Teen Gothic

I am curious as I know a few gothic bands yet suggested to me by my friend. I wanna discover more.

So I see a lot of things that are not goth being called goth (emo, metal, general non-denominational alternative, etc) and not a lot of goth things being called emo, metal, etc.

As far as I can tell, no one calls Bauhaus a metal or emo band. No one calls them industrial. It seems to me, things get mistaken for goth but not vice versa. In terms of sheer numbers I'm pretty sure there are more metalheads than goths, and I'm pretty sure most people know what metal is (though the subgenres cause many outsiders confusion). Emo is a younger subculture, and so I think has less name recognition, but yeah.

This is a completely idle question with no practical importance, but it's weird, right? So do we have any clue why that is?

I want to get many people involved such as bands, artists, small businesses, babybats, elder goths, just anyone with an appreciation for goth involved. Things such as interviews, fashion discussion, monthly releases and music reviews, concert photography and art, and general discussion about the subculture throughout the years will be present. I am only 18 and from California so I would need assistance from fellow goths of all ages, locations, and identities in order to represent the goth community as completely as I can. Much help is appreciated !
