Teen Gothic

I’ve been into the scene for quite some time but the closest thing I got to a goth scene is two hours away, and I unfortunately can’t do the travel to join in events. It’s time related with work. I mostly work mornings so I have to sleep at night but sometimes I work closing and I don’t feel like doing much after my shift, especially driving a four hour round trip in a night.

Underground events don’t really happen where I live and the closest thing I have to a goth night is a emo night. The only goth friends I have are all online in different states and countries. I guess I’m just having a lot of FOMO and jealousy from people who live near ‘big’ goth scenes.

I’m still very new to the very idea of Goth but I’ve loved the music for a long time. How can I find hang out spots nearby? I look up goth clubs but they’re always on the other side of the state or country I’m in (I travel a lot for my career path – live in Boston currently in Naples, Italy). Any tips?

Hi! We're "Our Visit To The Moon", a really new and unknown gloomy post-punk band consisting of five members from near Giessen in Germany, north of Frankfurt/Main!

Our first single "Blurry" was released last Thursday (Aug. 31st) almost everywhere 😁! You can listen to it at https://linktr.ee/ov2tm

Feel free to blast it loud, share it and add it to your playlists! 😎

There you can also find social media, Bandcamp and mail links.

Here's footage from our first gig. The song is called "Definition of Fun": https://youtu.be/OdMUg2vFj9s?si=iQ4qoZN3mZe4bC_2

Our Visit To The Moon (short OV2TM) are: Karol Oskar (me) – vocals and bass, Consti – keys/synths and backing-vocals, Martin – rhythm-guitar and backing-vocals, Felix – Lead-guitar, Sebastian – Drums

Our biggest musical influences at this point are The Chameleons, Pink Turns Blue, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Killing Joke, as well as Iggy Pop and the Stooges, old-school punk, post-punk and new-wave/Neue Deutsche Welle (soundwise) in general, Interpol, The Editors and maybe bands you don't expect such as Queens of The Stone Age, Kyuss and Brant Bjork's projects.

At the moment we're working on our second single, planning concerts for the fall and winter in our Hesse region and a band photo-shoot 😂.

We're excited to read from you and maybe one day we'll meet at a show? That'd be awesome!

Hello there.

​

Any Goth from Romania and, especially, Bucharest, on this subreddit? Perhaps, if you here, you could tell us about an event happening that I do not know about. The last one in Bucharest I could not attend was back in January, as far as I remember.

​

Also, if there are some elder Goths from Romania in here, I would be really interested to know if there was any kind of Goth scene in Romania during the 1980ies, before the 1989 anti-communist revolution. I know there was a clear Punk scene in Bucharest, but little to no information regarding Goth. If there was something, anything at all, I would be really grateful to know how it was with as much details as possible

I want to become more connected with an irl community, but it can be a bit hard to find anything in this part of the country sometimes.. Any help from someone with experience would be appreciated!
