Teen Gothic

These pics are from when I attended a Hex Cassette concert with my friend back in February. I don't get the opportunity to dress up this much very often so I thought I'd share! The Fear Cult top is handpainted by me 🙂

I don’t mean which city has the most goths, I’m just wondering which city’s ambience, culture and vibe is most suitable for a goth. I’m not even talking specifically about the music scene itself, or even gothic architecture, but rather trying to find which city on earth would be most suitable for the goth mindset and emotional landscape.

My personal thoughts are London, not just for the weather but also the size and diversity of it; it’s a place where you can dress however without feeling too judged. Maybe NYC’s the same but I haven’t been there. Of course the UK has the music history too: Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Siouxsie and The Banshees, etc. So there’s that.

But I wanted to hear other people’s thoughts – what do you think??

I've heard many, MANY people say that they aren't good as a live act. My individual ticket (because I'm the only irl goth I know) is somewhere between $ 200-250 USD after taxes and fees. I have NO problems dropping that kind of money for a band that makes the experience worth it. So I have to ask…. would you guys go?
