Teen Gothic

CANT BELIEVE I GET TO SEE THE CHAMELEONS OMG 😱 🤩

I’ve been wanting to get into the goth scene for a while but due to controlling parents I wasn’t able to until I recently moved out. That being said how would y’all recommend someone from a smaller town find the local goth community?

I’m trying to get into goth music but a bunch of artists have albums that are hours long and they have like 20 albums, I fear I’ll be called a poser if I don’t listen to an artists whole discography or something or freeze up when someone asks me to list a song. Popular or obscure I’m fine with, idc. Lately I’ve been listening to twin tribes and molchat doma and Cocteau twins

I do enjoy how melodramatic Nosferatu is, but sometimes it just doesn’t work for me. I can’t really decide if I love it or hate it. Also the production/mixing really drags.

For the handful of people in the worldwide goth community who still don't know there is currently an error on Spotify that concerns goth/punk/post punk music fans.

When you access Siouxsie and the Banshees on Spotify, a picture of The Isley Brothers pops up instead. It is unknown if this a real error or done on purpose for black history month. Someone else noticed Corpus Delicti's Twilight had the wrong album cover on it, unsure if this is related or not.

We have removed at least 5 posts about this so far posting a screencap. If you must talk about it then do it here.

If you want to make jokes about it, someone posted it in r/gothmemes and you can do it there too – https://www.reddit.com/r/gothmemes/comments/1ah8h37/favourite_member/

like….not from hate to love or love to hate….both at the same time yk

I’m what people call a “closeted goth” I do not look/dress the part but I love the music, the history and all around aesthetic of Goth culture, I feel right at home here. I've had times where I'd be in a goth club and at first they'd think I'm some lost dude only to be pleasantly surprised when I start talking about some of my favorite bands and or artists.

Have any of yall run into someone who shocked you finding out they're goth at heart they just don't physically show it?

i understand that they aren’t too popular but they definitely deserve more recognition, they some of my favourite deathrock songs ever made and i’ve just never seen any discussion about them past a singular reddit comment where someone recommended them to a deadchovsky fan

Question is in the title. Synthpop and other adjacent genres are fine with me 🙂

Im not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but my dad got me a siouxsie and the banshees shirt for my birthday and it has siouxsie sioux in the middle with the star of david. Im not jewish and i am not educated on any of this but i am worried its distasteful or something for me to wear it considering im not jewish. I want to make sure before i wear it.
