I'm not goth at all, and not really into industrial music (NIN being a big exception, and maybe a few Marylin Manson songs) But I've been thinking of going to a Goth/Industrial dance club dressed. Not sure what I'd wear to fit in a little bit there...maybe heavier eye make-up and I guess maybe a black dress with fishnets....
What I am curious about if that crowd is cool with The trans community?
Does anyone frequent them...are they safe to go by yourself?
Any suggestions or comments?
Can't speak for Tenn., but in general many goth or fetish clubs are accepting of T-girls.

Go to one or two and you will quickly see that you will be the last person to "stand out" even for those places.
From some of the places I have seen, it seems like they take pretty much anybody and everybody.

Sisters of Boston girls are now frequenting a goth club and enjoying themselves with black on.Total acceptance from what I hear. Dress in the right colors and enjoy yourself!
I have seen a handful of CD/TS at my local industrial club. Hell I've been their dressed myself. It was a great time, I blended right in.
Even though there is a lot of negativity in the music, you'll find the Goths are very accepting and nice folks. If you search around here ( try the clothing forum first ) you'll find threads about what to wear and what looks "goth-y" in terms of makeup. Plus, there are a bunch of goths hanging around here, ask 'em
There is a road—no simple highway—between the dawn and the dark of night.
And if you go no one may follow. That path is for your steps alone.
I thought industrial was stuff like Neil Diamond?
And CD'ing at a goth club? I don't know, the people there tend to wear suits and ties. Everyone has a seat and the chevron guy (what is he called?) passes out music programs.
Yeah, umm, believe me? Wanna buy some land at the bottom of Lake Michigan too?
At a goth club, you will go unnoticed, no one will bat an eye.
It takes a true Erin to be a pain in the assatar.
Well, I'm from Detroit, but I know the goth/industrial clubs around here are pretty accepting. I used to go in make-up (not fully dressed, but made up pretty nice) and nobody ever even seemed to notice. Of course, that was a few years back...Originally Posted by becca1125n
Great scene.............. Always accepting!
Goth/industrial scene was where I first started - brought my outfit with me and got changed there. Had no problems whatsoever
Still today @ city club no one batted an eye.
Well at least one eye was batted, there was a poor misguided frat boy who grabbed my butt, but the joke was on him. As his friends and him found out.
Oh, you go to City Club too? I used to be a regular... but these days not so much. I didn't go dressed, though, just wore some make-up.
Not too very often I usually am in guy mode. But I have gone in my dreads, goggles and mini. I think that was the best time I had there. I was a late bloomer in the goth community.
Yeah, i've been to city club in detroit a few times as jasmine. Never had any trouble. Everyone was totally cool with me.
So I like dressing like girl. BIG DEAL!
The clubs I've been to have given me a nice environment in which to express myself. I've found that people in these alternative clubs are quite respectful of trans issues. I've been a model in several fetish fashion shows which take place in goth/industrial clubs and had great experiences.
Some goth attire from hot topic, or a nice corset with fishnets is all you'll need.
