Teen Gothic

There’s only this, a handful of pics, and memories from my Goth days.

I was very active in the goth scene in my late teen / 20s and then started a career and just had no time. I’m in my 40s and started going out to dance nights and there to reconnect with this part of my world. I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of elder goths out there and felt very welcome. Many of us are bringing it with style! Dancing again was really good for my dark and neglected soul.

If you’re in your 40s-50s do you still go out dancing? What has your experience been like?

big day for me specifically, felt like you should know too

I always wondered this ever since I started to get into the goth scene. As a black goth, I get called shit like whitewashed, wanna-be white, school shooter, satan worshipper, etc. Plus, I go to a catholic school so the insults are like times ten. Some of my aunties even call me "fast" for wearing black & red (idek why…)

I wanted to know what was the goth experience like for a POC during 70s to 90s, maybe even the 2000s (even though the 2000s really isn't that old). I'm curious lol.

I AM SO HAPPY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS FOR THEM TO ADD IT BACK
