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.

Hellooooo I recently found this group TR/ST that I am absolutely obsessed with. It’s all I can listen to. Does anyone know them and have recommendations to anything with a similar sound? Thanks 🖤

I wanted to thank who answered my previous questions and concerns on two different posts I made in this subreddit today, I asked about music reccomendations and the emarginating deaf people problem, I received amazing answers and I think that from now on I will look more often into the wiki part of a subreddit, something I never do and that's a me problem. I wanted quick answers to something I feel really attached and the mods gave them to me I can say immediately. Thank you and continue with the great moderating job, I could never do that this fast, now I will dig into the wiki.

People are more than how goth they are. None of us goth and never not goth. We all have outside interests. Though some of those outside interests might be questionable.

I have one such interest. Many years ago I used to DJ at an event called Neko Nation. The gimmick was Catgirls/Catboys handing out sushi. I was a troll DJ who took the piss out of the crowd and played music based on internet culture and memes. But I DJed under the name DJ Jelly so people knew what to expect.

We are getting the band back together after 5-6 years since the last event. Except now I am DJ J3LLY (due to a DJ Jelly who plays hip hop in the states) and the new event is called…

…wait for it…

Egirl Nexus.

Yes, an event for egirls and eboys! I didn't name it, it wasn't my idea but here I am helping to organise and DJ at it. This time the gimmick is egirls/eboys handing out Doritos and Mountain Dew. It is almost a celebration of everything cringy about the internet. And I'm going to make 'em dance to my tune and laugh like a maniac while doing it!

Hell… I used to DJ for pastel and nu goths through various geeky events. And I sure wasn't playing goth music at the time…

I floated the idea of turning up as Elitist Joe, announcing "You egirls and eboys have been dodging goth music long enough!" and playing a set of goth music. Other event organisers think it is hilarious and we may try it at some point.

So… you mad? Me J3LLY.

I'd like to ask you – is Molchat Doma considered a goth band? I'm a babybat myself so I don't feel like I can fully judge yet. I'm still curious though.
