Teen Gothic

Hello my fellow bats!!

I’m heading down to LA 26-28 this week for universals Halloween horror nights!! (I’m so thrilled I can’t contain my excitement) haha, for one night out of those two nights. Anyways I’ll have one free night. I’m not from California and I’ve heard the goth scene is really big out there! I’ve seen so much about goth clubs but there’s a problem! I’m not 21. In fact I’m 20… it’s a bummer that I’m so close to being 21 (4 more months!!) anyways.. since I’m still technically ‘underage’ is there any 18+ or 20+ friendly goth clubs I should know about? I want to meet as many bats that I could those days!!

Thanks for all the help! 🦇🖤

Me and my bff (who's no longer goth) were reminiscing about our time as baby goths in the mid 00's as a teen. Boy did our experiences SUCKED. You got ridiculed in the streets, you got ridiculed by other goths (granted, starting with evanescence wasn't cool, but unfortunately it was the starting point in that era). If you were a girl, you became a lethal man repeller.

How was your experience?

I think they’re a great band, the song Euphoria is really good, what do you guys think? And maybe similar songs

I ran across some playlists with shoegaze and dream pop music, and I still can't differentiate one genre from the other, they're pretty much the same for me. Also, I've been listening to my bloody valentine, lush and Slowdive and I don't know if they're really goth bands. People tend to put Cocteau twins in the same box, but for me they're ethereal wave, am I wrong? Anyway, I don't mind listening bands that are not goth, I listen to metal as well, but I don't want to commit the mistake to classify/recommend bands telling my friends that they're goth, when they're not.

I plan on making the super part a bit thinner and add some details inspired by this visual

sorry for the weird question, but I have been thinking about going to a club like this for a while now. There are some really nice music that I'd like to enjoy at a venue like this and dance to it.

Living in germany, never really went to a club here at least not goth/techno styled one and was wondering if I would be welcome? Out of curiosity I looked at pictures of clubs and didnt see anyone looking turkish or of eastern origin

What people tagging DCD as? Asking just out of curiosity since i really have not much clue regarding goth scene in general. Example, "Spirit", or "Cantara" , some of their top hits (i suppose?), reminds me a bit of Ataraxia or Arcana.
