Teen Gothic

I am obsessed with that song. I love the opera-esque vocals and the atmosphere of it. It sort of gives me the same vibe as Even in Death by Evanescence (I know Evanescence isn't goth lol). I would love recommendations for songs with a similar vibe by any band. I couldn't find any other songs by Fields of Nephilim that I liked as much as Mourning Sun, even on the same album, but I haven't heard all their songs yet.

Do you guys have any recommendations for goth bands that use readable lyrics regularly? I’m deaf and I’m having difficulty expanding my taste because a lot of bands that I want to listen to don’t really have accessible lyrics and I’d like to be able to understand the songs.

Here I am again, promoting an event in Hungary. As a matter of fact, in Hungary the goth scene has enjoyed a significant growth for the last 2-3 years. Now, we have really good bands and tons of quality shows (besides the obvious international acts touring Europe).

So, if you want to know more, here is a link Hungarian Dark Post Punk Playlist (Youtube) where you can learn more…. enjoy!

Or your least favorite breakup songs

I smile at every one of the "Please recommend bands" threads because I know someone is gonna mention either a band I haven't discovered yet or remind me of a gem I haven't spun in years. A few I've had to save so I don't forget to revisit, because they have too many recommendations for me to check them all out right now (damn this career….). After DJing since the mid-90s, there's still new bands to discover and it's like an endless gift. Especially with this time of year being so hard for so many, it's heartwarming to see the mutual respect and support here.

I spent most of my life repressing my autistic wants, needs, and ways of self-expression purely because I was told it would make neurotypical people "like me more" and "be less uncomfortable around me." Now that's over. I'm done with that shit.

At goth clubs I don't make facial expressions if I don't want to, stim in public, am not shamed for my "weird" interests, tell people they absolutely cannot touch me, am encouraged to truly feel and express my intense emotions, dress however the hell I want, and truly be myself without judgement. These safe spaces have made me grateful beyond words. Thank you all for being in this lovely community.

I made 2 other autistic goth friends, and we did the most ridiculous full body stimming (that could barely be described as dancing) for 5 hours straight with nothing but encouragement from those around us (: The very idea of stimming through bouncing, stomping, having t-rex hands/loud hands/raptor arms (which are very goth with certain dance moves), and flapping my hands in public even to a mild extent horrified me for years, but look where I am now! Confident and so happy

If there are any other goth autistic people in this sub, please share your stories and experiences (: <3
