Teen Gothic

First of all, I’m strictly talking about goths on Tik Tok. I understand goth people get made fun of all the time but why do the same to others? Why are people judged for simply having a different taste of music, fashion, and mindset? Not everyone is capable of liking the same things. I’m just confused. I posted about this somewhere else and got judged and told I had no understanding of goth?

Just completed this one. Unfortunately our shitty old flat had a mold issue, and the entire inner side of this thing was bad. I washed with mold spray, and it kinda bleached it, but with the satin over it, I don't think it looks bad.

It sadly fell apart so I have to remake it on a new cardigan I just thrifted 🙁 I’m going to add more bands tho ! I have velvet fabric and lace I wanted to use to make patches !

Hello again, this time I would like to know if there are any Spanish-speaking Goths around here (Mexican, Argentinian, etcetera). I'm from Mexico in this case, epicentre of a good part of the Latin American scene, and home of one of the most emblematic bazaars for the scene, the Tianguis Cultural del Chopo in CDMX. I would like to know more about your experiences and other things of interest that you can share here.

Anyway, I'll leave this here, enjoy:)

I'm not so daft as to bother people just trying to have a good time at the local goth club.

But as a middle millenial, dating sites just seem very unreliable. A lot of what I have found has been bots and people advertising business.

And the few times I've found real people, they're hesitant to move forward because the nail polish and eyeliner is weird to them, or they'd be embarrassed to bring someone home who does that.

So, what do you guys think? I'm happy to hear any ideas, opinions, or personal experiences, good, bad or funny.

I came across this tiktok of a girl talking about how she used to go to a goth night in Fresno 10 years ago and that she went again this year and there were so many young people.

I'm 21 and I've only been in the scene since COVID restrictions ended, so I can't compare. What I did notice is that most people are in their 40s and then there is a handful of young people, in their teens to early 20s that got into goth in the past few years, but it is still a very small group and I don't think it's enough to make any difference. One of the djs told my friends and I that they hadn't seen anyone under 30 at goth clubs for years until recently.

People who have been in the scene for longer, did you notice an increasing number of young people at events as well? Do you think goth has the potential to be a youth subculture again?
