Teen Gothic

Just wanted to share this absolutely gorgeous promo poster for Clan of Xymox’s 2003 album Farewell I managed to find. This is one of my favorite albums from one of my favorite bands so I’m so happy to have it safe and framed. My Xymox collection is getting pretty nice so I might share the whole thing in February when I get the 11 LP set they’re releasing around then.

curious what yall's favorite deathrock acts are. currently my favorite is probably voodoo church, but i also love deadchovsky, ex voto, medusa stare, children with dog feet, and dead cult.

I've been to many concerts, goth music or not. But they had the best fucking performance I had ever experienced. Their music was crazy live. Headphones never did them any justice. I was simply smashed into a unicellular organism and it just made me appreciate so much being part of it all.

I feel like this is an important watch for the fellow baby bats!

ive just recently got into the goth subculture and i have a friend that im pretty sure has been in it for a while and i mentioned that i was listening to taylor swift with my friends at one of their houses (their giant swifties) and she gave me a weird look

i also feel like she would judge me for listening to bands like mommy long legs and dazey and the scouts

am i supposed to stop listening to music like that

Very weird experience there was a group of 4 people one of the girls wouldn't stop staring at me and laughing… I've never experienced this in a goth venue before yet she kept looking and trying to start something with me. Like why are people like this I'm not fighting a literal child…. Has anyone experienced negative occurrences with people like this ?

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.

What do you guys think about an afrogoth man? i’m kind of afraid to present myself as a goth, but i also know a lot of history, underground and even work at hot topic😭 but i want to join the goth community but feel as if i won’t be accepted or looked upon as weird

I'm in my 20's, still very much a babybat, and trying to learn about the history and scene today.

For the Goths who are now parents, how did that life event change or affect you? I guess if I am being honest, I'm more primarily interested in the perspective of 90's Goths, but if you're not, please still do share.

If you're an adult, but don't have kids or never plan to have kids, are you able to share what it's been like to see if your siblings, friends, and other people around your age having kids?

I feel particularly inspired by people who continue the lifestyle in parenthood, and share their connections to scenes. I once met a woman who was running a theater store, and she actually told me she used to be a Goth girl, and would join Goth clubs or Industrial clubs in Los Angeles. But now that she's a parent, she no longer visits the clubs or sports the iconic wardrobe.
