Teen Gothic

This one is probably going to sell out quickly. We got our tickets. I'm not running this show but thought I'd share. Tickets at www.ritualnoize.com

What’s your most goth-card revokable opinion? Mine is that I don’t love every track by bauhaus. And I dress like someone’s 90s grunge stoner dad. R u really Goff??

I've listened to Joy Divisions first album a few times because i assumed they were widely considered the first goth rock band, the Ramones of goth essentially. Only to now find out they're considered a proto-goth band apparently, the mc5 of goth if we're sticking with the punk rock allegory.

So what band then is considered the first 100% goth band. Not proto-goth, not an inspiration for goth, genuine goth music

It has become a prominent stereotype now that guys would be more interested in us than in girls dressed more ordinarily. I have personally experienced a level of fetishization multiple times, so I wonder if others have also experienced that. Even if you haven't, do you think this stereotype is true, and if so, why is that?

Oh hi. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a coffee table book (or not. Doesn’t have to be a coffee table book but I like also using books as decor) that goes through the history of goth music?

I’ve heard a lot lately about like, appropriating goth stuff and posers and stuff, so I have a question:

Is it ok to incorporate traditionally “goth” elements into my fashion if I don’t really claim to be goth and don’t listen to goth music that much? I primarily listen to emo/punk, art rock and metal with a bit of goth here and there, but I wear tons of clothes and makeup that make most people call me gothic/goth.

I’ve always wanted to just go for a darker, more “refined” emo style and never claim to be goth, but like, a few actual goths I know have been talking a lot about “aesthetic-ization” or whatever of goth and I’m kinda worried I’m doing that
