I would like to ask this question, because in my city this genre is completely dead, and there are a maximum of 10 people living in the district

well i suppose you are russian(?) personally speaking i havent met a lot of russian people who are into such type of music. i knew a guy who was a huge fan of joy division. funny enough he was the one that got me to enjoy post punk in the first place. he didnt label himself goth or anything like that tho... tbh he didnt even have much knowledge about this. i mean he only listened to some popular bands and thats it actually. unfortunately his music taste had changed a lot eventually and now he only listens to hip hop

not a lot
most of them are fake claiming to be goth when really they just dress alt and listen to lil peep (nothing wrong with that it’s just not goth), but so far i only know myself and my best friend

Not so many, well except the ones that want to dress alt and don't actually listen to the music

I like to believe that there is a lot but most of the alternative people i met just liked the fashion or were emo lol. I've never met another goth in real life

I know just one.
No, my city isnt small but here dont like subcultures.
(I live in Russia, Voronezh, on the border with Ukraine)
But anyway here many Alternative ppl, like my bf and our big Group. SSP, 61 and we know every person here. but we don’t communicate with most of them for personal reasons (like ex lovers and who gossip 'bout me, my bf can't handle them

I live in a big city so theirs many of them but ngl most are posers , if not they are in their in their early 20s to 30s. So I dont hang out with them at all plus most goth events here are like 18+ or 21+.

Quite a few! The scene was pretty dead for a good decade or so, but in recent years it's come back, especially with the opening of a goth store that also serves as a community center. I went to a goth arts market a few weeks ago and got some nice stuff from local artists :) I don't get out as often as I should, though... But yeah, there's definitely an active goth scene in my area, and other than that brief empty period in the 2010s, there always has been.

I'm friends with MOST but not all. And since I live in a small town there's like I'd say 5 or 6 of us in my grade but I'm not sure about the other grades. I live in McFarland (McFarland, I just like calling it McFarland cuz this town sucks.)

I'm in the midwestern united states. There is a small goth community in my town, there are events held where we get together. It's just a handfull of people but its always so joyful.

) they dont care about politics at all?????or music?? they would be listening to tv girl or idk deftones only, i repeat, ONLY! THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THESE BANDS, I LIKE THEM TOO!!! i only mean these tiktok music taste yk YOU KNOW AAAAAAA also non-goth people spreading misinformation about goth culture is a thing too, they are fake alt ppl and they only watch these tiktok ahh slideshows like people showing these goth labels, and trad goth would be always black and white while my baby susan janet ballion would wear her beautiful red lipstick and blue cat eye makeup (sorry i like yapping i guess lol) theres a lot alt people here in istanbul/turkey but i guess they arent alt at all
