Teen Gothic

Before I started listening to and became thoroughly familiar with Goth, I had zero clue what it sounded like and thought maybe it was either really loud and clangy almost similar to metal, or that it was still loud but quasi dancey like Industrial, and people danced to it at “dark raves” or underground nightclubs and such. And then I discovered it and I thought wow this is hella good music, no matter what subgenre it is. And that’s the other thing I like about goth, is that there’s quite the number of subgenres and they can sound very different from one another and yet we can still identify that minor chord or that distinct tone of dread that makes them all similar to each other. What about you guys? Did you already have an idea what goth music was like before you got to listen to it?

It was a confusing time for me. I kept having doubts about my career, about my creative aspirations, about my identity.

Show us what you've DIY (Do It Yourself) lately! Be it clothes, painting, maybe a Andrew Eldritch lookalike?

I want to become more connected with an irl community, but it can be a bit hard to find anything in this part of the country sometimes.. Any help from someone with experience would be appreciated!

I’m in berlin for a week and a half and curious if anyone has any favorite spots with goth-vibes here! I’ve seen posts about their nightlife before but more looking for cool spooky/underground museums/shops/areas + parks to wander around etc. So far I’m loving their architecture and found a really pretty graveyard and church, and there’s a few goth shops and record stores I want to check out, but would love more recs!
