Teen Gothic

I am a baby bat that would love to find a goth friend to do fun friend things and explore goth more. I know concerts are the most popular but where I'm from that mostly happens in the cities and some underground things that are probably hours away or are too underground for a baby bat to have enough connections to know about. The goth scene is pretty limited where I'm from and I was just wondering if there are any alternatives as to where to gain friendships other than concerts. Unless y'all can help me know how to look up underground goth concerts, I've tried myself to look in my area but facebook pages seem dead and nothing really seems to come up.

Just wanna start getting into goth music as I’ve been into goth fashion for about two years, here are my overall favourite bands:

The Birthday Party, The Cure, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, Bôa, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, That one not goth band with Peter Steele that I cannot write because it’s infamous

I'm looking for club classics and hidden gems with lgbtq+ themes, or (preferably) by lgbtq+ artists.

Goth or goth adjacent genres only please.

(So like the Sisters doing the Abba cover for example, Sopor Aethernus or Klaus Nomi? But it can be more niche stuff too)

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.

I’m making a playlist with Scandinavian artists/songs and I’m curious if you guys know of any??

You know what munches my spiders? The flair colours here. Seething Sunday is red as it should be. But so is Music and Band Meeting!

Goth music isn't angry – what do we look like, a bunch of punks, rivetheads and metalheads stomping around all scowly?

I kind of get the Band Meeting flair being red as those things can get pretty heated with creative differences and all that. But if it is meant to be people meeting the bands that is a joyous occasion. Provided the band members don't treat the meeter like a dick.

Then there is Bandcamp Fridays which is red-ish. I guess it counts as a red light sale.

Most of the so called "goth" characters in shows and movies (Raven, Lydia Deetz, Gwen from TDI) tend to be more darkly inclined than goth (Still love those characters tho) which has me wondering: Are there any goth characters in media who actually do listen to the music?
