This is what kids call goth now?

Goth used to be all Satan and death and sometimes kittens.

Is it all kittens now?

Goth is now just what the E-Girls with black lipstick call themselves. Gone are the days of Bauhaus, true Goth is with Bela Lugosi now.

Same happened to punk, just 20yr ago. And it'll happen to your subgenre!

Nah, real goths are still around. We still listen to all the classics, and most of those genres are still alive and have newer albums. Some of the newish (or thriving) goth genres are: minimal synth, witch house, neofolk, dark jazz, dark trap, deathstep, electropunk/synth punk. We're just lurking in the shadows, which is kinda an obvious place for us to be when you think about it 😉
