Teen Gothic

I just got invited to a "goth baddies assemble" group on Instagram and the contents sickened me. What I didn't show here that was also in the chat was clip art of sexual acts. All from the people you see in the screenshots. It was disgusting to see, and infuriating. The constant fetishization of the subculture pisses me off on a daily damn occurrence. I reported the chat itself and the people, but I of course doubt that IG will even do a damn thing. I felt the need, amidst my agitation lmao, to come to reddit to vent about it and use it as an opportunity for discussion on how you as individuals feel about this constant issue and what you do to prevail over this and any experiences you've had related to being sexualized and objectified without your consent, when just trying to exist and mind your business.

(And if any of yall feel the desire to seek out that scum and mass report them, that would just be sweet, sweet justice 🤭 but that's just a bonus lol)

Probably posted before…and still funny & on point.

They're two of my favorite bands in the scene, and I wanted to know if anyone else here also likes them. I also just wanted to give them a mention because they were among the first bands I took a liking to as I was getting into goth music. My favorite song by Ghost Dance is A Deeper Blue and my fav by And Also the Trees is Slow Pulse Boy.

If you know of any goth bands with US and Canadian Indigenous members comment below! If you would like to hear more from our Latin American cousins I recommend Goth Music Latin America

What’s up everyone I’m somewhat new to the goth community. I need more bands to listen to like

Sanguis et cinis: preferably like their album Wie der unberurte Traum Jungfrau even though I can’t really understand what they’re saying.

Elysium: not the metal band. look up Soledad by them and you’ll see what I’m talking about

Lycia: specifically their album Ionia. I like it because of how processed and dark it sounds and maybe I might find another band like this album.

I was so nervous writing this

I think there should be a rule blocking those type of posts here, and there should be a subreddit called something like r/newtogoth. That subreddit could be for people who are new to goth (baby bats) only, and could be for asking questions and learning.
