Teen Gothic

Gonna be a lot of Theater Of Pains in here but I just want to say that the best for me is the very newest one. Evil Becomes Rule. A sin? That's fine. It sounds so much like a band rocking but still so dark and not retro sounding. Guitar has hardly any, if any, effects on it which seems to be what I want in goth rock.

So, as many of you may know… The Shaggs are one of the best (worst really), bands of all time. They basically were forced by their father to play music, having no real talent and desire to play and basically their music is horrible. I mean I personally love them and will defend them to the death as one of the best bands to have ever existed. But yeah, their musicianship is shit and to the average listener, they probably couldn't listen past the first 15th second of their record.

Having said that, my question to you is this. Are there any goth bands out there similar to this? Just a really, really bad goth band that is just some weird cult following, which was built/made out of some weird circumstance like The Shaggs, where for whatever reason, even though they aren't very good, had continued to play and gig and now are some weird novelty/cult following goth band that only the really cool goth kids know about?

Ok Thanks! 🙂

Looking specifically for lesbian goth songs but any lgbtq+ related songs would be appreciated as well

Gethsemane were formed by Katie Helsby and Ian Palmer. After some lineup changes vocalist Porl Morgan is recruited and the lineup is complete, they released only two eps (dark hour, watch and pray) and two singles (here and now, switch) between '92 and '95. I'm curious about this band since I heard they had a very similar sound to rosetta stone and they were called "rosetta clone" because of the similarity they had. There are only 3 songs uploaded and I tried to get the tapes but there is nothing avaible on discogs

Who was at Whitby Goth Weekend back in the 90s? Please share your memories and what it was like!

I can’t recommend “I Saw Nothing Good So I Left” By Bragolin enough. Definitely check them out on YouTube or Spotify. Wherever you can find the album.

Siouxie and the Banshees & Bauhaus are my 2 favourites right now. I just want to dance in an abandoned graveyard under a full moon, with no one for miles. Its such a special vibe that I've never ever had with any other music.

Please give me more artists/bands reccomendations! Or you could tell me your favorite songs from the either that I've listed!
