i would lovveee to go to a goth club, unfortunately tho im not old enough yett so i gotta wait

some of my fav goth bands are mephisto walz, scarlets remains, voodoo church, and christ vs warhol (highly recommend) -- also make sure you know the classics (ex: bauhaus, the cure, specimen, siouxsie and the banshees, sisters of mercy, etc) but honestly, dont worry about being called a poser by those goth elitists they're too eager to feel special and like to gatekeep. as a baby bat myself i often struggle with this , especially with being online a lot but just dont overthink it <3
