Teen Gothic

I was feeling nostalgic this week. Recently inherited a record player. So I dusted off my record collection. These go back to the 80's. I can't believe I kept them all these years. I have many more. Can't wait to rediscover a few gems.

Most are priced at $ 6.98 purchased at Wax Trax in Denver.

I also included a pic of the leather jacket I wore back in the day. Peter Murphy signed it as he got off his bus. A few of us hit up an art supply store and waited in the alley behind the Paramount Theater. Paint pen was a great idea a few of the girls got their purses signed.

Yes, I tripped out several times on that ASF record art. I miss that about music. The art on the album cover was always awesome.

Those were the days.

On Wednesday night my girlfriend Jill and I saw Missing and The Chameleons at the Oriental Theater in Denver. I had fun shooting photos, seeing friends, dancing, and enjoying the night with my favorite person. Towards the end of the show, Mark from The Chameleons jumped off the stage and climbed up onto the security railing right in front of us, which I shot two of my new favorite photos of (I'll post those eventually). After the final song, I heard the woman who was standing next to us asking someone on stage for the setlist. Our friends gathered around my camera to check out my photos – they were in a few so I wanted to share. When I eventually turned back around I saw Jill holding that setlist. For whatever reason, the woman who originally got it randomly gave it to her without either of us asking for it. The paper now lives on in my binder of similar items. Someday I'll scan and upload all the flyers, setlists, etc., from my personal collection of things from the many events I've gone to during my life. Huge thank you to that random woman who parted ways with this simple piece of music history – a simple gesture that we'll never forget.

i come on this sub to find music recs, hear about people's concert experiences, and see cool diys. but lately i swear every post i click on mentions tiktok, which is the exact topic i'm trying to avoid when i come onto reddit because i already hear so much about it on instagram. we get it now, people on tiktok have no idea what they're talking about. can we please just all collectively agree to stop posting these annoying questions trying to clarify whether information you found on the clock app is correct when you already know the answer? thanks.

just wanted to share as I love this poster and my aunt gave me it along with a bunch of other posters she had collected from that time

I’ve always been in love with the goth subculture from my early teens, I just never did a deep dive into it, I’ve listened to some of the music back then but had never fully explored it to its fullest potential. Now I’m in my late teens and I’ve done a full deep dive into the music, listening to sad lovers and giants, suspiria, Rosetta Stone, low life, xmal deutschland, clan of xymox, o. Children, the chameleons, little Nemo, and so so so much more not including the bands I already listened too. I know I’m listening to the right music, as well as some goth adjacent music mixed in with the run of the mill goth music. I already know how to dress goth. I know a good amount about the subculture, but I can’t help but feel like I’m a poser, I keep checking my playlist to make sure I’m listening to the correct music even though I know I am. I feel confident within this subculture but am having a hard time fully becoming flourished in it due to me feeling as if I’m a poser. How do I overcome this? I don’t feel goth enough!!

In the last chapter of The Ticket That Exploded. It is my third read of the trilogy and I am not sure how the association escaped me before!!

I just found out about the The Sisters of Mercy – Lucretia My Reflection some months ago and I can't get it out of my mind.

I was shooked to notice how much this person (on the first pic attached) is similar looking to my mom (on the second pic attached). Even more so when you see my mom in real life.

That's an odd question but can anyone help me find out who is this person?
