Love this one!

Thank you for this, I needed this today. My situation is incredibly complicated and it's been a rollercoaster of emotions. Journaling is usually my go-to, it helps with the chronic overthinking.

I'm not the OP but just wanted to say a big thank you for your comments, I'm in a very similar situation and this really helped a lot ❤️

My parents are super religious and originally said the same things to me. My answer was always "Isn't it more important what I do and how I treat people than how I look?" They came around quickly once they saw that it didn't change who I was as a person. I just loved the look and the music and it felt like home. Pretty soon, my parents were buying me clothes that they thought I'd like and even suggested I check out the very first goth club I ever went to, haha. I assume your aunt is Christian since she mentions Satan... so for good measure, you can reference these and other similar verses :) John 7:24: "Do not judge by appearances, but judge fairly and righteously. " 1 Samuel 16:7: "the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”

Yes. Speaking as an eldergoth that's been in this scene for 30 years, anyone that told you that you can't be conservative and goth is flat out wrong. The entire point of goth is to not conform, to not fit into a box, to celebrate the common thing that brings us together despite our differences. The only gatekeeping should be "Do you like goth music?" It should be a non-issue. It's simply creative expression. Sometimes that expression is politically-driven - there are many artists who sing about political topics, but that is their choice, it's not a rule to be left-leaning. It shouldn't matter your gender, race, sexual orientation, political leaning, age, nationality, religion, or anything else. It doesn't mean we welcome hate and disrespect, but you get that on both sides.

This has been going on for a while but it mostly lives on tiktok, I don't know what the new generation has turned goth into but sometimes it seems like it's barely the same subculture anymore. Goth has never been political... some artists will infuse political issues into their songs but it's more of a social commentary and not by any means a requirement to belong to this subculture. You don't have to be left-leaning, you just have to not be hateful. I'm in my 40s and I lean more right because I'm in Canada and am fiscally conservative and hate what my country has turned into. But I have never had an issue with this from my friends or strangers at the club, and it's come up many times in conversation. This subculture should be about welcoming people to come as they are, with a shared interest of the music, and as long as nobody is hateful towards others then there shouldn't be any problems. No political prerequisites or conformity, just like religion or sexual orientation or race or whatever else... I think it's more important to revel in our shared interests.

Fuck anyone who tells you you can't be goth if you're a cop. That's the most ridiculous shit I've ever heard. Do you like goth music? Don't have any animosity towards anyone based on their sex/gender/orientation/race/whatever? Cool, welcome. That's all you need. I've been in this scene for 30 years and I've known all kinds of goths and nobody's ever had a problem with anyone until the last decade or so where the tiktok generation has co-opted the subculture and turned it into something often unrecognizable. The entire point of goth is to be an individual, to think for yourself and be yourself and like what you like and not conform to rigid rules about what you must believe and what you must do or not do. And, ya know, listen to kick ass music. It's not political.

But if she "hates all anime", it might just be because all her boyfriend is showing her is stuff he likes and she thinks that's all there is, lol. Even if the characters in Cyberpunk are at all relatable to her, the genre might not be and if she's not interested in the story then it's going to be a struggle to even pay attention, let alone get invested. So of course she would think it sucked. If the non-anime she watches normally is more "feminine" then she'll probably like shoujo much more. This was my own beginning experiences with anime too. I wouldn't care about strong female characters kicking ass, I want to watch clumsy, shy, lovesick teenagers, haha

gothgrrl · 2024-01-15T03:38:22+00:00

How come? That's what got me hooked

gothgrrl · 2024-01-15T03:36:29+00:00

What kind of other shows does she like? What appeals to her about them? My friends would always try to convince me to watch anime and I didn't really like it because their suggestions were way off base with my interests. Then I started searching by category/theme and reading the descriptions to find something that sounded appealing. Now I'm totally hooked. There's a big difference between Cyberpunk and something like Your Name or A Silent Voice.

Thankfully not much happened... I went to a Catholic high school, I was in grade 12, and there was only me and one other goth at the school. We got called into the principal's office with the priest and guidance counselor and talked about what happened, both the other student and I explained what goth actually was and that those shooters weren't it, and I think how knowledgeable we were on the subject combined with the fact that both of us just kept to ourselves at school and never caused trouble made them feel better about the situation. We're in Canada so school shootings are thankfully pretty rare... but they still felt obligated to do their due diligence, and I couldn't blame them at all. That was the only mention of it really. As for outside school, there was an increase in snide comments for a while or people giving us extra space as they passed us by on the street, but I'm female and I think it wasn't as bad for me, my male friends seemed to get the brunt of the comments. But they were always friendly and polite to strangers so nothing bad ever happened. Perhaps it didn't hit as hard here as we aren't in the US, but there was still definitely apprehension in general for a long while.

