Teen Gothic

i recently brought my partner to a underground goth club event and while there asked if he was comfortable because it wasn't his scene, his reply was that he is goth and that it is his scene. He listens to no goth music, does not dress goth, as well as knows no goth bands. he mostly exclusively listens to vaporwave and EDM/raver music, and he keeps saying that he is goth just for wearing black all the time. i tried to ask him if he knew any bands at all and he said that it didnt matter because being goth has nothing to do with fashion and music which i know that goth has a very big connection to music and fashion. i am a baby goth at the moment and was always told that you cant be goth without listening to the music/dressing the part has it changed now that you can be goth without dressing the part or listening to the music?

I know this has been talked about over and over again but I love goth music and culture, I love the visual aspect, the people and just everything about it, it makes me feel at home. But: I don't dress goth, at all. I am into classic and victorian style (1900s-1950s) and often feel like people seem confused. Is there anyone else out there who is in the goth scene but doesn't dress like it at all? If yes, what are your experiences? I'd be curious 🙂

body electric!

I was reading a few posts on here and was wondering what you guys thought about this, do you think it’s fair to call yourself a fan of a band if you don’t know anything about the members but love the music? I’m definitely like this with a few groups and it’s a bit of a hot topic to some people, what do you think?

i have always loved goth music and I've always been borderline goth in my fashion but never dove too far inn. picture more general alt style. I've been stepping up my fashion game but am having trouble with makeup. I DONT want to change my skin color. I am latina and you may or may not know that in Latin America there is a huge problem with colorism and it just feel wrong (and kind triggering to me) to lighten my skin. does anyone know any influences or have any other fashion and specifically makeup resources that don't alter their skin tone?
