Teen Gothic

It's like I found my way back to my long lost home, since I was a kid I always listened to Rock en Español and classic rock. Ever since I moved to the U.S. particularly L.A. there was only one station (Superestrella 107.1) that played Rock en Español and other hispanic music, I lost track when it was taken down and throughout high school I only listened to whatever it was mainstream thinking that what I used to listen was long gone.

Until my friend's girlfriend recommended me some shows that played that music.

Then I went to Gothicumbia on New Year's Eve and instantly felt like I came back home, they literally played all the songs I liked and had a blast, first time I've ever been in a moshpit and a happy accident occurred when I bumped into a girl and danced with her for a minute. People were chill, friendly, and very lively.

I just loved it.

I pretty much only wear band shirts and I’m surprised by how much people have complimented me on my Siouxsie shirts. It’s happened 4 times in the last year, it’s pretty cool!

I'm really happy that this happened to me and I never thought I'd ever be noticed by a favorite member of one of my favorite goth groups ever so this is just so exciting to me and I really wanted to share 😀

First Seething Sunday of the year. Yep, shit still going down. New shit, old shit, deep shit.

I hope you are all doing ok and NYE hangovers were gone quickly at least.

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!

Hi, so I'm super into Christian Death's first album (can't get enough), and I was wondering if there is anything else that sounds like it, or if that album is just too unique.

I also really like Nosferatu's first album and Switchblade Symphony's first album, if there's anything like those, too.

Thanks!

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I used to go to a goth club in NYC back in the day and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. It was in Alphabet City. Had a main room and a small back room. Used to go there a lot and I can’t remember what it was called. Ugh. Was talking ti a friend who would go with me and he can’t remember either. I’m sure it’s not there anymore. Any ideas?

Just to be clear, I don’t consider myself goth nor do I claim to know goth music. But I’ve grown to appreciate at least what I know as goth in the form of The Cult. I definitely enjoy the allure and atmosphere of Love, Dreamtime too. I was curious about what everyone’s opinion on the album is. I know to some it was seen as The Cult straying away from their roots (and later straying further away with Electric and Sonic Temple).
