Teen Gothic

I want to purchase more handmade gothic clothing. Been kind of lazy to make my own stuff now and a lot of these “gothic” clothing store have been making clothes that just aren’t quite right.

Not really a rant. But yesterday one of the lunch ladies at my school asked if I was gothic or just dressed like that, how she put it really caught me off guard. The other lunch ppl were listening in and I just kind of felt like I was put on the spot? After that she said its a nice style and I just said thank you and carried on, probably offended her by not answering but I just didn't feel like explaining myself? Idk. Just sharing an experience. I'm not comfortable expressing that I'm goth to strangers, or people who I feel like just wouldn't get it. I get complimented a lot and don't mind people expressing that they like my outfit but I don't feel like I owe anyone an explanation and refuse to give them one as I have done so in the past and when I think back on it I find it kind of humiliating.

A more in-depth look at the usual “What’s your favorite X?”

I’d like to know what exactly makes you like the culture’s music. Is it the subtle -yet protagonistic- bass of many songs? The danceable snare beats? The gloomy atmosphere? Let me know!

Bonus 1: What elements make your favorite albums stand out from the rest?

Bonus 2: Nothing is perfect. What elements or trends in goth music do you dislike?

So I dipped my toes into the pool of goth music with twin tribes and I absolutely ADORE their music. However, I am having trouble finding music like it. Does anyone have any suggestions or information on how I could find more music like this myself? Again I'm VERY new to goth music so if you think any info you have is too obvious it's probably not. Thank you!! 🙂
