Teen Gothic

i love the sound of a lot of goth music but i struggle to find songs with lyrics that really speak to me. i’m thinking something along the lines of, say… megalomania by muse, do you doubt me traitor by lingua ignota, climbing up the walls by radiohead… that kind of vibe. i like really gritty, bone-chilling music as well— stuff that doesn’t hold back and kind of just shows someone… spiraling into despair and anger, i guess? if you know anything like that lmk for sure 🙂

something like alien sex fiend, scary bitches, lesbian bed death…………..

what are the band names you absolutely could NOT bring up in a casual conversation

Which songs are the most unhinged, noisy or downright batshit crazy? I’m looking for extremes

I personally love writing my own stories, I also play a little acoustic guitar and sing a little in my spare time.

So, i got in a discussion on another goth related forum of "dress codes" at venues. My attitude is "fuck you, i wear what i want, when i want". I'm more into "post punk" in general than strictly goth, and my manner of dress is typically more on the punk side of things or whatever weirdness i'm on at that moment (currently,: tie dye clerical/preist clothing. Im going for psychedelic ufo cult leader)
The issue is some people are pushing harder for dress codes at events and venues. I take serious issue with that. Why should i be obligated to wear certain colors or conform toa certain style of dress, when i only care about the music? I tend to have the urge to do the opposite of what im told, so if im being told i need to wear black, im going to rebell against it beacuse its just my nature. I thought my attitude of "fuck the fashion, its all about the music" would be the more popular, but apprently im in the minority. alot of people responded in favor of it. To me, that just seems hypocritical since this is an alternative subculture that arose put of punk. what does the reddit goth folk think. should one be olbigated to wear black at goth night? what if i WANT to stand out like a sore thumb?
