Teen Gothic

This is wildly different than my experience in New England and I was shocked to see it tbh.

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

Warning to bands / DIY labels – ex member of a band called Dealer lying he’s associated with and part of bands / labels as an excuse to assault and harass women. Some decent sized labels and bands have come back to confirm he’s been lying so worth keeping an eye out for. Oakland based – believe he plays synth / guitars / “produces.” First name Aaron, and initials are A.C. Got ran out of the Seattle scene for something similar apparently. Also lied about associations with labels such as Static Shock in EU and was supposedly working with the goth singer Racquel.

I’ve always been in love with the goth subculture from my early teens, I just never did a deep dive into it, I’ve listened to some of the music back then but had never fully explored it to its fullest potential. Now I’m in my late teens and I’ve done a full deep dive into the music, listening to sad lovers and giants, suspiria, Rosetta Stone, low life, xmal deutschland, clan of xymox, o. Children, the chameleons, little Nemo, and so so so much more not including the bands I already listened too. I know I’m listening to the right music, as well as some goth adjacent music mixed in with the run of the mill goth music. I already know how to dress goth. I know a good amount about the subculture, but I can’t help but feel like I’m a poser, I keep checking my playlist to make sure I’m listening to the correct music even though I know I am. I feel confident within this subculture but am having a hard time fully becoming flourished in it due to me feeling as if I’m a poser. How do I overcome this? I don’t feel goth enough!!

It was truely amazing, they sounded great live!! I got to talk to some of the band members for a bit and they were really kind on and off-stage, overall the atmosphere and everyone I talked to was so nice and welcoming!

Apologies for moving the camera around so much I tried getting everyone on my screen which was hard because I didn’t want to lift up my phone:,)

what are your favourite lyrics in goth songs? It can be overall or just a few lines <3
