Teen Gothic

I saw the flyer for Sick New World and instantly bought tickets after I saw London After Midnight, She Wants Revenge and most importantly Sisters of Mercy were playing there.

I'm a big fan of all their shit, but recently I watched one of their 2022 live performances for the first time and saw that they don't even have a drummer or a bassist anymore; but instead 2 young flashy guitarists and some guy on a laptop, all the songs sounded really disappointing. The band just doesn't work without bass/drums and it made me sad as balls hearing them play Lucretia my Reflection without the bassline

I thought I saw somewhere that the original band was getting back together for Sick New World, maybe in an Instagram comment, but I can't find anything online. Does anyone know if they're going to have drums and bass for this event? cause if not I don't know if I want to ruin the band for myself by seeing them live if they sound like what I heard

I'm so sick of Goths, particularly female Goths, being sexualized the way they are right now.

I'm 13, and I've been catcalled multiple times, a few months ago, the first time I was catcalled, I wasn't even 13. I was 12. TWELVE- And these guys who catcall me are like 50.

I know catcalling isn't the worst thing that can happen, but still, these people are like 4x my age and it's literally so gross.

I had a fear of leaving my house or being alone for a while, I'm starting to grow out of it, but it's taking a while.

Can't people tell I'm a minor? I'm not allowed to wear makeup outside the house, I've been told many times I look younger than my age. People in my school literally say I "Look like a Goth 5 year old" to me. It isn't that freaking hard-

Anyways, thank you for reading my tangent.
