Teen Gothic

I went to the Oddities and Curiosities Expo in Atlanta today and there are so many of us! There has to be places and things to do that I’m just not hearing about.

I know the Masquerade exists, but their Goth Industrial Nights feel more like… industrial than goth and vibrates my bones out of my ears.

Little Five points is still there and the Vortex is great(though sometimes overrun by tourists it feels like), but it’s really just two clothing stores, a place to eat, and a record shop. And not to name names, but one of those clothing stores shrunk their plus-sized section down to one rack.

We moved here from a different state two years ago, and this is all me and my husband have found, so if anyone knows where a goth girl can fit in, let me know 🙏🏻

I recently made a video on James O'Barr graphic novel The Crow. I also analyze the 1994 Crow film starring the late Brandon Lee. An interesting fact I learned while researching the crow was what a huge influence the film had on goth culture. Especially for the clothing and music. If you guys want to check the video out here you go. https://youtu.be/Dn956UY7DOM
