Teen Gothic

As the title says, curious to hear how other goths feel about bands using a drummer vs drum machine/pre recorded/synth drums live

Still need to paint over some of the sketching and the front is a bit empty.

Is there an app to make goth friends in your area? I barely have friends let alone goth friends and my area sucksss.

Hi so i seen a post on this thread asking “what’s the most gothic song” and a couple people said bela lugosis dead has to be the most goth because it “started it all”. Can someone please explain how did this song create people being goth. Sorry if it’s common knowledge just curious and never heard of this before haha.

I would love to see how others reacted when you introduced your friends and families to our scene of music. I’ve been lucky enough to have people in my life who are open minded to new experiences even if it’s outside of the comfort zone. I’ve invited my people, including my parents, to clubs, shows and other alternative/goth ventures. Lots of them really enjoyed the experiences and have come back for more, started listening to some of the bands. Some of the things they have said are along the lines of “I thought y’all listened to screaming music” and “I didn’t know goths like to get down” lol it’s always a good time to share our subculture with those who are only aware of it through it’s often faux representation in forms of media.

Related to the never-ending discussion about "what is goth", what would you say is the most Goth song ever? I suggest that it is "Marian" by Sisters of Mercy. It has it all: romanticised death, doomed love, alienation, hints of the supernatural, and the music is marvellously downbeat yet catchy, with a suggestion of Transylvania in its cimbalom-like guitar part in the chorus.
