Teen Gothic

I want to understand the subculture and what it means to be goth I know I have to listen to the music but I remember seeing somewhere there's an ideology to it aswell? I also might want to try and start dressing goth not sure I know that's not needed to be goth but it's for funsies, I love the whole "alt" (in quotation marks cuz not sure if I'll get attacked for it or not) fashion from emo to punk etc I would also like music suggestions but I could also just scroll through the subreddit

The cassette is a compilation album from 1990 celebrating Elektra Records' 40th anniversary. This specific Cure cover can also be found on their album Join the Dots: B-Sides and Rarities, 1978-2001 (The Fiction Years) Please let me know if I should use a different flair. Didn't know what fit best

First come, first served. Reply here, I will private message for contact info for DICE ticket transfer.

My partner and I have both dreamed of opening a cafe type business, and both of us had a similar experience of growing up in the scene but not having a place to hangout other then malls. Even now as adults we don’t really go to nightclubs, and there aren’t many quiet places to be part of the scene and hangout for people with sensory issues or who aren’t allowed in the clubs or bars. We were considering a goth themed cafe where people could come and be a part of the scene in a calmer atmosphere. But this would only be possible if people were actually interested, otherwise it wouldn’t exactly be successful. Would the Chicago scene be interested in a place like that?

Just of of curiosity! Was it the music, fashion or other lifestyle aspects that drew you in? Or anything?

I don't know if this post sounds strange, I hope not I'm a woman in my early 30s, have been part of the subculture since I was 16 but unfortunately, due to depression and other mental health problems that got worse when I was 19 I completely isolated myself and now I have no one. I was wondering if any European goths or from anywhere else ( I'm in Portugal) would like to chat and try to be friends. I'm trying to break free from this depression but it's hard when you have no one to talk and share your interests with.
