Teen Gothic

I would first like to say that yes I do know that post brexit wave is not goth in the slightest with most bands adopting a more art rock and no wave sound and others staying well away from goth adjacent sounds. Fontaines DC dropped Skinty Fia in 2022, an album which seems to lean into dark post punk sounds and aesthetics that feel borderline gothic or at times full on gothic post punk. I've also started getting into up and coming underground acts like heartworms and nightbus. Heartworms probably could be best described as post brexit wave adjacent post punk with a gothic twist and nightbust are what would happen if the xx went gothic. What do you guys think of these bands and artists? Anything similar right now within the goth scene that you would recommend or other British bands with similar sounds you listen to?

In the late 1990's there was a late night TV show called Passengers which was narrated by Jo Whiley.

In one episode there was a short segment on the Hungarian goth scene. Every person they interviewed committed suicide.

If anyone has this footage or any other good resources on Hungarian goth it would be appreciated. Thanks.

There's several things wrong with this, and from the horrible face merging to the unnecessary tacky 'sketch' filter over them, im not even sure which part burns my eyes most. It does no justice to them whatsoever and my question is WHY THIS? Who was in charge of, not JUST putting this together, but putting this as THE BANNER on spotify?

Hey everyone! Me and my partner are traveling to the Huntington area. Does anyone know or can link me to events going on this weekend, please and thanks!

This is the third time this has happened so I know it's not a coincidence.

I'm a babybat and only started becoming more visibly alternative in the past few years – I have black hair, snakebites, a septum piercing and very visibly tattooed arms and legs. Today I was walking through the shopping centre, just in shorts and a t-shirt, no alternative makeup on, and two adult-sized (but they certainly behaved like children) men saw me and made fake puking noises.

I try not to let it get to me because at the end of the day I'm very happy with my style, I finally feel like the outward me matches the way I always saw myself in my head, but I'm a sensitive bean and it's hard not to feel self-conscious and sad after something like this, especially since it's happened a few times in public now.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia for reference – I'd heard of boys barking at goth girls before but the puking thing seems to not be so common, at least when I've tried to search for similar experiences online.

I’m sure there will be set conflicts. Mostly between the bottom bands if they are playing at the same time. I love Rozz’s Christian Death stuff but I haven’t listened to the rest of their catalog. I’m leaning towards them over 45 Grave or Skeletal Family though. I’m most excited about: Cold Cave, Clan of Xymox, Drab Majesty, Christian Death, Depresión Sonora, London After Midnight, Death in Vegas, Kavinsky, Molchat Doma, and all of the top bands really.
