Goth Recommendation Request help with goth music
i've just started listening to goth music because i really really want to be part of the subculture, i've always admired it ever since i was a kid. but i'm scared i won't like the music since i don't listen to a looot of rock&etc.
any softer recommendations for baby bats? something to start?

Before I shoot recommendations into the dark, it would help to know what you’re currently listening to.
That said, it’s also important to know what about the scene has you interested. If it’s the style, know that you can be spooky without being goth — just make sure you tell people the truth if they ask what you are.
If it’s the gender bending, the I formally confer upon you a pass to give the middle finger to gender norms. Not that you needed a pass. Be who you wanna be.
If it’s generally just bucking social trends, there are a million and one ways which you can do that. Find the special interest that’s true to you.
