I do not condone arson

What happened this week that made you happy?

Maybe you found a great new album or just an album you hadn't heard about before? Maybe you found a new cuddly kitten that now is a part of your family?

Share it with us!

Hey people, I'm going to Prague in a few weeks. I wanted to know if there are any goth clubs/bars or goth events in general? Also if you know a good record store or any place you could recommend? Thank you in advance 🙂

This is just something I've noticed about the goth community on Instagram is the amount of hate hurled at people (mainly girls) who can't dress goth all the time/don't have an entirely black closet for being "fakers." Lots of comments will say something about how they're just looking for attention or not really goth because they don't wear trad makeup 24/7 or have a corporate job requiring them to dress more "normal" by societal standards. I just don't understand it? I feel like every goth must know that dealing with constant judgement and job constraints is difficult. Plus it's a music based subculture? It's mainly men I've noticed with this behavior. Idk it's just discouraging as someone new to the subculture (been in it about a year) because I have a very limited wardrobe due to trying to not spend too much money (I'm a broke college student) and avoid fast fashion while ALSO having a very strict religious family.

Are they any good on stage? I'm hoping they will be good. I like some of their songs although, they're not my most favorite goth band but decent enough. Hopefully, I can met a couple of friends too. I don't have much friends :/

Anyone got experience seeing them live? Is it a good time? Was it worth it?

i'm 19 and interested in the goth subculture, but i don't know if there's anything local that i can check out. everything i find on the topic is either a bar, club, or something from the 80s and 90s. any help?

As the title says i’d really appreciate some suggestions about songs with the harmonic minor sound or really anything that sounds like Flood I by Sisters of mercy, Paradise Place & This unrest by Siouxsie&The Banshees, and Medusa by Clan of Xymox, or even Helpless Helpless by Camouflage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and i’d even love to hear any other suggestions of songs that are just cool in general!
