Teen Gothic

This is very exciting. I’ve never thought she would play a show in the states.

I just got invited to a "goth baddies assemble" group on Instagram and the contents sickened me. What I didn't show here that was also in the chat was clip art of sexual acts. All from the people you see in the screenshots. It was disgusting to see, and infuriating. The constant fetishization of the subculture pisses me off on a daily damn occurrence. I reported the chat itself and the people, but I of course doubt that IG will even do a damn thing. I felt the need, amidst my agitation lmao, to come to reddit to vent about it and use it as an opportunity for discussion on how you as individuals feel about this constant issue and what you do to prevail over this and any experiences you've had related to being sexualized and objectified without your consent, when just trying to exist and mind your business.

(And if any of yall feel the desire to seek out that scum and mass report them, that would just be sweet, sweet justice 🤭 but that's just a bonus lol)

This is the first jacket I've dared to paint by hand, and I'm quite happy with how it's turning out (IGNORING THE FIVE TEETH ON TOP AND BOTTOM, OH MY GOD, HOW COULD I HAVE MADE SUCH A MISTAKE). But I've been thinking that maybe it needs something more for a more '80s aesthetic. Perhaps more bands from that era? I'm not sure. What do you think? If I need to send more photos of certain areas of the jacket, I'd be happy to.

Anyone know any good songs with titles that are simply a person's name? I'm putting a set together for my radio show and I thought this would make for a quite fun/silly theme. Thanks!

BTW, ones I already have played in the past are: -Severina (The Mission) -Laura (Fields of the Nephilim) -Sebastiane (Sex Gang Children) -Medea (Sex Gang Children) -Medusa (Clan of Xymox) -All the other ones by Clan of Xymox lol

Want to go to a goth show in London but never been before…. is everyone dressed in black?
