Teen Gothic

But seeing frontside. There was no cape too. The band had disbanded few years ago. The music was soooo good, but I can remember the name

Baby bat in need of help. So I’m going to visit my parents in Virginia. They live in the Alexandria/DC area. Anyone know any fun or cool spots in the that area? I’m talking like sightseeing, cool shops, events in the next few months, clubs, general stuff like that.

I've been obsessed with Ascension lately, was hoping to find more bands/albums like it. Especially those similar in vocals. Thanks!

Main point: please show me some early 2000’s goth culture things like videos, music, animations, and really anything iconic from that era.

Context: I’m a baby bat. Been into goth stuff pretty much all my life cuz of my mom (who is not goth). I’d just never identified with it till a few months ago because I’d never looked into it before then. Anyway I was just wondering if there was like a big goth presence in the early 2000’s. If I’m not mistaken, I probably am, it seems to be “mall goth” I think. And I wanted to ask for any pieces of goth nostalgia from the early 2000s.

I'm new to gothic music but I really like xmal Deutschland. Can anyone reccomend me artists that make similar music? Would really appreciate it C:

basically some sort of catalog for all goth bands, ever.

There's a goth mutual on social media who's talking about identifying as an outcast. Given that the vast majority of participants in this sub aren't neurotypical (thread: Neurodivergence in the goth subculture), she's not the only one. My questions to you:

1) Do you see yourself as an outsider?

2) How old are you (roughly)?

3) Has the goth subculture become a home for you? In what ways?

4) Bonus question: Are there any specific goth bands/artists who were there for you during rough times?

I could write a book on this topic. I don't want to dominate the discussion, so I'll quickly give you a brief answer:

1) Yes.

2) Mid-30s. (Still an outsider.)

3) Oh god, where to start. I appreciate the acceptance of weirdness not just among goths, but also in the music we adore. (Andi Sexgang and Ausgang recently followed me back on Twitter!) And the snark. "There are no rotating ankhs in this webpage divider."

4) Nick Cave's music carried through every major life transition, including major depression and school stress. Of all the concerts I've attended, his are always by far the most riveting. It's a nigh-spiritual experience.

How about you? Feel free to keep it short if you like.
