the dreaded bat king! How was it created? No one knows. Those bats are out of their element. They want to fly, not roll around as some massive ball of confusion and anger. A leathery mass of screeching chittering teeth. I bet that is even more pissed off than the rats could ever be.

Unleash your inner bat king.
