Teen Gothic

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.

Asking because to me personnally, theres a few 'off' things that i can't put my finger on that make it sound a little different from typical music of the genre, but what that specifically is, I can't pin.
(Also, I'm not SUPER knowledgeable, I only got into this genre after hearing Bauhaus at a waterpark about a year ago. Out of all the places to hear Bauhaus, a waterpark. My point is, I'm a newbie.)

I'm trying to add goth music to my playlist, (which I think I'm doing semi-well, but song recs are appreciated)I love Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus, so any similar songs are appreciated!I mostly listen to rock and metal bands if that helps

I know for fashion, thrifting and DIY are the best, so any clothes to look for when thrifting (I am a boy baby bat, so clothes in that section are appreciated)

I also love to read, so any gothic literature requests are great too! (My fave gothic lit pieces are Phantom of the Opera and Jekyll and Hyde)

Other facts about me: I dress pretty emo (and listen to the music) and I'm also getting into the punk scene (which if I remember correctly, Goth (music?) came from, but please correct me if I'm wrong)

Any other tips that I didn't ask for in this are also greatly appreciated! ^-^

People want pretty pictures on their walls. My girlfriend gets free posters in her metal albums all the time, and not one in my collection came with one. Maybe I'm just buying the wrong ones, not sure.

Please, even if they are small.

I know it's money, but even huge bands in the scene do not include any.

Even as a separate purchase, do sell them online.

What happened this week that made you happy?

Maybe you found a great new album or just an album you hadn't heard about before? Maybe you found a new cuddly kitten that now is a part of your family?

I usually only listen to music through spotify, so I never see music videos. I'm sure I'm missing out on some great ones!
