Teen Gothic

Off out to our local 80s goth and alt night for the first time in months! There's a Sisters of Mercy tribute act playing in the same city so I'm expecting numbers to be down. I'm on my own which makes me feel a bit more self-conscious in a small crowd but it'll be good to hear some decent music. I'm really old so I want to say to young people in this sub, don't feel bad about feeling self-conscious as it can even affect otherwise confident older people too.

I've been seeing a lot of overlap of works said to be Goth I often knew as other. Call it whatcha want depending where you stand, whatever. A great snot load of stuff I've always been into I'm discovering is considered Goth by the Goth community. Or Goth adjacent or of Goth in some way. I've always seen myself as somewhat Goth. More I explore the music from a Goth angle and, again, been listing to lots of it for decades now, I belong. Quiet cool. Looking for Goth compilations. Some I've already got. Life Less Lived – great tittle there!

La Danse Macabre 19 is out on Bandcamp, featuring a varied mix of goth rock, darkwave, post-punk and other styles. As usual, the compilation stands out thanks to above-average gender parity, a deliberate focus on newcomers and high-quality underground bands and an international lineup that sets it apart from similar compilations. Acts from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Australia, Germany, USA, Georgia, Hungary, Denmark, Canada and Italy are featured.

Featuring:
Izzy and the Black Trees, Mystigma, Reptyle, Voyna, The Occasion, Black Rain, Black Rose Moves, Truly Lost, The Glass House Museum, SU, Don't, Ceremony Shadows, Plastik Noir, HalfCutLemon and many more.

Calling all goths from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Do u have a scene at your city? What are ur local bands? Any recommendations?

This is a contender for my favorite album of all time, the synergy between Nik Fiend and Mrs. Fiend has never been stronger. Now I’m Feeling Zombified is the song that first got me hooked on this band and it doesn’t even crack my top 4 on this thing. Curse crawls, vibrates, and blasts you with heavy distortion and interesting electronic sounds, with some noteworthy sampling from the movie Predator. The 4 part opener Katch 22 will take you on a trip that’ll leave your toes curled and your hair reaching for the sky.

Extras: Dust Jacket with song lyrics and art by Nik Fiend (cover art also by Nik Fiend)

My top tracks:

-Katch 22

-Eat! Eat! Eat! (An Eye For An Eye)

-I Think I

Honorable mention:

-Burger Bar Baby

I like to dress boldy and full masc.

As of right now my fits are pseduo goth.

I mostly wear worn out metal band tees that I work in (manual labor), skull rings, spider rings, black crossess, a pendant that says memento mori, a celtic knot bracelet with black beads, a worn to death skull bracelet, worn to death spike bracelet, black jeans or dark blue, and I really like jean jackets.

I feel like I am just scratching the surface here.

Pls ignore spelling and grammar errors, I am blind as a bat (pun intended)
