Teen Gothic

I'd really like to do maybe a light daily makeup routine so I could use some recommendations! Thanks y'all!

Hi guys! I have a ticket that I bought for the march violets show tonight at respectable street in WPB. I have decided to not go anymore because my anxiety is getting the best of me so please if anyone would like a free ticket so it does not go to waste dm me!

I know this isn’t really much of a genre or real, it sounds ridiculous, but I’m genuinely curious if there are any hardcore sounding goth bands, like hardcore goth punk, anyone got bands that are kinda like this?

I am a conservator of monuments and public art in NYC. I wear a uniform as I am a city employee and the job is extremely physical and dirty (think blue collar masonry and metalwork). Everyday I find myself, in my personal life, dressing up less and less and less and less. I know our subculture has more to do with the music and history than the outward aesthetic but it can feel a bit like losing your identity in a way. I only have the weekends do get everything done (chores, appointments, laundry, socialize) so I end up throwing on jeans and a simple shirt and running out the door. I hardly ever go to the goth nights and clubs anymore. I imagine this is not a unique experience so I guess this is more of a vent to those that get it than anything else lol.

all the b&w posters (except motorhead and the cure) i made myself!

In recent years, I can't help but notice how samey people tend to look in regards to clothes, hair and makeup style. When you look back at goths over the years you can get a sense of that person based on their style because it feels uniquely them, like they took the time to craft that look. Things change a lot when you get to the mid-late 2010s.

With the rise of social media and influencer culture, brands can just pay people to shill out for their clothes and make it seem desirable; all the while their clothes is made with the cheapest labor possible and with only money at the forefront of their minds. Thus creating a perceived high price of entry for baby bats getting into the scene.

I don't blame the people, but I do think brands have been wielding the net and social media like a weapon against our individuality.
