Teen Gothic

i wish there were more family friendly, non alcoholic goth events during the day time. im not fond of public drinking, and especially at night (being a woman in an unsafe area, its a terrible idea, but even if it was safe, im still against it), so meeting goths is impossible

i dont even want to make close friends, i just want to be around people who share my music taste for a few hours and just casually talk

the city were i live used to hold a goth picnic in 2016/2018 but we dont have any events anymore, outside of bars/clubs and emonite. its unfortunate that regular events arent a common thing

we need more goth fairs like how they have steampunk ones! come on!

on to concerts, im scared of them because most free ones are held around, well, bars, and serve alcohol. i wouldnt feel safe, and moshpits would kill my back, since i have several back problems

I'm waiting outside The Cure's show in Seattle as I type. It's a pretty eclectic grouping, but it does make my dark little heart swell with pride to see all the baby bats here, many accompanying their GenX tradgoth parents. Our subculture's future is in good hands.

does it exist

I’m asking because I find it very interesting that we tend to see punks in metal bands and Vice versa, but I can’t think of many bands that are outside the genre with goth members. Is it uncommon or am I not digging deep enough?

(Also sorry if this doesn’t make a ton of sense I’m tired)
