Teen Gothic

So Friday is senior prank day at my high school, and my idea is to hang up goth memes around my chemistry teacher’s classroom.

He’s my absolute favorite teacher and we share the same music taste. His favorite band in particular is Joy Division.

For context, I live on a tiny island, and it’s damn near impossible to find someone even remotely interested in a less conventional subculture. Finding someone who’s into good music on this island is an unbelievable rarity… and it’s my chemistry teacher, of all people. So because of this I think he’d appreciate a “prank” like this.

Of course, because he’s a chemistry teacher, I wanted the memes to be chemistry related. But I can’t find any online so I need help thinking of some!! U don’t need to know a lot about chemistry or anything, it can be stuff like puns abt the periodic table in relation to a goth band (especially Joy division)

This a wild request and ik it’s super random, sorry 😭 but any ideas would be appreciated cuz I got nothing

Hi there,

My daughter is nine years old and recently told me she is tired of dressing like a little girl.

She has always gravitated towards goth stuff and asked for it. I want to take her shopping for stuff so she can define her own style but I don't know where to start. I'm not involved with this culture at all and am pretty ignorant.

I know there is more to being g goth than just how you dress. But I was hoping someone could point me on the right direction so my daughter can express herself better.

I'm in Albuquerque, NM. Are there stores you guys shop at where she can browse?

Thank you!

Searched everywhere and can’t find lyrics for nearly the whole of the Tragedia Nosferata album so decided to start trying to transcribe it. Started with Taste of Night and fairly confident we got everything correct but wondering if anyone else has already done this? What are your thoughts does it sound correct or got any suggestions/corrections? https://youtu.be/oZUXKF-svAo?feature=shared

I “dress” goth for work why the fuck not, right? Well, I need help learning how to UNtease my hair without (what feels like) losing half of my hair! I have super super long hair (down to my butt) so it takes a LOT of teasing to do for my hair, but brushing it out and washing it hurts so much and my hands end up sore. Is there a safe way to do this? Is my hair just too long?

I know how stupid this post is but here it goes. I've always been into the alternative music scene but have been getting into goth music and events for just the past two years. The thing is, I'm used to moshing cause of the type of shows I have always gone to, but I'm totally lost at the goth club and very socially awkward. Bottom line is, how can I learn to dance to this type of music? Or do people even care if you look ridiculous doing it? I feel like I can usually go with the flow but I can't help the fact that I'm a horrible dancer…

Edit: thx for the replies! I guess I found out my issue is just being perceived lol

But seeing frontside. There was no cape too. The band had disbanded few years ago. The music was soooo good, but I can remember the name

So i mainly listen to metal particularly the sludgy shit (eyehategod, dystopia, crowbar ect…) but i have recently been on a goth spiral and wanted to find music with some common ground. But i have a problem, you would think goth metal would be my answer but no. I fkn love type 0 they are my favorite band, but they are not really goth in the post punk sense and i have not found any other bands in the "goth" metal genre that are not –in my opinion– symphonic shite or type 0 rip offs. So if any one could point me in the right direction, if there is one, that would be amazing thanks. and if there is not id better get on that gap in the market.

i know this doesn't directly relate to post punk/goth music but i need more goth than goth metal sorry

also if i am completely wrong about something i am a goth foetus and am not educated so educate me 🙂

[edit] i know ton is not goth i am not looking for that
