Introduce yourself and tell us about who you are, where you're from and what brought you here!

As your group leader, I'll start:

Name's Michaela. I'm pushing 30 years of age but I ain't there quite yet...I identity as a weirdo who's dabbled in Goth, Punk, Rockabilly, Mori-Kei and a variety of pagan traditions. I'm nestled snugly in the queer community as a demi-girl. I have a pretty well-rounded wealth of knowledge when it comes to alternative life styles. I started this group because there didn't seem to be any well structured groups for alternative folks to hang out in and share their stories....so I hope this works out for some of you!

Rumeur | 16 comments Hi Michaela! My name is Rumeur & I'm from the boring state of PA!! Wacky weather, uptight politicians & generalized boring state!
Ummmm I'm older than you! I've reached the hill & coming down fast in age
I was always the girl in school who dyed my hair different colors with jello!! Way before funky colored hair was the "in thing" I was known as the punk rocker. I had my goth stage as well but when I found out trying to dye your hair another color after you dyed it black needed to be grown out---I let it grow out & my hair never knows what color it wants to be yet!
I like mostly alternative music but I grew up in 70's & 80's so old school rock is still on my playlist
I got here to this group from your invitation & thank you very much
I look forward to meeting others both younger &....I don't know if there's any older lol. I can be the granny punker here because age is just a # not how I feel or act!

Camille Dent (thecamillion) | 6 comments Hello, everyone! Looks like a delightful crowd so far ^.^ My name is Camille, and I am currently studying in Mississippi to be a teacher! I will turn 20 this year, but I love my birthday for reasons other than self-celebration. I was born on the Day of the Dead (Nov 2)! I love foreign, religious, and gothic culture, so I pride myself in being born on a day that incorporates all of that. I love literature, video games, culture, makeup, fashion, and crafting! Can't wait to get to know the rest of you better!

Wren  (wrenreaders) Hi, I'm Wren (my legal name is Julia but I am going to change it to Wren) I am Canadian! I am also pansexual and genderfluid, and I don't care what pronouns you use (he, she, they). I am also eclectic wiccan with agnostic tendencies, I am a cat ( and general animal ) lover, and I love gothic, punk, and alternative styles of music, clothes, etc. I love to read (duh) and I am a fan of horror movies.
Human rights is one of my passions. So is writing. I hope to become a published author someday!
I've had a lot of bad experiences but I've survived! If you ever need to talk, message me and I'll try to help you through your hard times.

Welcome!


message 7: by Alice (new)

Alice Woods | 1 comments Hey I'm Alice! I'm from Utah, raised Mormon but has just began my path as a witch.
I'm into alternative, emo, punk, post-hardcore music, and also kpop.
I also like the lolita Japanese street fashion, along with goth. So I am slowly becoming a gothic lolita.
I love to read, sew, design clothes, play video games, and enjoy nature. Also I am a huge animal lover!
I suffer from lots of physical and mental issues that have made me kinda shut out from the world.
I don't even want to talk about my sexuality. Mostly because I don't know or want to admit to myself what I am.
My life has been one hell after another but I am trying to fix all that.
Anyways, nice to meet you all! :)

Welcome Alice, nice to have you!


message 10: by Libia (new)

Libia Fibilo | 1 comments Hi every one!

My name is Delio, I am 26 and writing from Italy.

The education I went through in my early years got me acquainted with the most classic things: Bible, Homer, Virgil, Dante and classical music.

Growing up it was evident something was unlinear.

Except for the deaths around, and the whole psychological thriller my family and acquaintances were, I myself had something to begin with.

I loved everything I grew up with, just not everything in there. And the particulars made the differences.

Of the bible I liked the vindicative God of the old testament, and the poetry of the wisdom rather than the solemnity of the commandments.

Of Homer I liked the reign of Ades more than the benevolent gods, or, when I liked these latter, it was in an impious manner.

Of Virgil I liked the 6th book and the struggle of Dido, remaining indifferent to the glorious conquest of Aeneas.

Dante's inferno was fascinating, the purgatory interesting, the paradise boring.

Then I found the cruel genius of Lucan. From there on, I can resume the story until now.

The search for the rare, the hidden, and the unusual is often attributed to a warped penchant for gratuitous strangeness and the expected feeling of extravagant joy that came with those bizarre revolutions.

However, when you participate in the dark rituals, ceremoniated in the secret of desolate places, you soon realize a double decline of the occult: the atrocious and the pleasant.

Some joyfully greet the sunlight or the artificial glow of a lamp, when they wake up after the atrocious ambiguity of dreams. If they wake up.

For others the Light is unbearable, unless it squeezes its tired rays after the restless call of darkness, suspended like its laughing echo. This joy is also mine. That of those who wouldn't rise from the abyss.

Greetings 🌃🖤🌚


message 11: by AT (new)

AT Demeter | 2 comments My name is Ashlynne. I confess I’m not a Goth but I do have a certain attraction to some things my family thinks is eccentric, weird, even macabre, so you sound a little like me. I even feel lonely and misunderstood at times not having someone who really understands or cares about what I like or how I think. (But don’t get me wrong, I’m loved anyway - that’s the most important thing.)
I’m 24. I’m the firstborn of 11 homeschooled kids. I’m not religious but am what people would call a child of Jesus. You can rest easy because I will never judge nor condemn anyone here nor shove my beliefs down your throats.
(Those are things I can’t bear in anyone, even fellow Christians.)
I’m glad to make your acquaintance and hope we can learn from and help each other somehow! 😊
