Teen Gothic

Hi, I'm hoping some of you might be interested in checking out this new sub. I've met too many people from underground/alt countercultures in sobriety spaces that didn't have a place to express their cultural identity really openly. I wanted to try and create that space here on reddit. We don't follow any particular philosophy of sobriety, and put harm reduction above binary, black and white approaches. If you're sober or just curious, why not come and check us out? Thanks for reading this.

Oh the drama was real. Especially in the southwest states and Latin America.

I remember the emo kids getting their asses kicked by the metalheads on the daily, especially at concerts, where there was an emo/screamo band and metal band playing.

I recently watched that episode of South Park where the goth kids are frustrated at being mistaken for emos..

Like we were arch enemies or something.

I think they got it wrong there. I always thought emos and goths kinda lived in the same social bubble.

The emos ensured a huge backlash though that I don’t ever remember going through in the goth scene.

In Latin America, emos were literally being murdered in the streets. And in most of the southern, southwest states in the US, emos were scene as pussies and… damn it was like what’s going on these days with the trans backlash almost. Not nearly as publicized though.

Ramble over.
