Teen Gothic

Exactly as the title says! I’m someone who’s both goth and religious (Catholic) and I’m curious about other religious people’s experiences, both of being religious in goth spaces and being goth in religious spaces. I’ve always found being simultaneously religious and involved in subculture to be a really unique experience because there’s an expectation that the two are mutually exclusive and when you’re both that breaks a lot of stereotypes that both outsiders and many people within those groups hold. My experience is ultimately my own though and I’m incredibly curious as to what other goths from all different backgrounds and faiths think and feel. This could also be a good place to ask (respectful) questions and try to build a bit of mutual understanding between each other.

If you read this far, thank you for giving your time! Have a nice day 🙂

For me personally, Sisters of Mercy, and She Wants Revenge were both fantastic live. Forever wishing I got the chance to see Bauhaus !!!!!

I’m seeing lebanon hanover later this month and am super stoked for it. Anyone seen them here and can confirm they’re brilliant ?!

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

I was thinking it would be nice to have a playlist of instrumental tracks by goth artists for relaxation/working etc. there’s only 50 or so tracks but I hope some of you enjoy it, and I’m more than happy to add recs if anyone has any.

Also, there are some tracks with vocalizations and quiet whispering so it’s not purely instrumental, but it’s pretty close ha
