Teen Gothic

Show me what you know of that exists in that category, please! Like really southern sounding goth music that has some twang to it, I need that shit in my life post-haste!

I love Gothic history and fashion! I listen to some of the music (only more popular ones like, the cure). I love the bold makeup and the wild hair. But the culture and rules scare me. Its like there is a millions rules I have to follow to be "a real goth." I have to listen to the music, I have to wear these clothes, and if I wear these shoes im fake, blah blah blah.

Why is it like this? Why are there so many rules? What do I have to do to be goth? Where do I start?

I live in High Point, North Carolina and I am searching for fellow goths I can be around since I lost my mom in a homicide. I have no family/friends left and I feel like my goth friends I gain would be my family.

We can also try to form a band, if you'll be down.

Also, if you have any discarded stuff that's goth you don't need, consider sending some my way since I'm just new into the scene.
