Teen Gothic

Based on the information that has come out, has anyone tried getting a refund? and did it work? I bought my ticket last year and feel uncomfortable going, I should’ve listened to my gut feeling and now I’m stuck with a ticket. I love the bands and wanna go see them but I’d prefer if I could get a refund. I don’t want the organizers to have my money.

What a show

English is not my language.

I'd like to receive recommendations for songs with a really vampiric organ sound.

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.

Been a part of the scene for years, but constantly find myself taking a step back from "dressing goth" due to the over-sexualization I keep experiencing! Went from being bullied and considered a freak/ugly to suddenly being fetishized out of nowhere. I ended up getting selling all of my gothic clothing and toning down my style after high school. Im in my 20's now and have really missed dressing up and outwardly presenting myself the way I actually love. But holy fuck I cannot leave my house without being sexualized. I am followed, catcalled, ogled at, etc and it driving me crazy. I've taken a step back from social media, because of gross comments and dm's. I don't date because I'm not treated as a human being, it honestly hurts. I am already an extremely anxious and shy, so this doesn't help at all. On a similar note, when it comes to dating, it is extremely frustrating to have people assume things about me just because of the way I dress, when in reality I am the complete opposite. I'm not only sexualized for being goth, but also for being a latina, it's like I can't win! Anyways, if you're also someone who experiences this, how do you deal with this? Looking for any sort of advice, and just needed to get this off of my chest.

Does anyone if there is a subreddit that’s only for Gothic tattoos. I kinda been looking for some inspo. Horror theme, gothic, post-punk, etc.

has goth and alternative culture felt extra fetishized in recent years? I went to a “bloodrave” event last night because it was advertised as hard techno, industrial, goth music and a subculture event. Which sounded like a fun event to dance at. The crowd was almost all very normie straight white men. I got grabbed over twenty times being told all kinds of out of pocket things. Mostly about my tattoos and some latex pieces I was wearing and being “alone”. I feel like the internet has made goth culture a porn genre at this point. I feel safer being a little freak in a normal sports bar at this point than I do a “goth night” event lol. At least in the city I’m in. I know there’s way more pressing matters happening in the world right now but it was just on my mind and wanna know if you guys have events or places you feel comfortable and have fun going to! 🖤

What happened this week that made you happy?

Maybe you found a great new album or just an album you hadn't heard about before? Maybe you found a new cuddly kitten that now is a part of your family?
