🧷🖤🥀Alternative/Goth/Punk/Metalhead Youtubers🥀🖤🧷

I've recently started exploring Goth music and culture and as a result have been sifting through YouTube channels; I've watched some for years, and others I just found or rediscovered within that last year. I decided to make a list because YouTube's search function is absolute trash and I wanted to share what I think are great alternative YouTubers.

Rattus Rattus @RattusRattus

Their name is Rabbit and they make a lot of diy focused content as well as vlogs, lookbooks, grwms, doll collecting, and thrift videos.

My favorite video of theirs is "Latest Diys and Mends..." The video showcases pieces they've mended, up cycled, dyed, etc. They have A LOT of variety in their content, mainly focused on punk and goth. They are very talented with making clothing and jewelry. Very fashion based. Long form; typically 45min-1hr long videos. Posts frequently.

Kitty Kochan @KittyKochan

Her name is Ko and posts a variety of "goth tik tok reactions", outfits ideas, reactions to media with gothic themes, hauls, as well as tattoo tours and q&a videos.

My favorite videos of hers so far has been "Discover Goth Music With Me...". It's just as the title says; she digs through Spotify recommendations to discover more goth artists/bands. (She has a great playlist that is linked in the video). Simple video, but very nice and I wish more alternative YouTubers would do music related videos in this manner. Goth focused. Her videos can range from short to long depending on the subject matter; 8-30min typically. Posts frequently.

One of few goth poc creators who are actively posting.

Alyssa Rayn @alyssarayn

One of my favorite YouTubers and one that gave me a push to start really getting into goth bc I just think she's cool dude. Her name is Alyssa and she makes a lot of reaction content, mostly of trends and discussions regarding goth and the way it's portrayed online. She also does grwms, unboxings, q&a videos, and has a gaming channel.

I initially found her through the "Snog, Marry, Avoid Goth Edition" video in which she reacts to an episode of a British TV show that featured another YouTuber, Emily Boo. Focused more on goth than metal. 10-30min vids. Normally posts twice a month but she disappeared 4 months ago and I'm very sad about it.

Madi Danger @MadiDanger

When I think deathrocker, I picture Madi with her deathhawk and hearse. She makes videos about anything and everything related to goth, metal, and punk; from music recommendations and debunking stereotypes, to physical media (vinyl, VHS, betamax, cassettes,) and Diys. Always informative and entertaining.

The first videos of her that I watched were, "Intro to Goth," and "Harmful Goth Stereotypes." Both are great videos for music suggestions and unlearning misconceptions. Equally focused on punk, goth, and metal. Short form videos, mostly under 10mins and posts YouTube shorts as well. Has a very "old YouTube" vibe. Usually posts non-short videos once a month.

That's it. If you read this far, thank you! I plan to make this a series and would also like recommendations for other alt YouTubers, especially if they are poc.
