Teen Gothic

What if someone likes new age goth music, but only a few songs here and there from older goth bands? Would they still be considered goth?

So I'm interested in making a darkwave solo project, and I would like to incorporate a lot of synth into it since that's such a big aspect of the genre, however I don't know very much about synths so I was wondering if anyone had some basic recommendations/guidelines as for what type of synth works best for this genre, be that software recs or suggestions for a specific model of analog or whatever.

Also if this isn't the right space to ask about this and anyone has a different sub they'd like to direct me towards feel free.

I've been to bar sinister a couple of times and didn't like it too much. I have heard of das bunker but can't tell if it's even open anymore. anyone have any recommendations? I'll be there for a full week so hoping at least one day will be a decent goth night.

This person was insulting people and calling them Trolls. I replied to their comment which had nothing to do with anything goth.

They decided to try and insult me for being goth 😑 It was such a ridiculous comment. I Didn't even know how I should reply. I replied anyway.

Honestly their tolling was so stupid it made me laugh, bit if I were a younger goth I might have been actually offended. I shared this with a friend because recently talking about situations like this, but I figured I would share it on here because it seemed relevant to recent posts.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything but I don't even state I am goth on my personal Instagram, I also don't state my age. The only thing on it was 1 picture where a friend and I found a sticker outside a gay bar that said Texas Goth and we had to take a picture by it.

From an outsider perspective it can become quite difficult for me to explain myself.

While it’s not my responsibility explaining myself like a broken record playing the same songs on loop, it’s genuinely exhausting dealing with various misunderstandings.

I’m a quiet person for a reason I won’t go into. Unwanted eyes and unwanted thoughts from unwanted people disgust me when I’m trying to express myself in my most comforting way possible.

I’m not a fetish (as gorgeous as I look), I’m not a demon (as cool as horns look on me) nor am I a lunatic (just weird), I merely love expressing myself given I never had that opportunity to previously due to private stuff.

Given the double edged sword of expression, it can easily be lost in translation.

TLDR: How do you humans and more handle being misinterpreted?
