Teen Gothic

When I was still fairly new to goth in the early to mid-00s, Lakini (Dan) was well-known. He established a LiveJournal community called "gothmusicshare" and worked on the Drop Dead Festival in NYC. The deathrock revival he helped to spearhead was exciting. He had a significant following online.

I'm told that he was polarizing, however. My closest elder goth friend at the time was not fond of his immaturity and brash personality. (She was in the scene in the 80s and wasn't easily impressed. He called her "prissy.") I've since learned that he was a creep and an opportunist who mined his associates for underground band names like Blue In Heaven and then claimed that he, himself had discovered them from within the hidden vaults of previous decades.

What are your own thoughts and experiences?

My concert buddy won’t be able to go anymore so I’m going by myself. If any of you guys are also going let me know! It’d be nice to meet cool people there 🙂

Anyone have a favorite Spotify playlist that they particularly enjoy? Doesn’t have to be one of your own, but something you really enjoy.

Here’s mine: essential goth

I'm looking for goth songs with samples of Alan Watts talking, does anyone know of any? Or samples of other philosophers in goth music?

Most of my goth friends think yam crazy, but I think Metamorphosis of Narcissus is an all time great song…
