Teen Gothic

What got your gears grinding this week?

For myself, it was the recent chaos at work and lies being said about me and the team here at r/goth (not all that was said was a lie, but a lot sure was. We are strict, not nazis or bigots. And we dont ban you just for mentioning you enjoy different music haha. Silly.)

This week has been awful. More to come in a comment later.

Also the popcorn you are eating has been pissed in, film at eleven.

Ugh. My so-called "better half" has roped me into taking her to an event called Yacht Rock Revival. It's an Adelaide Fringe event with a Melbourne party band (of the same name) playing a bunch of soft rock from the late 70s to early 80s.

Bloody soft rock! I hate soft rock! It is so… nothing! My idea of easy listening is Einstürzende Neubauten and Kraftwerk! Maybe Lycia or Cocteau Twins if I'm feeling particularly slow today.

I looked up the band and they have a repertoire list. I despaired. They have maybe one song on it I can tolerate and that's only as a joke. No doubt next Unofficial Seething Sunday I will be complaining about going to the blandest event ever as it is on Friday. Woe is Aytakk!

So, what you got?

​

Another week of minor annoyances, grumbles and general irritations. Just let me finish work so I can relax already! Those goth tunes won't listen to themselves!

How about you?

Hello good people of gothy Reddit,

I would like to formally invite you to join a live interview with Albie of Scary Black this coming Sunday (USA) February 11th at 10 AM PST.

I know we have some Scary Black fans in this thread so I wanted to invite you to join us live.

Also, if you don’t catch us live the same link will still work to watch the replay of the Interview. I’m very excited as we are going to dive into some deep topics such as inspirations to certain songs, being an introverted solo artist, and mental health. I’ll also be asking some follow up questions to what was asked in the interview Albie did with Obscura Undead a few years ago: http://www.obscuraundead.com/blog/interview-with-scary-black

See some of you on Sunday! 🖤🦇🖤

Sigh… so much anxiety the past few days. Anyone else having a bad time of things lately? Here's the place to say something if you want.

Can be goth related or not. We have a little freedom regarding that here.

Well, it is New Years Eve. If you want to complain about the things that went wrong for you this year this is the place.

2023 was pretty up and down for me. But I feel like 2022 was worse.

Now if you'll excuse me there is less than 4 hours of 2023 left (Yay Australia living in the future compared to you Europeans and Americans) and I have no plans on spending them sober.

From the dead zone let your bats fly!

Gripes, grievances and griefs. All welcome here.

I'm a little distracted and preoccupied this week with a funeral coming up in a couple of days. The inspiration to be entertaining or funny in the OP just isn't there. I can't even be mad enough to complain about something.

So have at it.

A few days ago a long-term friend and fellow local DJ passed away from cancer. Alec you will be missed by many and had a massive impact on the Adelaide scene as an event organiser, DJ and attendee from the late 00s (possibly sooner) to now.

Then a couple of days later my cat died. Not a great week.

Sometimes it feels like all I am doing is collecting a list of the dead. One day I'll be on other peoples' lists too. Don't plan on it happening any time soon but who knows. Life throws curveballs.

I hope things are going better for everyone else out there. If not, you are in the right place to express yourself.
