Teen Gothic

I haven’t been in the subculture for the longest time although I grew up with parts of it due to my mom being involved. When I got into online communities I used to be really easily annoyed at people categorizing things as goth that aren’t the music. Someone told me trap rap was goth and since I was also probably just a stupid kid I had to think about that for months. I got into online arguments, and all that kind of stuff.

I haven’t thought about it for a while but recently I’ve realized I stopped caring about things being mislabeled, me being insulted based of my music taste and appearance, the stereotypes (the goth girl thing still annoys me thought, if you know what I mean). I just feel like I kinda got more chill after being involved for a while. Does anyone relate?

One thing I do think is that no matter how many rap songs get labeled as goth, we always have the scene and all of those things like the goth e girls are just online and not really actually affecting me/us. Although I do live in a specific part of Germany where there’s about 0,1 e girls lol, so maybe that changes things.

I laugh about a lot of things I used to get mad over and don’t start arguments anymore. Sometimes I correct people in a friendly way if it’s appropriate but that’s it.

If you find yourself in or close to Vienna this weekend, there'll be a loungy goth soirée this Saturday at the stylish vintage furniture pub Kaffeebar Quentin. Come as you are – we don't believe in pedantic nonsense like dresscodes. Musically, there'll be a blend of old classics from Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Zero Le Crêche and the like, but also modern gems from acts like Cult Strange or Egrets On Ergot. Summerland Haze is the summerly offshoot of the longstanding event series Scary Monsters & Super Creeps. Starts at 7:30.

My mom found this old tote bag she’s had because we couldn’t find any tote bags at stores so I just cut up velvet fabric to cover up the letters. I might add something at the bottom like maybe a bow but I’m not sure yet
