Teen Gothic

i hate going outside dressed the way i like. i usually don’t care what people think of the way i dress, i get plenty of looks and that’s what to be expected. everywhere i go, i either get people staring in awe or in complete disgust.

i hate being a goth because of pervs who fetishise goth women. the amount of times ive had old men come up to me on the streets blowing kisses, the amount of men who catcall me even when my boyfriend is with me, or some random drug addicts trying to follow me home. im only 18. i hate it. i hate feeling so unsafe whenever i leave my apartment.

the looks i get is starting to get to me, it makes me feel insecure. my boyfriend took me out on a nice date outdoors and there were girls around my age giving me the most disgusting looks ive ever seen in my life, looking back and giggling, pointing at me. why is my fashion sense an excuse for people to treat me like i don’t have feelings or as though im some prostitute?? this is just a vent, i’m just so tired and feel like crying every time i get approached on the street or followed home.

Thought this would be appropriate for the times! 🖤 Woke up with this playing in my head this morning. 🎶

Awesome show! I'm exhausted right now but very happy. This was a bucket list show for me.

I hate these weird creepy men that want a big tiddy "goth" girl and the girls that play into it for their onlyfans and they both go on to bash or be weirded out by goth things and give the community a bad name. I find it especially disgusting that these men seem to fetishize women with personality disorders who are completely dependent on them and have extreme kinks. It scares a lot of baby bats away and is making the community generally unsafe.

I get so uncomfortable when people men call me “goth bitch.” I don’t like being called “bitch” by men anyways and the fact that so many people just automatically refer to me as a goth bitch pisses me off. They automatically assume that I’m “freaky” like stop boiling me down to a gothic fuck toy. I’m not even interested in sex and it just makes me feel so icky. Anyone else feel like this?

Just looking for some super bitter and angry songs.Pretty much anything that gives off a feeling of being fed up and hating everything.

Had someone insist online that I wasn't a real goth because my friends tend to be more "basic", but I dont see a problem with it! I'm nice to them, their nice to me. I don't see the need for any complications.

Also- another dilemma, im against the insult "basic". I find it incredibly misogynistic and rude. Go ahead and scream at me in the comments, I wont care enough to acknowledge it. The point is, this person yelled at me and called me a "poser" for this.

If the answer to either of these questions is "yes", ill leave the goth community, no questions asked. Not out of anger– it just doesn't fit me.

As I just said in a comment:

Gotta laugh at this ridiculous quote, though:

Also, these things go in cycles, but it's noticeable that we're getting a lot of respect and love from, particularly, the metal community at the moment, so our currency is strong. It seems to be cool to like The Sisters at the moment.

Metal. Because TSoM is a renowned metal band. He's how old, and he still has a grudge against the goth subculture? I wonder why he's butthurt. Did a gorgeous goth lady piss in his cereal the morning after a one-night stand? I'm amused and annoyed. Show your fans some goddamned appreciation, because without us, you're nobody.

Any thoughts? I'm a Sisters fan, but his stubborn pettiness knocks his respectability down several notches.

I am generally punk by style and taste but I wear a ton of black and listen to some goth music and my friends started telling me that's too goth and that punks and goths don't mix. I don't really care what they think but is this actually a thing
