It’s the battle of decades. How do Gen Z and Millennials define goth differently, has goth lost it’s mystery and magic when we can access everything online, what makes us cringe, where does each group stand on gatekeeping and politics, how do we go about including new genres of music under the goth umbrella, why do my knees hurt when I wake up in the morning? All this and more on this months episode of Cemetery Confessions!

Our guests are Caitlyn of Corlyx and Kayla of Scum

Why did goths change the way they interacted with outsiders after Columbine, why was fashion of the time starkly different from today, why was gatekeeping part of the scene in the first place, and why weren’t goths allowed to smile before 2010. All this and more as we walk through the story of goth in the late 90’s and early 2000’s with a panel of goths who lived through it.

Our guests this month are Jessie Meowser, Jessica and Bruce Lord.
