i have a jean jacket i thrifted myself and ironed on a bunch of patches onto it :D it’s reeaaally big on me and so comfy and my fav piece of clothing that i consider scene ^-^

i thrift a lot of my clothing or get them from Hot Topic, Spencer’s or if im feeling creative i take old clothes and use my artsy skills to make them scene/emo :3

as for jewelry, usually Spencer’s, thrifting or shops around downtown where i live :>

YIn Mexico there is a market where all alternative clothing is sold and without spending much, you can find anything that has to do with alternative, Patches of any genre of Metal, Gothic clothing whether dresses, shirts, corsets, also jewelry, boots, posters, skateboards, books, vinyl records and many other things related to alternative!

either shein, hot topic, or spencers !! :3 they have rlly good stuff and if u search hard enough on shein u can find rlly good clothes ! hot topic has the coolest stuff ever so i recommend ! :]

Literally anywhere i guess. ESPECIALLY around Halloween XD 

any plus size online stores recommendations for emo 2000s clothing ? 

I became a #1 fan of Aliexpress, they sell a lot of scemo clothes there :]

Honestly. I don't know if every country has this but Vinted is an amazing app. My entire wardrobe (including bags, accessories, shoes, etc) is ALL from there and it is surprsingly and amazingly cheap and has amazing stuff

yeah same, i go thrifting or buy stuff on depop

this is kinda embarrassing but i get my skinny jeans from forever 21 :,) they make RLLY gud skinny jeans, ripped or not, and they have some baggy stuff which is pretty cute 2! i will say hot topic is bringing back tripp pants (tripp inspired) and i have a pair which r awesome! im still obsessed with hot topic although everything is expensive in there. the store near me has rlly gud stuff if u rlly look for it!!

THRIFT STORESSSS and then i diy alot of stuff like adding studs, spikes, patches, lace, ext. 

local metal & goth shops & thrift stores and i also make a lot of my own clothes 2 !

i just usually get my clothes from online shopping or thrifting. sometimes it's even easier to get accessories during halloween time, at shops like spirit halloween. i don't really like shopping at bigger stores or companies. but when i find something good and affordable, i'll get it. thrifting is definitely my number one though!

i HIGHLY suggest looking at romwe, they have high quality stuff of all styles for really low prices. you can find majority of the actually fashionable things in the womens section but they fit everyone. they also have plus sized stuff!

i get alot of my scene from acdc rag its a japanese brand and its super inclusive

thrifting mostly, surprisingly i find a lot of good clothes in non-alternative stores like pacsun and hollister :P

Classic emo stores :> Spencers and hot topic, but thrift is where I get all the jeans and sometimes shirts. I get some fun little accessories from thrift too! 

I usually get my clothes thrifted or from Hot Topic.

Here are some of the more recent places/brands I have been buying stuff though;

Forest Ink- mostly sell goth/nu goth style items. They have their own website as well as sell through Vampire Freaks. Pretty size inclusive. I ordered their Rosemary Bloomers and they ended up being one of my favorite items.

Poizen Industries- Goth brand sold through sites like Vampire Freaks and Blue Banana. I own a biohazard hoodie from them and it's really well made and cozy,

Dark Star Fusion - US based small business specializing in cyber goth aesthetic. They have both an etsy shop as well as their own website. Bought one of their hooded shrug tops this year and it's extremely well made, stylish and warm.

Devil Fashion - Goth brand similar to Punk Rave. Have their own website and are sold through Vampire Freaks. I own a long trench coat as well as a spider web mesh top from them, and they're both great quality. The coat is very warm for the winter surprisingly.

Rogue and Wolf - Goth/witchy aesthetic brand. Have their website and sometimes have their stuff sold through Vampire Freaks. I own one of their cardigan coats and much like the Devil Fashion coat it's surprisingly great quality and warm for the winter.

Usually I go to thrift stores, but sometimes i order from devil inspired since they have a TON of alt clothes that are relatively affordable. 

I really like buying from ACDC Rag, they have alot of cute alt clothes in their dark section that r sooo cheap, but the home company is in Japan so depending on where you are the shipping might be crazy expensive

All of my cloths r from second-hand shops! ^_^

i used to buy from online goth shops but stuff was almost never what i expected, only when i was paying very high, so i decided to go to local thrifts which was much easier e cheaper to find alt clothes where i live.

