this is very broad umbrella goth community until we get enough content / subscribers to justify split, so

tradgoth fashion, proper original 80s goth music
goth adjacent music genres
goth adjacent fashion/culture
general macabre stuff

on top of the normal instance rules:

please make sure you add a NSFW marking for anything gorey (though Gorey is still fine :) )

please make sure links to material dealing with e.g. self-harm have appropriate content warnings

please be nice to each other. if you think something's stupid/bad, just downvote it and move on. if you think something doesn't belong in this community, messaage it to the community mods who will do any gatekeeping necessary. this means you should not be showing up in the comments to tell someone their post is not real goth.

Honestly, I've always loved that you see people from different generations showing up to the club and doing their own things. Not Old Guy Coming To Hit On Women Half His Age--people coming to see their own friends, with their own stuff going on. Seems good for everybody.

I was explaining to my mom once about a monthly benefit night and a separate monthly craft bazaar and she started cracking up, saying it was like a church. My suspicion is that healthy community centers of any community develop similar appendages.

Well you will always have those who fetishize the look associated etc. But when it comes down to people who are actually into and enjoy the music. Yes I have to agree. All my closest friends are all what would be considered goth or Goth adjacent. Well that and older like myself lol. The OG original Goths as it were. Not that anyone's gatekeeping lol. It's also part of the reason why I went ahead and started up my own little similar theme sub on Lemmy here for post punk to talk tunes etc.
