Teen Gothic

Much appreciated🦇

for the past couple months swr has been on repeat and i can’t seem to find any bands like them so please help😭

I go through this sometimes. I listen to the music, participate in everything that’s with the subculture/community, etc. I usually get called a poser at school because I listen to J-goth and other random reasons. but I listen to all the goth classics. Sometimes I think these things happen more often ever since the term “tik tok goth police” became a thing. Just a random thought. What are your thoughts and comments about this? (Hopefully this entire thing I type doesn’t confuse anyone I barely post on here)

mine is currently ‘buried alive’ by radio werewolf. what’s yours?

I'm not even sure if this is considered goth but I've been obsessed with the low-fi/ambient sound it has and would love to find more songs with the same qualities. Recs would be greatly appreciated 🙂

(Baby bat here) (I would even say a newborn baby bat)

I'm already a metalhead. I enjoy trash, groove, gothic, occult, doom, alternative, etc. On the rock scene, I like hard rock, psychedelic, blues, stoner and more. I have searched, and it appears that gothic metal, symphonic metal and occult rock aren't in the gothic subculture. I have been more interested in the goth scene because of aesthetics, books and movies, but of course, I also like the music. Until now, what I genuinely appreciated in goth music was post-punk. I really didn't like dark or cold waves. Likewise, am I goth, even just liking post-punk?

Edit: of all subreddits that I go to, the r/goth are the one were have the most kind ones!

A LOT of them just make posts to feed the delusions and fetishes of men.

Others just dance over goth music. I have no problems with dancing but too much is too much. I want to see other type of videos too.

I can tell when someone makes videos related to goth just for views and likes and others that really care.

For example I love diy videos

Some of these videos are so cringe that I want to stab my eyes.

I do not want to be misunderstood I love goth music and style is just that social media makes goth look more like something trendy. Like teenagers saying they are goth just to be cooland then do not even like the music.

I have this problem with instagram where it is full of influemcers dressing "goth". Just type goth in the search bar and see how many true goth outfits and how many sexualized outfits are there.

I want to see quality content, not the same dancing video with the same music in the background made by different influencers….

I've been more entertained by this sub and the other two goth style outfits subs than instagram
