So because I'm a bit too laid back as a moderator, I forgot to post a forum thread where we introduce ourselves. If you want.

Hey guys!!
I'm Dean/Dee, a teenager from the USA over here. I'm big into a lot of alt/goth/punk bands, especially the classics in the vein of Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Damned and such. (.... See my bio for more?) Looking for any goth/alt buddies around my age? No one over 20 or so please [:
I'm also really into DIYing stuff !!! Would love to talk to anyone about that aspect of alt culture.

I'm Dilan! I'm in Canada, 22, I'm a baby-bat. Currently, I've been building my trad-goth/ mall-goth wardrobe, but one day I hope its a mix of a bunch of goth fashions. My top bands right now are; The Cure, Clan of Xymox, Lebanon Hanover, Mareux, Type O Negative, and Depeche Mode.
I jusstt missed myspace by the time I got any social media, and I'm not the biggest fan of the modern ones, so I'm really loving this site so far! I'm nervous as all hell, but say hi!

I'm 22 and use he/they pronouns. I don't always wear black either but most of my clothes are black xD I'm more into trad goth fashion-wise (probably because most of the music I listen to is 80s or 80s-like), but I also like Gothic Lolita. Depeche Mode is my favorite band! I saw Molchat Doma this year, I'm seeing The Cure soon, and I'll see Depeche Mode in the fall (not to brag aaaa). I'm a big fan of cemeteries and it makes me so sad when I see photos of goths sitting on the headstones, it's very disrespectful and will cause the stone to shift :(

I’m ash, he/they, 16 almost 17, I’m new to the goth subculture to please don’t be mean to me, my favorite goth bands are probably type o negative and the cure, and I’m enjoying strawberry switchblade though I haven’t listened to much of their stuff. My favorite non goth music is probably waterparks, fall out boy, and Taylor swift. I enjoy fashion and subculture and that was the main thing that drew me to the goth community. Uhhhh I’m about to enter my last year of highschool and want to go to fashion school. I also enjoy playing dnd. I guess that’s it :3

hello! i'm zee, i'm 21, and although i do already know quite a lot of goth/goth-adjacent bands i am always welcome to any recommendations! i am very shy and only have one friend in real life, my bf, due to social anxiety and living somewhere with no real alternative scene so i'm looking to make new friends with similar or completely opposite interests as i am open to learning about all sorts of different people. i was raised by a witch so i've always been into the weirder side of life and my mom loves to joke i was "born goth" due to being a very creepy child and being influenced by her music taste as a child. i am not a fan of gatekeepers or elitists so i am completely fine talking to people who have been in the subculture for years or only just started being curious about it :)

Hey everyone! I'm Kai, I'm 20 and I go by he/him pronouns. I'm from the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area of Minnesota in the US.
I've been into the trad goth aesthetic, gothic rock and many of its related and adjacent genres ever since I was in my early teens. I don't dress in a way that scream "I AM GOTH" but I have identified as one for the past many years. The goth and goth-adjacent bands and musicians I like the most are:
Cocteau Twins
Sad Lovers & Giants
The Chameleons UK
The Cure
Lowlife (UK band from the 80s)
Bauhaus
Depeche Mode
The Mission UK
The Sisters Of Mercy
Dead Can Dance
Anyone is welcome to check out my page and send me a message!
Cheers, - Kai

Hello, I'm Leena, 38 yr old she/her enby from the USA. I've been a goth since I was at least 12 though I wasn't able to afford the outward aesthetic until about 30. I was just too poor in my 20s and in my teens, my parents thought it was too weird. When I finally was able to, it was like I was becoming myself for the first time.
