Teen Gothic

I would first like to say that yes I do know that post brexit wave is not goth in the slightest with most bands adopting a more art rock and no wave sound and others staying well away from goth adjacent sounds. Fontaines DC dropped Skinty Fia in 2022, an album which seems to lean into dark post punk sounds and aesthetics that feel borderline gothic or at times full on gothic post punk. I've also started getting into up and coming underground acts like heartworms and nightbus. Heartworms probably could be best described as post brexit wave adjacent post punk with a gothic twist and nightbust are what would happen if the xx went gothic. What do you guys think of these bands and artists? Anything similar right now within the goth scene that you would recommend or other British bands with similar sounds you listen to?

i really want to make some goth friends but i don’t know where to look for them as im only 17 (so cant go to goth clubs). does anyone have any advice?

Every single goth song I’ve heard is always about some vague abstract depressive concept I don’t know how to relate to, with the exception of scary bitches. They’re good objectively, but I just don’t understand it, does anyone have any recommendations or anything?

Hi all, I’m trying to go to more live shows and events in the next year. What are good suggestions for North America?

If there’s a better place to ask this, please let me know.
