One of my friends was talking about some guy who approached her at mudhouse cafe He talked about her being a poser goth and that real goths go to some secret goth church Does anyone know anything about this?
Sounds like the guy was messing with/trolling your friend, trying to gatekeep the Goth subculture and exclude her from being "a real goth". You and your friend should ignore the fuck out of him.
He was gatekeeping. Tell your friend to continue enjoying the darker things in life however she wants.
Sincerely, A Gen-X Goth
Seconded! From another gen-xer with heavy Goth leanings.
As a true redneck and member of the Johnny Cash Fandom, if you need somebody to back you up when you decide to kick his teeth in with your awesome spiked boots, we got you.
Wait. You’re not into the James Killer Church of Goths?
If it's an organized religion, I'm definitely not into it.
Millennial Goth here! Don't let anyone tell you how to enjoy the culture. Anyone who cares that much is a bitch who is gatekeeping.
Well the real goths come from a certain region of France anything else is just sparkling Emos
This made me laugh harder than it should have
Wine joke. I enjoyed this immensely.
First rule of SGC (secret goth church) is we don’t talk about SGC!!!
Dammit Blu, that includes not telling everyone the first rule. This is the sixth time!
Sounds sus and totally made up. He was probably messing with your friend.
Everyone knows the Goth Church is held at the Hot Topic in the mall. I hear they churn out a few new goths every week.
"I once was found but now I'm lost"
"Was straight-edge but now I'm Gooooooooooth"
Suddenly having flashbacks to my goth high school days in the 90s when I gatekeeped wanna-be goths that only listened to Marilyn Manson and had no idea who the Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy were.
This is reminding me of a earlier post of someone’s missing brother who had some connection to a goth church
I remember that post, but I think she was referring to her brother's delusions, not that there actually was a church of the dragon-raven-god or whatever it was she mentioned.
What if they weren’t delusions!
There was also one about mysterious flyers on windshields at Walmart.
3spooky5me!
South Park did a special on this.
I’ve been thinking about starting my own secret goth church, but we’re all posers over here.
Sounds like a guy itching to rip off his tattoo bandage so you can see his Wednesday-Ortega.
I mean... we could run a Vampire the Masquerade LARP and call it goth church. I'm in.
Sounds like someone needs to quit telling people about Secret Goth Church. I told them it wouldn't stay secret for long if we let the emo and scene kids in.
I thought they closed Patton Alley Pub??
Sounds like mental illness bro
The first rule about secret goth church is.... we don't not tell the fake goths they're invited.
It’s a real thing but it doesn’t mean shit like any church.
Yeah. You are gonna need to elaborate. As I am the most goth person in this city in this city and have no clue what you are talking about
"It’s a real thing"
Expand on that.
That it actually is real.
Thats just restating what you already said. Tell me about it.
Basically it’s like a lot of these small religions. They actually meet at a dudes house and even have a “bible”. It’s weird shit
I'm not goth or anything, but I am fascinated by unique religions/mystic orders and collect prophecies and holy books the more fringe the better, any chance they allow visitors?
Good question. I’m not fully sure but I wouldn’t be surprised if they do.
If you end up in contact with them my PMs are open, thanks much!
And it's called "goth church" ? Or it'd called the holy order of the batcave? First church of our sisters of mercy ?
Not fully sure on the name honestly but I wouldn’t be surprised. I could ask my old buddy who used to belong before it got really weird.
Ok so it's not a goth church. It's just some weird cult
All church’s are basically cults honestly

The REAL Goths were conquered by the Byzantine Empire in the 700s and have since died out, so this guy is also a poser.
