Teen Gothic

No clue if this is even considered goth but I wanna be so this is a baby step for me. Advice and tips are very much welcome. ૮₍ ˶• ༝ •˶ ₎ა

Didn’t expect the clothing. Looks sick. What do ya’ll think?

Desmond Doom is a post-punk artist describing his sound as “if Joy Division and The Smiths started a band in Eastern Europe.”

He’s just released his new EP “LO-FI GOTH” — check it out, and he has a lot of other post-punk content in his YouTube channel such as tutorials and cheeky pastiches of famous bands.

I wouldn’t consider myself goth. Just someone with a jaded/dark soul. You all have excellent taste in music! Damn. I’ve gotten some wicked songs that are a must on my playlist thanks to this sub.

Looking for slower songs that give a dreary mood. If the lyrics are depressing and but the instruments are upbeat and energetic it's not what I'm looking for

It’s on Spotify too. And yes, it’s awesome.

I'm sharing it here because it seems related even though the sub is talking about the music.

There is something about self-expression that is super hard if you have social anxiety or if you grew up in a conservative home.

Even years before I got into the goth scene as a young girl I was very anxious to stand out or look strange especially from where I come from.

The thing is that I wanted to stand out but my social anxiety together with the conservative and primitive home I come from I couldn't.

I still look at goths and say "one day I can look like that without caring what everyone or my family says".

I'm also not a social person so it's much harder to find "people like you".

So how many of you had this problem and overcame it ?
