Teen Gothic

I'm actually a raw black metal fan but I've listened to all of their songs and they're all perfect and I think they're goth. So, can you recommend me some more bands like them?

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.

We went to listen to some local goth bands and it was a great show! We were invited by the lead singer of Strzyga, he also runs a cool spooky coffee shop/bar in PDX; he recognized us and invited us to come to the show.

Bands there were Nightsister, Doomed Romantics, and Strzyga. I highly recommend checking them all out on whatever music streaming platform you use.

This is very exciting. I’ve never thought she would play a show in the states.

I just got invited to a "goth baddies assemble" group on Instagram and the contents sickened me. What I didn't show here that was also in the chat was clip art of sexual acts. All from the people you see in the screenshots. It was disgusting to see, and infuriating. The constant fetishization of the subculture pisses me off on a daily damn occurrence. I reported the chat itself and the people, but I of course doubt that IG will even do a damn thing. I felt the need, amidst my agitation lmao, to come to reddit to vent about it and use it as an opportunity for discussion on how you as individuals feel about this constant issue and what you do to prevail over this and any experiences you've had related to being sexualized and objectified without your consent, when just trying to exist and mind your business.

(And if any of yall feel the desire to seek out that scum and mass report them, that would just be sweet, sweet justice 🤭 but that's just a bonus lol)

Gods, where to begin? I don't even remember how I came across the Nephs, some time in 1991 I think, but they've been a life long favourite and this album is the ultimate goth cowboy road trip record.

They were such a unique band; entwined guitars, amazing basslines and drumming, atmosphere to spare and Dreamboat McCoy's unmistakable voice.

To clarify, I’m not a goth. Maybe I could be a goth if I tried! But I haven’t tried at least not yet. Anyway, I am a trans woman and this community is the only community besides my own that is consistently wholesome and kind to me. More open arms than you count.

I gravitate towards you in public spaces because I’m like “Okay, safe people. Safe people. Thank God. Safe people.” And I won’t even know y’all and I haven’t been wrong yet.

Just gotta say, love you guys!
