Teen Gothic

I'm just in my twenties but when I look at the history of goth, grunge, emo, cyberpunk etc. it used to be more distinctively differenciated.

For myself I can't really tell which subculture I belong to I love goth literature and art but I only sometimes like to listen to goth music. When I listen to music it is mostly rock and metal. Clothing wise it depends on the day sometimes just black, other days goth, some other day more metal, sometimes slightly emo and other days grunge.

I also feel that other alternative people just don't limit themself to one genre. From my understanding of the alternative history it felt more differentiated then nowadays.

What are your takes on that? Do you think it changed or was it always like that?

this is one of my first DIY projects and i'm still proud of it. please ignore that lady gaga's pin, I got it as a gift from a friend and that's why is there :')

It's like I found my way back to my long lost home, since I was a kid I always listened to Rock en Español and classic rock. Ever since I moved to the U.S. particularly L.A. there was only one station (Superestrella 107.1) that played Rock en Español and other hispanic music, I lost track when it was taken down and throughout high school I only listened to whatever it was mainstream thinking that what I used to listen was long gone.

Until my friend's girlfriend recommended me some shows that played that music.

Then I went to Gothicumbia on New Year's Eve and instantly felt like I came back home, they literally played all the songs I liked and had a blast, first time I've ever been in a moshpit and a happy accident occurred when I bumped into a girl and danced with her for a minute. People were chill, friendly, and very lively.

I just loved it.

Anja Huwe will be going on tour again! 35 years after Xmal Deutschland gave their last concerts and disbanded in 1990. Her first concert will be in Den Haag/The Hague at Grauzone festival next February, but there will be more shows after this! Apparently also with a new band line-up (that I hope includes original member(s) of the group!)

Everytime I recommend bands to a newer goth it always reminds me of when I was 12 and getting into the scene. It's a good feeling. It's nice helping someone discover who they are. Does anyone else feel this way?! I hope I'm not alone on this lol

Two of the most energetic bands ever, imagine both on the same night? Awesome!!
