I don’t know if this is vague or not, but I saw a post on another social media platform recently that got me thinking.

The post said something along the lines of: the first time I listened to sisters of mercy and alien sex fiend I fell in love and it felt like I was coming home.

And that got me thinking about how I got into goth. To be honest, it took awhile for me to adjust to goth music and nothing really appealed to me for a long time, until I searched for long enough and found stuff that was actually good. And even now, I don’t really think of it as “home” or some sort of “first love” or anything really sentimentally propped up an a pedestal, it’s just something I like that expresses who I am the best.

Does anyone else feel like me? Or do you disagree? What is goth music to you?
