Teen Gothic

So I'm putting together a ritual for an upcoming Halloween music festival. I am trying to come up with a piece of danceable music ~15 min long for a circle dance.

Trying to find something that will match our theme which is gothic/vampire inspired. Have been mainly inspired so far by gothic fusion belly dance material but I am open to other suggestions. Please feel free to share some inspo!

Thanks everyone

Hey there everyone!

I am just posting to connect with goths living in the NYC area that would like to hang out someday or just gather friends maybe to go to a gothic club.

I'm thinking about hosting a Goth Night in my town. I'm thinking I'll do it in a public park to start out. Does anyone here have experience with this kind of thing?

mine was Lucretia My Reflection, and I know this song might be overplayed and probably “been there done that” but for real this song is fuckin’ amazing especially for someone new to the music. the Sisters did a good job making sure I’m in it for the long haul.

what was yours?

[decided to post this on here too]

For starters, I’ve dealt with stares and name-calling for the majority of my life due to the way I dress and present myself. I’ve had photos taken of me with nasty captions and people asking me to show them my wrist, and for the most part I’m use to it, but lately it’s seem to have gotten worse with people yelling it out loud in public for everyone to hear.

I was at the state fair and had a group of guys run up to me in line asking me if I made porn, telling me they liked my costume (“oh wait.. thats just how you look”) and laughing obnoxiously loud while people just looked away. It was really uncomfortable and anytime I ran into them again they’d just KEEP going. That same week me and my friends were harassed and followed in public again, getting called the “wrist cutters” “suicide squad” “hookers” followed by them asking for our socials over and over again.

So for those who also deal with this or have had similar experiences, how do you deal with it? Any advice is much appreciated.
