Teen Gothic

Hello, I am a younger goth in NC. I am wanting to know if there are any goth or metal shows nearby the Charlotte area that anybody knows of coming up. I've checked a couple facebook pages already but I don't know any older goths in person to ask about informal events. I'm a few months shy of 18 so I imagine most places will turn me away. Does anyone know any events or really anything around here, like all the way out to Greensboro if needed? Thanks.

Show us what you've DIY (Do It Yourself) lately! Be it clothes, painting, maybe a Andrew Eldritch lookalike?

Hello! I'm quite new to the goth community. I've been listening to some bands like London After Midnight, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Depeche Mode.

I wanted to ask if the following bands could be considered goth:

• Sidewalks and Skeletons • Ludovico Technique • Night Club

All of them seem to have darkwave as one of their genres (going by google) but I'm not quite sure.

hey! im 17 years old and still in highschool. I'm currently facing a lot like a LOT of ridicule (for lack of better term) for my appearance at school. I just moved to a very backwards town from a bigger more progressive city and am not finding it easy lol. I know it isnt new at all, and im usually pretty good at dealing with it however its starting to kind of bug me. Any tips from elder-goths on how to better handle this ? (id greatly appreciate it)

i have always loved goth music and I've always been borderline goth in my fashion but never dove too far inn. picture more general alt style. I've been stepping up my fashion game but am having trouble with makeup. I DONT want to change my skin color. I am latina and you may or may not know that in Latin America there is a huge problem with colorism and it just feel wrong (and kind triggering to me) to lighten my skin. does anyone know any influences or have any other fashion and specifically makeup resources that don't alter their skin tone?
