Teen Gothic

I've stayed at a homeless shelter before where there was a high population of Goths. I was wondering if there is any shame in being a homeless Goth?

I know I probably shouldn't feel ashamed but for some reason I do feel ashamed. Is there anything wrong with being a homeless Goth?

I have a playlist but no matter what i feel like it isn't enough. So im open to any recommendations! I am not sure if i can share my playlist but here are groups that i listen to:

1782 45 Grave The agnes circle Alien sex fiend Ash code Bauhaus The birthday massacre The birthday party Boy Harsher Buzz kull Christian death Clan of xymox Corpus delicti The cramps The cure Dead cult Darling violetta Disjecta membra Diva destruction Dystopian society Fear cult Fear of dolls Inkubus sukkubus Je t'aime Joy division Kargalar La scaltra Libitina Mephisto walz The merry thoughts Motorama Nosferatu Paralysed age Plastique noir Rendez vous Rosetta stone She past away Sex gangs children She wants revenge Siouxsie and the banshees Sisters of mercy Skeletal family Skeleton hands Specimen Suspiria Switchblade symphony Tempers This cold night Void vision

I like any kind of goth music so everything is fine!

Sadly due to Peter Murphy's throat ailments the show was cancelled tonight. (Per parking lot guy). Hope he gets well, they are going to AZ in two days then starting on the European tour. Kinda a bummer

does anyone know of any goth songs that have lyrics about vampires? i'm trying to create a themed playlist and would appreciate any help

​

i only have these so far:

45 grave – riboflavin

selofan – billie was a vampire

paralysed age – bloodsucker

bauhaus – bela lugosi's dead

I really like she wants revenge and sisters of mercy. Can anyone give me recommendations with the same vibes as those bands? Please and thank you 🙂

I noticed nostalgia is moving toward the early 2000s lately, and while it's good to explore and discuss a lot of really good goth music and positive aspects of the subculture and scene memories from this time, on the other hand, I have to say if you into the music and subculture then while it was happening, it wasn't always an easy time for everyone for the following reasons especially when compared to a certain periods in 90s and 2010s-present.

-Loads of increasing misinformation from every corner; tv shows, questionable books, and overwhelming amount of poor or mediocre internet articles. For some reason it seemed more than other periods.

-There was much more of a limit on what you could find online, in terms of music and band info and music via filesharing and video content.

-Very conservative time and lots of homophobic and vulgar language was extremely normalized and could be frequently used towards anyone that was goth.

-Lots of people conflated industrial bands with goth. Too many people appropriating goth at the same time (cybergoth, mall goths etc)

-Right after Columbine and few years after, dressing goth, depending where you lived, increased your chance of getting physically assaulted compared to other periods, labeled as a potential shooter, sent to a school therapist, totally harassed non-stop etc

-Also less easy to find DIY guides compared to today and other periods.

What do you remember?

There are tons of positive things about this period. The point here is just to have honest discussion about how things were for some people into goth.
