Teen Gothic

I asked you back in June, to name a few of your favorite releases to grace our darkened worlds. Now that the year is coming to an end, which are your favorite releases so far (Full Length, EPs, and/or Singles) released this year?

Ive always been huge on the sisters of mercy tbh or london after midnight…

Hello wonderful goths of reddit 🙂

I've made a survey for research for my university dissertation about the relationship between the LGBTQIA+ community and alternative music subcultures. As part of that, I am also discussing ideas around safe space and whether or not safe space is a good thing. Goth is a very prevalent and important subculture, but I don't know much about it's relationship with the LGBTQIA+ community, so I'd really love to hear your thoughts! If you could spare 5 minutes to fill out my survey I'd really appreciate it 🙂

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

A list would be great. I know Nick Cave recently performed in Australia.

just curious why so many people post here asking about goth culture stuff, almost like they're afraid….

i'm not really talking about when people ask about the music per-se…. but rather mostly about interacting/socializing with other goths/how to act at goth events…..

it's almost like people have this stereotype in their heads and pre-conceived notions that people who listen to goth are all alike and need to act a certain way around other goths.

so many people are insecure about being goth or being around other goths and are overly sensitive and intimidated about goth stuff.

i sort of see this in other music genre cultures, like punks who want to know how to act at a punk show or something like that. this is a little more understandable, cause people don't want to end up with a black eye.

but i can't figure it out about goth.

why do people feel the need to be so cautious about wanting to join goth communities or go to goth shows or club night or feel that they need some sort of validation from everyone to be apart of the community?

personally i don't give a flying fuck about what others think… ESPECIALLY about listening to goth music…. and certainly about wanting to partake in events with other goths.

what is it about the culture that makes you so insecure?

it's really easy:

1. have interest in goth music
2. show up to goth event
3. meet other goths

​

that's it…. thats all you need to do…

all this fashion, attitude, persona stuff….intimidation bs…… is just……… garbage….

I want to create a new playlist, an example would be Return To Khaf'ji (22 monthly listeners). Can you give me more bands?

Thank you!
