Teen Gothic

So disappointing – to think these guys are the first brit punks to do anything and now theyre using AI?? I hope they take this crap down after they see the horrid reception from their fanbase smh…

I have been looking forward to this one finally releasing. Steve was an absolute delight to interview and I am glad we have his stories preserved.

Plus Steve shows how goth has been both musical and political since the beginning from the words of someone who helped get goth started.

I also like how he covered his other projects. The man is an artist in so many genres and mediums.

I’m a baby bat (it’s been about 1.5 years since I started immersing myself in goth culture) and recently I’ve been just not really enjoying goth music like I used to. Instead, I’ve been listening to mainly 80s normie music while still partaking in all other aspects of being goth, such as DIY, aesthetics, activism, etc. So, this question goes out to any older goths, do you also experience this? If so, how long did it take you to be able to come back to goth music?

I'm going to use white thread. I've found that my regular sewing needles work better than my cheap leather needles, but we'll see how they hold up. Still 20 bands to add to the front and sleeves.

Probably their most well known album, heavy death rock vibes with electronic dance elements. Let the wave of electric doom wash over you… you may find your eyes and genitals glowing bright red by the time it ends.

Extras: typewritten lyrics sheet with penned in corrections for the 1985 US release (which the version I own is)

My top tracks:

-In God We Trust (In Cars You Rust?)

-Breakdown and Cry (Lay Down and Die – Goodbye)

-Attack!!!!!!#2

Honorable mention:

-E.S.T. (Trip to the Moon)

Sidenote: I decided a few days ago which tracks on these albums I was gonna mention, and it was a bit painful to only choose 4 on each. Seriously just listen to the whole thing if you haven’t already (and if you have already, then do it again anyway)

So, Bragolin made a statement about using genAI for their next, soon to be released music vide. Said it was used to critic the fakeness of human replication by the technology. You can also read some answers in the comments with the usual "genAI being here to stay and we should adapt and think of ethic use".

I personnally think it's gross as fuck from them. I don't care about their illusion of an ethic use of genAI and any crass justifications they will make up, I don't care that "it's here to stay", genAI is cursed and it's ruining absolutely everything it touches. It's stupid to believe and say the contrary, and it's even worse coming from artists.

I'm disappointed and I'm not sure I'll be able to enjoy their work anymore.

I've already done too much red, Black, and White for pervious clothing and am having a hard time settling on something. Any suggestions would really help 🙂

Just got the notification email of a ticket refund. Pretty disappointed. My band was going to play in San Antonio the night before. An after party of sorts for the Twin Tribes show happening at Paper Tiger. It was going to be a killer weekend. I’m not familiar with enough people who are involved with this fest, but it’s probably not too much of a leap to assume it’s because of visa issues caused by the cruel incompetence of the current presidential administration. Obviously this isn’t as bad as executing people in the streets, but it’s all connected. Whether you think you can ignore what’s happening around you or not, it will impact your life at some point.

oh my god I just watched the documentary titled Sex, Death & Eyeliner. it's been posted on this sub before but I want to revive it in case any baby bat (or frankly anyone interested in Gothic history) wishes to watch it. it starts with the music scene, how it started. But then it delves into everything. Fashion, body modifications, vamyprism, BDSM, philosophy, media and conventions, decor. captivating, authentic documentary on the 90's goth scene, the variety from person to person, the aspects and looks of what goth originally was.

(content warning! it shows up close genitalia, in both sexual and non sexual (body modification) context. it shows nudity, a lot of sexual topics including S&M if anyone is particularly squeamish to those things)
