Teen Gothic

for all who went, how long was your show + the opening? just wondering when so we can calculate the time to get picked up afterwards (:

(hope that’s the right flair lol)

I’ve heard a lot lately about like, appropriating goth stuff and posers and stuff, so I have a question:

Is it ok to incorporate traditionally “goth” elements into my fashion if I don’t really claim to be goth and don’t listen to goth music that much? I primarily listen to emo/punk, art rock and metal with a bit of goth here and there, but I wear tons of clothes and makeup that make most people call me gothic/goth.

I’ve always wanted to just go for a darker, more “refined” emo style and never claim to be goth, but like, a few actual goths I know have been talking a lot about “aesthetic-ization” or whatever of goth and I’m kinda worried I’m doing that

Genuine Question – Cemeteries

Hi all, I’m getting back to my goth roots, and am a baby bat. I wanted to ask the community, what your thoughts are on cemetery walks/photo shoots?

I found a beautiful picture of an influencer on Instagram, that sparked this question. As you can see, it looks like she’s laying on top of the grave? Am I wrong for thinking that’s disrespectful – beautiful makeup & aesthetics aside. I genuinely am not trying to bash this person. Please let me know if I am violating rule #5. If I am I’m sorry.

Hey everyone, I have a problem understanding these lines since I am not a native English speaker:

To breathe deep/Breathe long and hard/To take the water down and go to sleep/To sink still further

I can translate it into Turkish but i can not say that I get what is meant. Please help me, thank you!

Are bands like Twin Tribes, She Passed Away and Molchat Doma considered Goth? I always thought they were, but someone told me that if early 00's goths would hear me say that they would punch me in the throat.

Does it bother you that goths get fetishised so much? It genuinely bothers me like I want to dress the way I do for myself, not for anyone else and I definitely do not want to be cat called when I go out because I’m a goth and fetishised

The “Am I Goth?” Or the “Is this Goth?” Question.

These people at my school keep calling me “emo” and it fucking pisses me of but isn’t that just cultural discrimination? Someone please tell if I’m right on this one so that I can do something about it.

Last weekend i was going trough my older music library and came across old Cinema Strange albums. Tried to see if they were in spotify, and only found one of their songs in some random collection album. Googled around, but didn't really find anything, as if they suddenly just stopped without any reason sometime around 2006. So anyone here know what/why and if they still exist in some form today? Just curious, because used to listen to them almost daily back in the beginning of 2000s.

Hello! I'm quite new to the goth community. I've been listening to some bands like London After Midnight, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Depeche Mode.

I wanted to ask if the following bands could be considered goth:

• Sidewalks and Skeletons • Ludovico Technique • Night Club

All of them seem to have darkwave as one of their genres (going by google) but I'm not quite sure.
