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?

I’m considering going to the one this weekend but have no one to go with and I’m wondering if it would be any fun? I’d love to hear how others like it and if it’s fairly easy to socialize alone.

I was thinking it might be fun Idk

Not sure if it's been something that's been around for a long time but I'm noticing people(mainly on social media) getting annoyed at goth people and saying its their only personality and that music and cloths shouldn't define who you are? It's kinda weird because it implies that all goth people live 24/7 only talking about Gothic stuff as if we are one dimensional which is impossible and completely untrue goth people don't only do goth things why are people getting mad at things they made up in their head it's so silly

I really love Hélène de Thoury’s voice. If you guys have any recommendations for bands that have a Darkwave sound please give them!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me any more songs that use a choir as an instrument – here's some examples:

For You – HIM, at 1:01

Saraband – Corpus Delicti, at 2:28

I want to become more connected with an irl community, but it can be a bit hard to find anything in this part of the country sometimes.. Any help from someone with experience would be appreciated!
