Teen Gothic

I’ve always had this problem & I’m not sure what to do anymore. There are very few goths in our country & I’m desperate for a party buddy, my fav gigs are coming up soon and I have no one to go with

One in an antique shop, the other in a box of random mixed vinyl at the check out table of Fantasyland Records.

How can you find goth friends if there is zero alternative people at your school and you’re too young to go to shows by yourself? Do I like message people online and start chatting and potentially meet up (with taking safety into account and all), but how do I specifically find people in my city? I am from quite a big city with an existing goth scene so I’m sure there’s definitely people around my age out there.

i really want to make some goth friends but i don’t know where to look for them as im only 17 (so cant go to goth clubs). does anyone have any advice?

So i mainly listen to metal particularly the sludgy shit (eyehategod, dystopia, crowbar ect…) but i have recently been on a goth spiral and wanted to find music with some common ground. But i have a problem, you would think goth metal would be my answer but no. I fkn love type 0 they are my favorite band, but they are not really goth in the post punk sense and i have not found any other bands in the "goth" metal genre that are not –in my opinion– symphonic shite or type 0 rip offs. So if any one could point me in the right direction, if there is one, that would be amazing thanks. and if there is not id better get on that gap in the market.

i know this doesn't directly relate to post punk/goth music but i need more goth than goth metal sorry

also if i am completely wrong about something i am a goth foetus and am not educated so educate me 🙂

[edit] i know ton is not goth i am not looking for that

i cannot for the life remember what it’s called but i need to find it: all i remember is the lyrics ‘in excelsis deo’ and i remember it sounding like something mors syphlitica would write/ sounds like. i know this is a stupid post but i can’t really go into a non goth subreddit and expect anything less than christmas carols

Does anyone remember the goth band The Shroud? Well before they were called that they called themselves The Shroudettes. They only released 2 albums as The Shroudettes. The live album they made called All Hallows Eve can be found on YouTube but there first album Victimized is extremely hard to find. Does anyone out there know where I can the album Victimized? If anyone wants to check out the live album you can find it here. All Hallows Eve

Hey so I may end up having to DJ a gig tonight, it's an 80s goth/dark wave thing but I'm way more familiar with bands from the 90s..

So far I've got *Clan of Xymox *Fields of The Nephilim *Skeletal Family *Specimen *Sex Gang Children *Play Dead *Xmal Deutschland *Red Lorry Yellow Lorry *The Bolshoi *45 Grave *Christian Death *Bauhaus *and Siouxsie

This is super last min as the other DJs got covid and I'm not super qualified so I'm hoping they're lenient and let me use albums from 90-93 at least lol Any suggestions are helpful! What would you want to hear at a gig?
