Goth music is literally just some silly guy or girl singing about great suffering and everything wrong with the world and then their mate behind them plays the most groovy, catchy bassline you’ve ever heard in your life.

Hey btw idk who lied to some of yall but just to be totally clear you absolutely do not need to be pale or do pale makeup to be goth. You also don't need to be thin or young. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is just some bigot and they're not part of my subculture.

You don't need clear skin. You don't need to be white. You don't need to be pale. You don't need to fade your freckles. You don't need an hourglass figure. You don't need expensive clothing. You don't need to hide your wrinkles. You don't need to lose weight. You don't need to conform to some set of gender roles. You don't need to be able-bodied. You don't need to dress up all macabre and elaborate every single day and put tons of effort into your appearance or wear anything that causes you discomfort.

You don't need to act a certain way, you don't need to look a certain way.

Just listen to the music and follow your heart from there and you're in the club, it really is that simple.
