Teen Gothic

I just watched this new video from Disturban covering Eurydice Dixon's assault and murder.

TRIGGER WARNING : descriptions of murder and sexual assault

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-eGloQ0X6U

I'll summarise so people who don't want to watch it can get the gist of what happened. In 2018 Eurydice Dixon (an up and coming Australian stand-up comedian) was on her way home after meeting with her boyfriend that night in Melbourne, Australia and she was stalked, sexually assaulted and killed by a man because he liked how she looked "goth". I will not name him because fuck this arsehole, he doesn't deserve the infamy.

His reason for stalking and assaulting her that night was he liked the look of her "because she looked goth". He also liked "emo" porn on the internet and over time shifted into more sexually violent content then later snuff films. He was also viewing this sort of material online after the crime to re-live it. He told his dad that next time he'll do it "better".

The chief of police spoke about ways women can keep themselves safe and many women took offence at this as it felt like victim blaming. And of course this annoyed the MRAs and anti-feminists. Before the planned vigil for Eurydice on the spot she died, an MRA activist vandalised it because he didn't like the feminist connotations. That's besides the main point about why I am posting this here but it is worth mentioning as it shows the contempt many men have towards women in general.

This is a case with a direct link to goths, emos and alt people being sexualised online leading to a real life crime. We don't know if he was just an awful man fetishising who took things way too far or saw her looking "goth" as a sign of weakness thus a soft target. I feel like he was emulating the porn he was watching either way. It was all for self gratification and power on his part and Eurydice looking goth/emo was a big part of that.

A lot of the porn out there with goth/emo people is very sexually violent or at least BDSM oriented. This shows it can lead to violent consequences in the real world though it has to be said most people wouldn't do something like this. But it can happen and they will cite that sort of porn as an influence.

I hope this bastard is never let out of prison as the judge thinks he has no remorse and will highly likely do it again. That said, he apparently isn't having an easy time of it in prison as other inmates have attacked him due to the nature of his crime.

Can be humorous or sincere. Personally, I think tiktok by Ke$ ha could be amazing.

Hi! I'm searching to listen to more Greek post punk/deathrock/punk bands with Greek lyrics too, with less electronic elements and more guitar, bass and drums. I've discovered the band Hekate recently and I really enjoy their sound, so I'd love to find more bands like them. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment

hey yall ! im poe and im a baby bat, i joined the subculture recently, around october (thats a fun month to start), and ive been obsessed with so much music, but i figured maybe i could see what music im missing out on, or things i havent listened to yet !!
I have listened to the more common and iconic ones, The cure, siouxsie & the banshees, bauhaus, the march violets, sisters of mercy, ghosting, etc and i just want to add music into my playlist !
so im open to take any suggestions because im literally so invested ! <3
you could even share your playlists in the comments, ill check them all out
(i hope i used the right flair)

I love emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate , ex pilots but they are the last people that I would associate with that look .

I must be missing something .

My kiddo is starting a goth club at his elementary school! I’m a lifelong goth, and I’m helping him work on playlists for the club. Any suggestions to play for kids ages 5-12? Thanks!

(I also wanted to show off the adorable poster he made!)

Just like the title says. I'm a baby bat, black, and I wanna get deeper into goth culture. My dad discourages it since the goth style is for "white people' since there's not a lot of black goths especially where I live :(does anyone have any experiences? I'd love to know!
