Teen Gothic

Any recommendations? I’m enjoying The Damned and Siouxsie and the Banshees at the moment.

Damn, as much as I wanted to, I’m not a big goth fan. I love gothic horror a shit ton, and I love the aesthetic itself, but the music isn’t my thing.

It feels over done and cheesy. Like a stereotypical scenario of the every day joe telling someone it isn’t Halloween yet. It happens because of my music, my art, my clothes, my interests,ect. Usually I can laugh it off or awkwardly smile, but there are times where I simply can’t entertain it. It’s tiring sometimes. It’s this acceptance of loss I’m feeling in knowing I’ll always have empathy for what others enjoy, even if I dont enjoy it, and my world feeling consumed by others who will never do the same. It’s the most saddening when you thought you were in a place where other lost souls go, but even in a grave of the souless, you are an outcast.

Want to chat about something which doesn't need it's own thread? Do it here!

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

Got approval from mods to post this very Darkwavey song 🙂 love this artist.

I'm under the impression that the goth scene in terms of clubs is a little hard to find. I've heard about slimelight, which I think still runs monthly, and my mum (an old school 90s goth) used to attend.

Whenever I Google, goth clubs near me it'll just show me lists of closed down places.

Anyone know any clubs/bars that regularly play goth/alternative music? Places that regularly attract goths?

Anywhere in London or an hour or 2 out of it would be nice.

Been helping my son with his first job. He is a catalog mailbox dropper type person thingie. He was pretty happy he bundled up 125 last night. I did 263 between last night and today. Trying to lead by example on good work ethic practices to get the job done. Will probably lead to him thinking Dad will do it when he's lazy. Boy will he be surprised…

I hope Tuesday doesn't suck for you too much. Until next Friday.
