Teen Gothic

Hi, if this is against the rules or anything I apologize. I just wasn’t sure of where to post this.

Growing up, I’ve always wanted to dress in a goth way, and be able to show that I’m a part of the scene. Of course I’ve listened to the music, and I know that makes me goth. But I’ve always loved the fashion, and I’ve always wanted to wear it. I’ve never been able to for a couple of reasons that I won’t get into. :/

When I go to concerts, I feel really out of place. You see all these people with death hawks and wild makeup and whatnot, and it just feels a little saddening to see. I wish I had friends who enjoy the same music I do, and shared the same interests. Of course, there’s a huge goth scene in NYC, but I never grew up around anyone like me. I’m also not of age to go to most goth events yet, (like the goth nights in Saint Vitus and stuff.) I really just wish I knew someone else around my age in the scene, someone who would just get it. Sorry for the long post and please let me know if I worded this wrong or anything, thank you !!

Yes I know asking if anything is goth is a bad way to pose a question, but go along with me. My tradgoth friend has been the authority on my wardrobe for the past few months or so, and I recently developed a fascination with comedy and tragedy mask imagery. She claims that the motif isn't goth "because they're gross"… which I don't get. So, are tragedy and comedy masks goth imagery?

Yesterday I released my second album 'Wherever We End Up' including 3 new songs. This is one of them.

Everything is also available on Bandcamp, Spotify and many more sites.
