-go thrifting and DIY basic shit into ultra-goth ensembles
-dress up as if you’re headed to m’era luna and walk around your city, mall, or town
-befriend your local goth club dj in attempt to get into goth club
-get sad when said plan fails
-go to any and all any-age goth events you can find!!
-dye your hair, cut your bangs, tease that shit, hairspray it until its stickin straight up in the air
-enjoy yourself!!

– Practice different make-up and hair styles (extra fun if you try to copy an icon, e.g. Siouxsie or Robert Smith)
– Look up instructions for DIY Halloween decorations…
– …make said decorations…
– …and turn your room into a haunted house!
– Practice how to make Halloween-themed snacks, like spiderweb cupcakes
– Pretty much just have a Halloween party at your house any time of the year
– Look up instructions on how to make your own patches (it’s easy and fun!), bat hair bows, or spiderweb necklaces
– Create moodboards and inspiration collages of themes and people whose aesthetic appeal to you
– Find out if there are any haunted places near you and explore them if you dare
– The Addams Family TV show marathon will never let you down
– Embrace your clichés, as @gothiccharmschool would say

– have a dye-athon where you and friends dye all your clothes black together.  I-dye Poly works on synthetic clothing.
– make paper dolls of your favorite looks
– go as goth as you can on christmas eve while your family eats popcorn and watches A Christmas Story downstairs. 
-Feed your local crows or ravens and try to befriend them.  hint- they really like cashews and sweet blue berries. And scrambled eggs.
-Offer to dress up your friends who are not goth in goth clothes so they can see how fun it is.
