Teen Gothic

I used to study subcultural styles and I wanted to ask about the looks I see with younger goths at the club and online.

The main thing I've noticed over the last couple years is a makeup style that consists of a white base with intricate black details added over it. Does anyone know the source of this look? A lot of goth style comes from emulating musicians, but I can't think of any that do this look (maybe Twin Tribes sometimes?). It like how it takes a trad goth look and iterates on it.

Also, in terms of dress how would you characterize Gen Z? I probably haven't paid as much attention to this as I should, in general they seems to go for traditional goth looks but maybe there are patterns I'm not seeing yet.

This is going to sound strange but I’ve always been goth but just never dressed fully goth?

I’m turning 30 and would like to know where to start of guys in their 30s dressed goth and clearly goth but not overdoing it

I see so many goths with huge, teased up, thick hair. Unfortunately I have pretty thin hair and it’s hard to find any hair style that would ever fit me because of my thin hair. Most of the time it just falls over unless I don’t have tons of dry shampoo and hair spray which results in a rough looking texture and adds up quick with the amount of product I put in my hair. Right now I have just a regular undercut that sometimes I form into a Mohawk, but I’d like something more extreme.

Anyone have any recommendations? I’m not asking for Robert Smith or Ronny Moorings hair, but something that is more alternative and eye catching than an undercut.
