Teen Gothic

seems like forever is probably the best album in the last 10 yrs. idk it just seems authentic. IMO of course

Replacing this with a patch as soon as I can, this is horrific to look at

Back in November I started going to goth nights by myself. My first night felt mega awkward because I had no clue how to dress, didn’t know anything about etiquette and didn’t know what to expect. Since then, I’ve only missed one show. It’s my new favorite thing. It’s something I look forward to the most each month.

To someone else, I probably look bored and like a borderline creeper at these. I usually find a spot to sit or something to lean against. I’m not a dancer, I’m a musician, so I’m there with a different perspective. I keep to myself because I only know a small handful of people and they aren’t always there. I’m the type that is shy unless someone talks to me first.

One of the coolest things about not being a dancer is the opportunity for people watching. I’m not talking about checking out clothes or makeup, but being able to be still and appreciate the world. It’s cool to see groups of friends having a good time. It’s good to see other solo people doing their own thing. It’s so good to see people BE THEMSELVES and escape the world a little while. One of the regular dancers played her first live DJ set this weekend. So dang cool to see someone take that step.

If you are ever on the fence about going alone, do it. Don’t put it off because it might be awkward or uncomfortable. Go dance, go listen, go hide in a dark corner with your arms crossed. You will have the time of your life.

Bands and artists that use mostly synths/electronic music too. Hearing music live and not being too pleased on how they sound IRL will not keep me from continuing to listen to them. Just wondering about others’ experiences with live goth music.

Ey up all,

This is something thats been on my mind for awhile and I dont think its just within the goth scene but hear me out.

I have discussed this with my friends that confirmed it and also once with a large goth youtuber (AB) during a live stream through chat.

So I want to see if any of you, perhaps more so during your youth reduced your accent to not sound like the people around you, this could be because you disliked your local dialect or for where I am from, to not sound like the local chavs.

other more out there reasons maybe influences from band members, to sound more smart, or influences for say in UK to sound like charters from movies who spoke "proper" English with a london / posh dialect, or maybe you moved and had issues being understood.

I hope this makes sense, the main point im trying to ask is, did you change your dialect due to not liking your own? because generally within the scene I have noticed most folk are quite well spoken.

Again i have spoke to a few people about this and a few certinly have confirmed it.

I am researching it for my own video for youtube.

Thank you all.
