Teen Gothic

So there's a club in my city that sometimes organises goth rock music nights (it's not exclusively a goth club). There's an event coming up soon that I'd like to go but I have no one to go with, I've been to lives and concerts alone and I don't mind that BUT is it weird and awkward to go to a club on your own? (I'm female btw). I want to go but I have a feeling I'll feel like a fish out of water being an introverted goth alone at a club…

Edit: Thanks everyone for your responses! 🖤 It's going to be a Maske Party as well because it's the time of the carnival where I'm from so that might make it easier to attend alone! And I guess having a beer or a glass of wine before attending might calm my anxiety… As for safety concerns, I've been to this club many times for concerts (both alone and with friends) and never had any issues, I just haven't tried clubbing alone and I guess everything new is scary at first 🦇

Released last friday. I know i'm a little late for modern Monday, but what do you all think about it? I really enjoyed it 🙂

I really love The Chameleons and Buck-Tick(post punk in their earlier albums)

What about everyone else? :3

I was worried that it got lost in the mail during shipping or something because i never received a tracking number, but i’m so glad it finally got here 😭 it’s so beautiful, im too scared to take it out of its film.

Want to chat about something which doesn't need it's own thread? Do it here!

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.

So this is something I’ve been perplexed about for awhile, so Ik the subculture was founded on music and that, but I feel like there’s not much emphasis on gothic literature all that much, at least not anymore.

My uncle said literature was just as important as the music in the 90’s, but it feels like we’ve all kind of forgotten about it these days. I mean, I got into the subculture from gothic literature, and it’s been around for WAY longer than the music, so why don’t we ever talk about it?

Surely being goth has SOMETHING to do do with influence of gothic horror stories? Listening to the music is fine, but it’s literally the bare minimum of how to be goth, and of this rich subculture full of mixes and mingling of so many different influences (seeing as how the music is so widespread in genres) and doesn’t the literature capture that too?
