Teen Gothic

I know goth is a music genre and the subculture is primarily based around the music. I love goth music- I got into it 4 years ago and get so exciting discovering new and old bands. I’ve been to a few events and concerts and have felt so happy and at home every time.

However, I don’t dress in what people would consider “goth” most days. I’m not very good at makeup and though I want to learn I haven’t had time to really lately. And I do have a lot of band tees and some nice black dresses or fishnets but I mostly end up wearing a lot of plaid shirts and blue or black jeans. I wish I could connect with other people who dress goth but I can’t afford to change my whole wardrobe and I do like some other styles. Does anyone else feel like this at all?
