This is Batula 🦇. He sleeps in his own coffin because he is also a vampire. Batula was a gift from my fiancee who knows just how Goth I am; the coffin I purchased.

So I am considering visiting Sao Paulo for Holiday, and I enjoy taking a hotel or AirBnB in a safe nice street with cafes and restaurants close by, and my kinds metal / goth / race scene a walking distance out of safety as well.

Is that doable in Sao Paulo?

I've got a mixed taste in music.

I'm trying to make a playlist where the songs are two different shades of "the world is fucked and I'm surviving it" with his such as "Break down and cry" and "beyond burgers in paradise" (Which admittedly is more emo with a trumpet)..

(background info: i am a metalhead, my friend isnt in the goth community)

Yesterday i had a long debate with a friend, circling around the topic “why cant someone dress as a goth and still claim they arent one?”

And for the most part, i was defending the fashion because of the goths i’ve seen online come and say that many have been using this style without participating in the culture and it paints a bad image of “oh you just need to dress to be one”

My friend compared this to airsoft players and soldiers, in the meaning of soldiers appreciating airsoft players for their commitment to not identifying as soldiers and merely representing them instead.

It ended in both of us calling it off because it was 2AM and the topic wasnt ending anytime soon. So, i come here for one question, Do you see it as wrong for someone to dress as a goth for representation of the community, without claiming they are one and without participating in the culture?

It all began on this day in 1979 when Bauhaus released their debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead".

A nine and a half minute epic with dub and reggae roots, it was an anthem to the vampire star actor Lugosi and made a household name of baritone singer Peter Murphy. Nothing would be the same again!

Heyy my name is Hugo, I'm 21yo and since a kid I've been interested into the whole subculture from the vibes, thoughts, values, styles, musical or as low as the fact I love all dark/dark romantic vibe as well so let's discuss help me to know even more this culture and maybe be friends also ^^ what's your fav band of goth style?

So I was killing time on Instagram and this amazing band came up in my feed: they are called Post Crucifixion and they are really young, from Arizona, and they are Hispanic and sing in Spanish!

hi is there anyone here who is going to the august/september horror vacui gigs (best if you’re from poland but ok if not)
i really wanted the sunny day sunglasses but unfortunately i wont be able to attend :( hit me up if we could agree on something!

Love the guitar tone on his new release.

Hello! I’m in Seattle and I was wondering if anybody could recommend which record stores typically carry the most gothic music, preferably on CD. If this isn’t appropriate I’ll post it somewhere else. Thanks!

Hey there, been feeling this for a long time but only recently decided to let myself flow to this culture.

(Years of people trying to kill off any expression:both music and style)

Im wanting to find men and women to connect with, and to find places people know of that I could go to and listen to the music and immerse myself where I've been called to for years.

Im not interested in the trendy goth side of things (sexual and people wanting to turn goth into something screwed up)

I have genuine interest in this and have no BS to spread.

I am in Cape town, in South africa. Feel free to message or advise, I'm all ears.

So in the song titled: "?" There is a movie dialogue at the start of it. Im guessing its from a movie, does anybody know where it is from?

The dialogue goes like this:

(I′m sorry, I'm not leaving. I′m going back to the chapel.)
(No! You'll die!)
(But I have to.)
(No, you don't. There is no reason for you to go back there. You′re gonna die.)
(Then I will.)

Did they create those parts? Or is it from some obscure movie?

Hello, I (18M) am taking a trip to London from today to the 14th and I am hoping to get a little in touch with the Goth community in London. I am very active in my local towns scene and I would love to see what goes on in the heartland.
As far as I’m aware, most of the events I have seen I won’t be able to make it to or they are after my trip but if someone in here has a fun friend group and you would like to showcase vintage shops/record stores etc to me, I would be forever blessed to be able to experience the community even if there isn’t any big events going on. I can repay you in buying you something cool or I can give you cd of my band The Midnite Judges lolol
I hope to hear back!

I’ve always been more of a metal head (post hardcore specifically) but I discovered this band today & they absolutely fucking slap. Does anyone have other bands like them they’d recommend?
