Teen Gothic

Hello there, I've lurked on this subreddit for awhile and I've been kind of lamenting the fact you don't really see any alternative people anymore, especially in Texas where I reside, it's hard to find people you relate to so I thought maybe, I could post something here for goth people around my age or older to gather and maybe find some like-minded friends? Sorry if this isn't very coherent but hopefully I've gotten my point across. Thanks for your time, and meet me in the comments if you like, maybe we can start a discord?

I have just turned 18 in my country peru legally I can enter bars and gothic events but as it is an informal country the truth is that you can enter being a minor inlcusive, this year I have already met people from the scene. But I know that in the United States you can't go to a bar until you are 21 years old which leaves me with the intrigue. How young people can make gothic friends being unable to attend these events? I am wondering this because I will be in Delaware soon.

With the OG punks they used pva glue and gel but what did the OG goths use. They most likely used hairspray and an old comb right? I feel like there must've been more primitive ways. I'm asking because hairspray doesn't really work with my hair.
