Teen Gothic

This is bit of a long shot but I saw a while back (IIRC) Cold Cave share a story on Instagram of a fan's tattoo of their logo, which was next to a Drab Majesty one. I've been trying to hunt down this picture for ages because I loved the placement of the Drab one (eyes and fan) on the back of the arm above the elbow. I don't suppose that person is around on this subreddit or anyone knows the photo I mean?

Also, please share your goth band tatts! I'd love to see them 🙂

Last Sunday, I went to my first goth night ever. It took place at l'International, a bar in the 11th arrondissement in Paris. There was two bands playing, Varsovie and Vision Video.

I only knew like one Varsovie song before they got annouced as the guests of this event, so I listened to their albums, liked it and was really happy to see them, they're post-punk, they remind me of Joy Division but in French to give you an idea.

Actually, I came here mostly for Vision Video since I've been wanting to see them live for a while, it was the second time they came to Paris, the first time they did it was also in that bar but I sadly couldn't attend, so when I saw that they were coming again to Europe I was like "Fuck everything else, I'm going to see them whatever it takes this time". I was a bit sad that Emily wasn't there but Angelica, who filled in for her, was absolutely amazing.

Before the concerts started, Dusty took the time to talk with people in the bar, I was too shy to go talk to him and didn't want to bother him, but he noticed that I was wearing a Vision Video t-shirt and came talking to me. He was really nice, he complimented my makeup (several times by the way), we talked a little bit about Varsovie since he enjoyed them too, we also shook hands, Dusty was literally the kindest ever with everyone.

The shows were both really nice and everyone had a lot of fun dancing and singing along, Dusty interacted a lot with us about various topics during the show.

After the shows, both Varsovie and Vision Video were hanging out at the bar, I bought a patch and vinyl (that Dusty kindly signed) from Vision Video's merch table, we even took some pics together and he gladly said yes when I asked if I could hug him.

The bar itself was really nice I thought, the concerts took place in a room downstairs. I met really nice people here, there wasn't any problem with someone being a jerk, everyone was very chill.

I'm very happy with the results, it looks like I'll have a very flooded gottle vest. Only one that I messed up so far and will have to re-do is my Siouxsie one.

Can't help it, I'm completely addicted to this song and think people should check it out!

Corlyx has made some great songs and collabs, and Suzi Sabotage also makes some fantastic music. Seriously, check them both out, it's worth it~!

The other day I started wondering about where there are still goth clubs, how old they are, how often they're open, etc. Do you have a goth club in your town or know about a goth club somewhere? Tell me about it!

I’m 18+ but still under 21 so clubs are not an option. i’m just a college student in the area and I literally have never made any friends who have likes the same music or fashion as me. where do the cool ppl hang out omg. HELP. i’ve been to a few shows at rgrs in denton when they have like dark wave music but all the people are so old.
