Teen Gothic

I plan on making the super part a bit thinner and add some details inspired by this visual

I'm going to my first Goth show on Halloween, I REALLY want to go dressed up as a hotdog. What's the likely hood of me getting kicked out?

I've listened to Joy Divisions first album a few times because i assumed they were widely considered the first goth rock band, the Ramones of goth essentially. Only to now find out they're considered a proto-goth band apparently, the mc5 of goth if we're sticking with the punk rock allegory.

So what band then is considered the first 100% goth band. Not proto-goth, not an inspiration for goth, genuine goth music

Hi all, I will be seeing Twin Tribes next week and I am really excited! But I've never gone to a goth event before, so I am a little nervous. Is there anything I should know/ be prepared for? I don't want to seem out of place, I'm still fairly new to the scene.

Thanks! <3

Hi, I've been researching the subculture for a while now and one thing that I'm constantly getting confused about and that cause me a headaches is drawing a line when it comes to early goth bands. If we exclude the American deathrock scene, I know there's positive punk and post punk goth bands but also there are bands that are apparently just darker sounding post punk bands which people don't consider as goth and there's exactly where I'm having troubles with. Below I listed bands that I find confusing so if you guys can help me tell me which of those is goth and which isn't I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

tomorrow i'm going to see Sisters of Mercy, She Past Away and other bands live in Athens. I feel so lucky they came in my Country just when I started listening to them, but it's my first time going alone in a concert/festival and i'm a bit anxious to be honest but so excited! It's also going to be 45°C tommorow in Athens. A hell of a night, it's gonna be🖤. do u go to concerts/festivals alone?
