Teen Gothic

i (f20) have only recently started listening to goth music and becoming interested in the fashion… is it too late for me to be a baby bat? I study in a fairly small city with next to no alternative subculture, so I don't really have any irl spaces to turn to about this stuff

I've only seen a few details about them here and there; they released a single called 'Egypt' and had a track called 'Every Good Man' on the New Alternatives Five comp. Any details (or music!) would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Post links to your favorite Goth events here! /u/DaveAzoicer is the only Goth event in Sweden (right now) Klubb Död! What's yours?

Prefacing this by saying I'm in Europe so European websites would be nice, but this can also be a reference post for everyone.

I'm looking for good quality merch (I'd like to avoid eBay, drop shipping and the likes) with beautiful prints. I'd prefer to buy it second hand but the price of, for exemple, Depeche Mode shirts on vinted is not something I'm willing to pay (some sellers ask for 300-500€ a shirt).

Some artists I'm looking for would be Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Lycia (the list is long, of course) as well as more modern stuff like Hante or Tempers.

I would also love it if you guys had links to independent artists or shops that make goth and goth adjacent merch. Or vintage shops that specialize in this kind of merch.

Thanks to everyone that will take the time to answer!
