Teen Gothic

In Australia there’s a group of brand wearing dickheads called eshays who particularly hate gays and goths or anyone who remotely looks goth. They are usually in their mid teens and always wear the same nike, adidas or other shitty brands as a signature of being eshay. It’s constant harassment from different eshays everywhere. It doesn’t matter whether you’re alone or in a group they’ll bark at you like you’re a dog, scream “emo!! Ahhhh!” And call you many slurs.

I’ve always been frustrated because I never quite know the perfect come back to shout at these pricks.

Any ideas?

I'm absolutely dating myself here, but another post reminded me of this… who remembers the Goth Code that used to be used in your tagline on Usenet and other early social media sites??

Goth Code

We used to use it to sum up our interests and looks into a neat little cryptic package, heh. There used to be a converter too but I can't find that anymore, boo.

Anyway, trip down memory lane 😄

Hello! I heard this great darkwave/goth dance song about a week ago at a goth night in Brooklyn. I managed to get a audio recording after many failed Soundhound attempts and have reuploaded it as an unlisted video on YouTube.

It reminds me a lot of many goth bands so its difficult for me to pin down 🙁

I feel like its a clean enough recording for a fan of the band/song to identify, I've just exhausted all song recognition programs and really loved the song that night, so please help if you know!

There are many people who go through the same struggle I hope everyone gets accepted for who they are. I've been goth for 2 years now and my family does not accept me for who I am thinking that religious people can't be goths, since I know that they all hate goths which makes me the odd person in the family, I wouldn't talk about them thinking that they'd be against me. My anxiety and self-esteem is stopping me from wanting to express myself.

it’s sonically/technically a deathrock song whether you like it or not. is that something any of you disagree with? if so, why?
