Teen Gothic

I pretty much only wear band shirts and I’m surprised by how much people have complimented me on my Siouxsie shirts. It’s happened 4 times in the last year, it’s pretty cool!

Idk random post

but I was walking back from my friends house, and they live kind of near a lake with a forest. And I thought I’d turn on my playlist while walking, and this siousxie and the banshees song came on. It was one from kaleidoscope, I forgot what one it was now though. I’ll check later.

and when the song came on and the lake was near it was…I don’t know how to explain it without being cringey but it was fun, so idk try it some time

also I did a speech on goth music a while back for a school presentation, and though it got removed from moderators one person replied with some advice before it got deleted. If that persons wondering how it went it went really well! I actually managed to pass (though I didnt think I would, because asd and speeches aren’t the ideal combination). Honestly it was a choice between goth or metal (music subcultures are a huge interest of mine, and I have a lot memorised. Thats why I chose it. It was music or cats) but I went goth, and it turns out my teacher liked siousxie and the banshees, so I think I might have made the right choice.

idk why I’m posting this really. I think I’m just in a sentimental mood 🙂

One in an antique shop, the other in a box of random mixed vinyl at the check out table of Fantasyland Records.

I've only listened to (and liked) The Birthday Massacre, Molchat Doma, Bela Lugosi's Dead, Samhain, and I'm not sure if these last two count, but I also like HIM and Aurelio Voltaire. I really enjoyed all of these, although I've tried checking out deathrock and hated everything I've heard, so I guess I'll take the more post-punk/pop inspired sides of goth music. Also, I already know where to start with The Cure, but I'd love to know where to start with Nick Cave, cause I've heard he's good but never heard he was goth outside of this community. Feel free to recommend super well-known recs and obscure ones too!

TL;DR- Give me anything but deathrock.

It could be a product of my ADHD or just that I have little knowledge about certain things. I've been a part of the goth culture for quite a while, and sometimes in frustrates me to be unable to easily deduce between what's what.
