Teen Gothic

Hello! I love in Hungary, I like alternative music, mostly goth, and recently I have went to an alternative music store to get patches. The thing is, they were selling some pretty offensive stuff, like iron crosses, confederation flags, like the slave owner flag, and like pins with a smiley of hitler. It was pretty messed up I think, a place calling itself punk should definitely not have anything like this in inventory.

The thing is, I wrote to them, asking why they sell that kind of stuff, and they just answered that people buy it, so they sell it. I also wrote a Google review saying that they have hate symbols, and they wrote back to me that I might just be too soft for a place like that. Can or should I do anything other than not returning? Have any of you faced similar situations? I want patches, but for now I will make my own ones.

Looking for bands closer to my age to listen to, follow, or even potentially play with.

Already familiar with: Social Youth Cult, Bloodworm, The Nocturnal, Of Cruelty, Weimar Republic, New Dark Age, Lost, Doll Coven, Teleforme, Dantzic.

I've heard many, MANY people say that they aren't good as a live act. My individual ticket (because I'm the only irl goth I know) is somewhere between $ 200-250 USD after taxes and fees. I have NO problems dropping that kind of money for a band that makes the experience worth it. So I have to ask…. would you guys go?

Have you seen any goth bands this year or last year that just sounded so different or bad that they weren't worth seeing? Or ones that didn't put much effort into the performance?
I saw Pink Turns Blue a few months ago and they sounded like a generic indie rock band, and I don't just mean the new stuff. Different song arrangements, zero energy, nothing sounded goth/punk anymore. I got so bored that I left the show early. The musicians seemed bored as well.

I'm looking for goth magazine recommendations. What's worthwhile? Lately there's a lot of hype surrounding the first release of Undead Magazine, largely because of Monica Richards—who I adore, just for the record—but it's not to my taste. I'm not particularly interested in magazines that focus primarily on fashion, even if there's a smattering of music articles. I'm looking for relevance, originality, and/or depth. Quality. Goth music and the goth subculture. Creative submissions. Useful information. Anything in that vein.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Dates are somewhat flexible but will be in the first 2 weeks of December 2021. Just trying to get a feel for what events are happening or what resources I could use to discover events.

Any guidance would be appreciated! Never been to New York so I still have a lot to figure out
