Teen Gothic

A week or two ago, I had a substitute teacher in one of my classes. He was an older gentleman and I was dressed more overtly goth than usual, so I was worried about how I would be received. I said good morning to him and he gave me a big grin, then asked if I was goth. I said yes and he said “That’s lovely! I like your dress. My granddaughter likes long dresses like that.” He single-handedly made my day 🙂

Do y’all have any unexpected wholesome encounters like this? I would love to hear about them!

Take care, and have a lovely day 🖤🦇

What was/were the song/s that got you into the whole culture and made you explore it deeper and dive in it

I just want to say that all my encounters with goths have always been wholesome and positive.

Now I'm a normie who knows little to fuck-all about Goth culture, yet all my encounters with them have been good, I'll name two that I remember dearly

First encounter: Back in 2011 at my High school I always felt like an outsider with other normies yet these goths made feel welcome, they were so nice & kind to me that I hanged out with this group during my freshman & junior year.

Second encounter: 2017; At my college, I use to work at my college cafeteria as a cook at this Asian section, there is always that one time frame where there is a rush and everyone and their mothers order orange chicken or noodles as such I had 10 to 15 tickets, I had the occasional prick who couldn't understand or just didn't care on why his/her food was taking forever, this goth orders and I told her its gonna take a bit dur to the tickets I had, she was so understanding and told me to take as much as you need, this goth girl had better manners and understood my situation rather the non-goths.

Granted there are some assholes who are goths but all my encounters with Goths has always been very good.

Maybe I'm overthinking it but I just had to share this.
