🖤 ​​By the scene, for the scene.
Not a corporate product.
DarkSwipe is a community and dating platform for alternative subcultures—made by people from the scene, not a corporation.
Community access for ages 16 and up. Dating and matchmaking for ages 18 and up.
Gothic, Metal, Punk, Industrial, Medieval, LARP, Gaming, Dark Academia, and other scenes. No mainstream pressure, no pigeonholing.
🖤 COMMUNITY
Feed, groups, events, map, and community chat. Find friends and like-minded people—not just dates. Exchanges take place publicly in the community; private 1:1 chats are only available after Connecting or Wave.
💬 COMMUNITY CHAT
Topics, experiences, voice. The scene meets here—not in an algorithm-driven feed.
🎪 EVENTS & GROUPS
Concerts, parties, LARP, conventions, and scene meetups. Local groups without needing three apps.
💘 DATING (18+)
Optional. Swipe and match only if there's mutual interest. Dating is disabled for those under 18—the community still functions.
💰 WHY DOES THE APP COST ANYTHING?
One-time purchase, no subscription required for access:
• Fewer bots, disposable accounts, and abuse
• Servers, moderation, development, and updates
Buy once, use permanently. Web access remains free. Optional Premium is extra—not a bouncer.
👑 PREMIUM (optional)
See who likes you, who has viewed your profile, undo, ghost mode, full map, images and voice chat, no ads. Premium does not buy access to the app.
🔞 AGE
Community 16+. Dating 18+. Not permitted for those under 16. Respect is required.
Dating and community for metal, punk, gothic and alternative scenes
