Teen Gothic

Before i became involved in the alternative community, I shopped at brands like hot topic and amazon for clothes. Since joining the community, I realize the error in buying fast fashion, especially from such places. I don't want to throw away my old clothes, even if they are fast fashion, but they simply don't look good in an outfit. They have that cheap, sanitized tacky look that all "alt" brand clothes have. I've already used a few t-shirts for fabric in DIY projects, but I would like to keep wearing some because I don't own many clothes. Any ideas on how to make them look better?​

Anyone got some recs for dancing/gym? Some examples of song speed/energy im looking for are This Corrosion, Bela Lugosi's Dead, Shadow Dance, Temple of Love, and most songs by Aurelio Voltaire 🙂 ty!

Yeah I was just looking for bands that play adrenaline-ridden, reverb-flooded goth punk or deathrock. Something akin to Funeral Parade (the 2010 band, not the Part 1 album) or Catholic Spit. The G-Beat section on Bandcamp has some solid bands (Crvel and False Figure come to mind).

So, I was wondering if you guys had anything like that. I’m craving hardcore goth.

I'm sitting here at Starbucks ( dont laugh had to take sister to an interview ) so figured I'd be a little active here and post. I want to aim and help young/old newcomers as I myself am still growing more into this community for 5 years.

I can't tell people what to do with their money but I feel much better not buying from killstar, save my money AND support etsy shop owners. I had my GREAT disdain from dolls kill taking my money! Found out about kreepsville…yuck.

It feels refreshing knowing I bought from some one else in a resale shop instead of it trashed. I hear a lot of shade at fast fashion.

I know killstar makes nice shoes but I fear the quality is dog shart and I really feel more triumph when I find a cute pair of buckle shoes at ROSS for $ 20. Hell I got two jackets from the men's section I will add design and patches too.

I won't dump my few killstar items but honestly I really don't want to support fast fashion and learn to sew/stitch. You can do many wonders with basic black clothing.

If many of you know madame absinthe I really plan on getting in touch with her for a personal custom dress!

I DO want to hear the tea about killstar though.
