Teen Gothic

So for context, my mom said that I am not goth. I know the history, listen to the music, dress up sometimes, know about gothic movements, some religious aspects, and everything. How am I not goth? Also, my mom is not goth herself.

sorry if im not supposed to post this here!

I was browsing spotify these days and found out about this band named vampire beach babes. I really like their tunes, but they only have one album with 7 songs on spotify and youtube. I searched for more info on them, found their website, wikipedia page and some random blog posts recomending their music and i really wanted to listen to their other albums or just know if they're like, nice people yaknow (saw an old reddit post saying that the lead singer is kinda weird but nothing too absurd). Also if anyone have any bands that have similar sound to recommend would be great. Btw I'm a baby bat if u couldn't tell lol.