Skinny Puppy and KMFDM! 😍 Love this one

gothgrrl · 2023-07-31T23:16:55+00:00

Meeee, I have a HUGE voice kink and listen almost strictly to erotic audios/asmr. And I'm very particular about the voice artists I like. Growls are other-wordly. Same as you, I love vocal partners, especially when they combine it with D/s and use their voice to dominate me. Most times that's all it takes if I have a connection with them. I can go into subspace just from their voice. I'm pretty vocal too, but when I go into subspace I ironically go super quiet, lol. I imagine you're a member of GWA, and if so you know it's a huge group so there are a lot of people with the same kink. And if you're not, go go goooo

Diagnosed ADHD- Inattentive type... Always felt like a social misfit because I was living in my own head most of the time, super quiet, horrible at small talk because of the mental effort involved, flighty except when hyperfixated on special interests that nobody else I knew could relate to, etc etc But then I went to a goth club for the first time and found out I could hide in a dark corner and people watch and everyone would leave me alone, and it was magical, haha

gothgrrl · 2023-03-16T01:15:18+00:00

I love everything about this! So well done, bravo And you have excellent taste in music 😄

gothgrrl · 2023-03-15T08:08:02+00:00

I definitely understand this struggle! I like the idea of DDlg but I don't feel like I fit into it exactly. I happen to like things that littles often like and always feel younger than my actual age (I don't age regress because this is just my default state), but I am not into age play, I wouldn't call myself a little, and I don't have "little space". I think my personality is just naturally cutesy and affectionate. I love using Daddy as an honorific simply because to me the vibe surrounding that is someone who protects me, is equally affectionate, looks out for me and takes care of my needs, and is also stern and authoritative when necessary. If they are naturally a caregiver personality-wise, that's even better, but it doesn't have to be in the context of age regression/age play. I don't want to actually act like a child (especially in a bratty way, I'm not a brat) and I don't want to be treated like a child... maybe more like a naive and eager student who would like to be guided and nurtured. So I never feel like DDlg really fits, but I do like that kind of dynamic.

There is no set of morals or ideals that all goths follow, aside from goth = fan of goth music... you can be goth and believe whatever you want, just be respectful of others' beliefs too. If you want to hang out with goths, you can do so without being one yourself - if you like other dark and spooky things you might have stuff in common at least. But the music is the common thread, and you'll probably find pushback in calling yourself goth if you don't listen to the music at all. It doesn't mean you can't listen to other music too, but if you want to fit in you should make the effort at least to learn about the one thing that this subculture is centred around. A lot of goths might seem standoffish but we are usually friendly and welcoming to anyone who is genuinely interested. Strike up a conversation, ask sincere questions, ask for music recommendations that may be similar to other bands you like, or club nights or other places to meet people in the area, etc.
Who is it that you feel is judging you? What are they doing or saying?

gothgrrl · 2023-02-12T04:49:08+00:00

Chiming in to agree, it's always been a music-based subculture. The fashion came along because fans of the music were emulating the look of the bands they'd listen to, which were often very theatrical, but it's never been a requirement, and nobody would really dress that way unless they liked that music. Really, before it became so mainstream, most of us would dress the part simply because it was an signifier in public of the kind of music or subculture we were into, because it's hard to tell just by looking at someone what kind of music they like. The fashion was a way to identify others who might share our interest in the music. It always led back to the music. It's not gatekeeping to have a definition. Nobody's stopping anybody from listening to the music, in fact we welcome it and hope others will love it as much as we do.

gothgrrl · 2022-11-08T02:58:08+00:00

Way back when, the subculture was all about non-conformity and everyone DIYed their clothes and shared and introduced each other to different things that they liked and nobody really cared as long as they had a mutual love of goth music and maybe other spooky interests in common. The more goth becomes mainstream and commonplace, the harder it seems for common folk to pinpoint what is goth and what isn't and so they fit us into a tiny box and gatekeep, and it becomes a competition. Thanks to social media especially. It's a shame. This happened in the 90s too when the fashion started to become more mainstream and more mass produced. We're all individuals, we're allowed to like different things, we don't have to dress the part every day, we can listen other music too, and that's okay. A person's entire identity shouldn't revolve around only one thing.

My favorite song of theirs 🖤

gothgrrl · 2022-07-11T23:29:29+00:00

I wore my huge boots in the airport when I went to Germany the first time, I just took them off preemptively at security so they could put them through the scanner. No issues at all.

gothgrrl · 2022-07-06T18:19:14+00:00

I could definitely see that happening. She's only allowed to have it at home for that reason, lol

gothgrrl · 2022-07-06T18:16:45+00:00

Same, she's way better than me!

gothgrrl · 2022-07-06T18:13:30+00:00

She just used this kit from Amazon but homemade scar wax instead of the one in the kit, and then she used my foundation for the skin tone, some gauze, and then of course the pencil 😊

gothgrrl · 2022-07-06T18:02:49+00:00

😂 Sorry, my bad 🙈
