Teen Gothic

It's a little early but it seems people want to jump in fast this week so here it is. There is a throwaway account post that was caught by the filter (I am half tempted to quote it in here, certainly the right place for it) and I see a regular poster is keen so let's do this. No frills, just fumes.

Who would you interpret to be the face of the goth subculture? A bit of a big question but I’m interested in hearing other goths opinions 🙂 I’m gonna be exploring the goth movement for my Fine Art final piece, most likely going to be doing a mix of collage and charcoal portraiture so if you happen to have any other ideas to include that’d be cool

Most info in pictures A-side is mostly gothic rock, post-punk and new wave, which I've created a playlist for, and I've also uploaded a song from the vinyl not on YouTube.

"out"-side is mostly punk, although the 2nd band picture is the 6th song on "out"side while having a fairly gothic look

There are a lot of posts of tracks from their fantastic (and also my favorite) album “Serpentine Gallery” so I wanted to post something I liked from one of their other albums “The Three Calamities”. Good stuff!

Naked Birthday Lyrics:

I know it hurts, what you believe: That everything is just as seems

The walls are cracked, the road is long And I can't tell if their will is that strong

To force a change in the light to relieve you of strife To force a change in the heart as it all comes crashing down

You never will see it You never will know You never will feel it But where did you go?

I see the fear inside their eyes As they are falling, who will confide? The ropes are broke, there's no net And we are waiting for what's coming next

Will they land on their feet, will they simply give in To the laws of the land, as it all comes crashing down?

You never will see it You never will know You never will feel it But where did you go?

Open up your eyes Open up your eyes Open up your eyes Open up your eyes

You know you'll always be drifting You know you'll never be found A servant, so empty, you'll never make a sound, and You never will see it You never will know You never will feel it But where did you go?
