Teen Gothic

I’ll be wearing this to a pride event tomorrow representing two of my favorite communities 🖤

i feel like there's a stereotype around goth that all goths must be super miserable or smthn, but getting involved in the subculture has been helpful immensely for me. it acts not only as community, but also spending time discovering new music and creating my own music is a great outlet for any general frustrations. plus, as a trans and just generally gender nonconforming individual, i can be freely expressive with my appearance without getting judged for it, at least not within the community. it's also made me not feel as much of a need to mask symptoms of autism, since this subculture is much more accepting of autism and autistic traits than the general populus

tldr i love being goth and am just overall thankful for this subculture and every other person in it

Post your links to your selfies, favorite goth clothing, styles, ideas, wardrobes, and stores here. Have a killer outfit you want to show us? Or maybe that store is having a 25% off winklepickers or Demonia boots. Share it with us!

Also, have you joined r/GothFashion yet?

textpost bc idk how to make a picture like the other post

medusa stare, dead cult, they feed at night, SCHMERZ, graveyard gossip, lung overcoat, praise of folly, tabatha's nightmare, the vanishing, musta paraati, violet town, insulin reaction, isolation ward, three rose charm, marcquee moon, lost desert, spleen ideal, dead spells, dark minimal project, the forced oscillations, swans of avon

songs with the vibes i'm going for:

• the eternal, twenty four hours, new dawn fades, insight, day of the lords by joy division

• all of pornography, most of faith but especially the drowning man and faith by the cure

doesn't have to be any specific decade, anything that's depression in song form is welcome! thank u for any recommendations!

As the title states 🙂

I started listening to a "goth essentials" playlist last year b/c I've always been interested but had no idea where to start really, and among others Rosegarden really burrowed into my brain so if anyone has suggestions based on that I would love to hear them.

Do you consider it culturally insensitive to wear/use an Ankh when it is not from you culture?

I love the them but I don’t know if it’s appropriate or respectful for me to wear or use.

I’d like some creepier love song recs. I like sappy songs but right now I’m looking for something maybe more sinister feeling…?

Edit: here’s what I’ve got so far
