Teen Gothic

My first dedicated goth look as a new member in the community (to go see the Backrooms movie yayyyy Kane pixels!!!)

Question for you all:
Goth is music based, but not entirely music — what else do you believe makes Goth what it is?
I heard a take I really liked that said it's also an outlook. To be goth is to embrace the strange and morbid and taboo, to be weird and to love that you are.

p.s., just joined this subreddit so I'm still getting familiar with the rules. trying my best to follow them, but please point me in the right direction if I'm doing something wrong!

"your master is calling" is a great song to dance to, but "the first" is easily my favourite song off of Meta. i love how atmospheric and heavy it feels, the steady bassline in particular really holds everything together.

if anyone has recommendations for songs or bands with a similar sound, i'd love to hear!!

Tell me what you think!

Off out to our local 80s goth and alt night for the first time in months! There's a Sisters of Mercy tribute act playing in the same city so I'm expecting numbers to be down. I'm on my own which makes me feel a bit more self-conscious in a small crowd but it'll be good to hear some decent music. I'm really old so I want to say to young people in this sub, don't feel bad about feeling self-conscious as it can even affect otherwise confident older people too.

I'm going to use white thread. I've found that my regular sewing needles work better than my cheap leather needles, but we'll see how they hold up. Still 20 bands to add to the front and sleeves.

hey all! so this is my first battle jacket, idk if it countd as a battle or punk jacket but Idk if its good or not, I made some myself and I wanna get more but I am trying to do one side as goth and such and the other as metal or heavier bands I like, is it any good?

imma add more spikes and thinking of sewing webs on but unsure. I dont remember where I got the jacket but the wear and tesr on it was already there, I was thinking of moving thr paw patch to the centre back and adding a anti nazi patch I made and an anarchy one but I've seen a lot of baddle jacket stuff so I'm overthinking my jacket a bit.

by the way, if anyone can tell me: how rare is this CD? i tried looking it up online, and found a few results, but not a lot and most were secondhand listings. this was pressed (and seemingly distributed) in France; i live in the United States.
