Teen Gothic

Start with "Prey" or "Ensavled"

Hello! I love in Hungary, I like alternative music, mostly goth, and recently I have went to an alternative music store to get patches. The thing is, they were selling some pretty offensive stuff, like iron crosses, confederation flags, like the slave owner flag, and like pins with a smiley of hitler. It was pretty messed up I think, a place calling itself punk should definitely not have anything like this in inventory.

The thing is, I wrote to them, asking why they sell that kind of stuff, and they just answered that people buy it, so they sell it. I also wrote a Google review saying that they have hate symbols, and they wrote back to me that I might just be too soft for a place like that. Can or should I do anything other than not returning? Have any of you faced similar situations? I want patches, but for now I will make my own ones.

Sisters is playing on my birthday this week at one of my favorite venues in town and it's a milestone – I'll be 40! They are one of my all time favorites and I've never seen them live, mostly due to not wanting to risk the disappointment. I know the rep they have when it comes to pretty lousy shows and I would hate to waste $ 150 on a bad show on a day I'll always remember. Have recent shows gotten any better???

I'd really like to do maybe a light daily makeup routine so I could use some recommendations! Thanks y'all!

Some of the nicest guitar work I have heard in the genre.

I was wondering if this would go over well? I did this at another concert and it went great but the band was very different than The Sisters Of Mercy. I've never seen them before so I don't know the vibe of the concert. I can't imagine anything terrible happening but I wouldn't want to be seen as annoying or anything like that.

Im a baby bat so I dont know too much about this besides killstar 🤷‍♂️

I recently started listening to a few bands with 1k-5k monthly and it made me wonder what counts as "underground" goth bands.

in another scene I'm part of, bands with 15k are considered kinda big (not really, but still not underground), but goth music has more listeners.

around where does a band start being considered "underground"? it's obviously not a specific point, but just an approximation.