I buy most of my stuff from Dolls Kill and Hot Topic, though I'm holding back more on Dolls Kill since I recently found out that they just straight up steal from other companies and artists. The Heavy Metal Shop is good for band tee's and cool stuff like that. Sometimes I'm able to find some decently "fancy" emo stuff at Forever 21 but they mostly do casual fashion so maybe don't shop there. I would definitely recommend thrifting anywhere you can find, sometimes you end up with a good haul(accept for ROSS, I've never really found much good stuff there :<)

you can find cheap thrift shops EVERYWHERE in my country (i’m asian) and that’s where i mostly get my stuff

i like to thrift! i live in a tiny country, so we only have 2 thrift stores of the same brand. i also like to look through my parent's stuffs from when they were teens.

i get most of my clothes from cider, its online and has a lot of lovely stuff

i get most of my band shirts from hot topic, but for everything else i usually just get plain items and alter then myself (like putting studs and stuff on a plain jacket)

Etsy, Poshmark, Hot Topic, Jessica Louise, Tripp NYC, Silent Scream Clothing, and various thrift stores.

All of my clothes are thrifted!! If there arent any good thrift stores close to you, i highly recommend using vinted, i found so many cool items on there!!<3

go-tos are Spencer's, Hot Topic, and thrift stores but I'm gonna try to look for more alternative brands that aren't crazy expensive online once I have my own card and bank account.

ebay / mercari ngl my style is pretty basic it's really just ripped stockings, spiked chokers/really any black choker of any kind jorts & t shirts. for shoes i love doc martens & demonias mostly, but i also like harley davidson boots. i used to go thrifting a lot but  within the past few years thrifting has kind of become obsolete so i do most of my shopping online... i do manage to pop into a thrift store every once in awhile though. i have these amazing black jeans i found at goodwill for like 5 bucks and they fit me so good, i wore them almost everyday at one point

Mostly hot topic lol, have had some luck with garage and thrifting too :)

Honestly, either online secondhand stores or regular secondhand stores! can't really rely on hot topic. I also find alot of good belts and jewlery from spencers 

honestly whatever works, hand-me-downs, thrifting, a few of my favs are literally from a dumpster i was passing omw home, sometimes if i can afford it ill buy 2 or 3 thingz from the mall

My style is almost everywhere but I'm not really goth, emo or any of the sort but I do like lolita/kei fashion extremely. Most wallet friendly stuff is just most small businesses on instagram! it takes a bit of searching to find what you might like but its so worth the wait you'll find great resellers, and businesses. I also go thrifting a lot that helps too! (Also arcana archive is good but quite pricey)

usually i gets my stuff from hot topic or official band storez, but i do enjoy thrifting and would love to make my own shirts sometime soon!!!!!!!! i just need da right materials 4 it

I love going thrifting so i get all my stuff second handed, there are many places in my town to look for some awesome dark clothes, I also sometimes modify if i need to

thrifts / the bins !!!!!!!!! do Not underestimate ur ability to DIY things either !!! Ive made a tonnnn of stuff myself that I couldn't find online or in person ! sadly w the lack of mall culture in this day i find it difficult to find in-person stores that cater to a niche / subculture instead of the trends 3:

THANK YOU FOR THIS FORUM

I get my coolest pants from Tripp NYC all my jewellery is stolen from friends and my jumpers are thrifted or stolen :3 I always buy shoes brand new because I need them to last

DIY!!!!! honestly you can do alot with just pintrest and some trash or spare clothes... i love to bleach band logos, make patches. im working on my own tripp pants rn!! get creative  ;)

My style is bit of a mess / mix right now but Thrifts or EBay works pretty good! If you’re up for spending more time on it DIYing is pretty good - you could add patches pins etc to a Jacket.

ideally, u want 2 avoid fast fashion n hot topic- fast fashion for more obvious reasons, and HT is run by assholes lmao. I currently really like thrifting, eBay, Depop (pricey but easier 2 find clothes u like), Tunnel Vision (jewelry & clothes, on the expensive side but they're a great business), IGirl (jewelry n' some clothes, also pretty expensive but well run just like TV), Vinted n Poshmark as well. Spencers is pretty good also. I heard Zumiez was good 2? espescially if ur into a more 2000s poppunky vibe if u will (size up atleast 2 times if u want baggy Empyres tho lmao) If ur gonna use ebay always sort by "used/preowned" & "low to high"!! 

i gotta agree with the 'i don't go to hot topic anymore,' The quality of their jewelry and clothing sucks ass nowadays and rips/tears easily or breaks apart. 

i've gotten my clothes and multiple stockings as hand me downs from my mother (who was a myspace user) who took such good care of her items. she's even given me 3 pairs of good black boots, one of them being slightly platform. 

she's even given me her body jewelry collection which have no stains or scratches, neatly polished. some heavy metal necklace chains as well (4 in total)

belts i just get from amazon, bracelets and necklaces too, but there's not much of a variety. 

and i know this isn't fashion related, but i have a ton of mini vintage goth statues from my local goodwill :p 

Mostly thrifting BUT I usually up cycle clothes my relatives give me! I'm good at sewing and as artists I already have practice on things like painting in fabric, which make everything easier.

i really love killstar and blackmilk. they're kind of pricey but i like to treat myself every once in a while
