Teen Gothic

i need more black artists that sound like bauhaus , this cold night , joy division..etc. i would like to see more black movie directors and black leads in movies like nosferatu , crimson peak , and frankenstein. i would like to see more vampy, occultic, victorian gothic people that are black in general.

i feel so disconnected from my black peers and my goth peers and im tired of feeling like an “oreo” because it feels like the only people that make media and music that fits my interest are white people. i know that there has to be more representation but it it really hard to find 😞

i am not a self-hating black person nor do i “wish to be white”, i just need to see more black people that find my niche.

Was just thinking about this in the moment. There are these songs I find amazing, but the bands never did anything else remotely like them. It's hard to do that repeatedly. It's not necessarily because the lack the talent, just never did anything similar. Leaves such a yearning for what will never be.

The one's I'm thinking about right now are The Last Song by Trisomie 21(I like this version best, nothing to do with the dancing people), Not What I Expected by Crispy Ambulance, Shaving My Neck by Gene Love Jezebel, and Man of Straw by Sad Lovers and Giants.
