Teen Gothic

Hey there. I'm still sort of new here. I'm more of an 80's 90's goth, and I'm not all too familiar with the music that's been released in the last 10 years.

What are some recommendations? I've been craving new music and finally came around to looking for advice. Haha

So get this. I was DJing at a near sold out event on the weekend. I'm talking to the door lady and manager after my set. Big ups for the crowd filling the place in the first hour of opening. Venues love that stuff and it encourages them to have you back. This was a non-goth event, I wish this happened at goth ones as people tend to go do other things early then rock up whenever almost as an afterthought. Nice to work at an event where the crowd appreciates what you do and don't take you for granted.

So out of all the people who loved it there was one dissenter who had to immediately express their complaint to the door lady as he stumbled out the door to leave. From what I was told he arrived very drunk about 3 hours after opening and had pre-bought a ticket. He said he was very disappointed and was expecting something bigger.

At the same time the house was rocking at 96% capacity, the dancefloor is full and the vendors are making a killing in the front room. It went so well the venue owners are very keen to have us back.

Like… what was this guy expecting? A warehouse rave with 1000 people? It is a small-ish venue and we pretty much filled it (around 100-120 capacity). Our last event was at a venue of a similar size. We aren't inflating expectations and satisfaction can never be guaranteed.

Plus it was my daughter's first night out since she turned 18. She loved it. She also had a hand in my song choices.
