Teen Gothic

I’m trying to learn French and I was wondering if there’s a lot of French-language goth music.

In the last two years it seems like there’s been a heavy shift in darkwave bands just going either full synthwave or spooky disco.

I mean.. I know Love Will Tear Us Apart was on Billboards Disco chart back in 1980, but cmon..

At first I was intrigued but now I’m just bored. Wondering if anyone has thoughts on this

When I was young, about three-four-years a go I was a goth which nobody forgot. I wore black and metal and I was fabulous and felt like so. It was three years ago when I wanted( or wished) to get rid of my look and be like an average mom. And I hate it now. This is not what I meant to be. Now that I have a child of my own I feel it is my responsibility to look something that I’m not so social workers don’t contact me. I hate that. I have a job and a loving partner but something is missing. I want to be me again. How? I don’t know because we live in a small municipality. I want to feel free again.

Show us what you've DIY (Do It Yourself) lately! Be it clothes, painting, maybe a Andrew Eldritch lookalike?

So this doesn't include the obvious; ebay, amazon, discogs, garage sales sites. What are some places, companies, distros and labels that tend to have low prices, good variety and really good deals on physical goth music, mainly cds. Problem with discogs and the like is that you easily end up paying hundreds of dollars for a few albums, which may not even be rare, when you could be saving.

Hello everyone,

The subreddit grows every single day and so do the posts, so we think it's about time we introduced a band blacklist, albeit a small one.

Frankly, we're quite tired of being seen as the subreddit who thinks "only 5 bands from the 80s are goth" or that we "don't accept anything other than traditional goth bands". We've seen this many times from users in the past and we can only assume that they are only sorting the subreddit as 'hot'.

So from today, the following list of bands are banned from being posted on the subreddit, except for on Throwback Thursday:

• Bauhaus
• Siouxsie and the Banshees
• The Cure
• The Sisters of Mercy
• Joy Division
• Christian Death
• Cocteau Twins
• Dead Can Dance

'Throwback Thursday' can be used for any releases pre-2000s, as our new Modern Music Monday is for post-2000s. This doesn't mean you can't post other 80s, 90s, 00s, 2010s and 2020s bands outside of these days, but do keep the blacklisted bands only on Thursday's.

This list isn't final and we will review the influx of band every so often, to determine if anything needs to be added or dropped from the list.

Posts from these bands on days other than Thursday's are only accepted if:

• It is a rare or recently recorded live version of a performance
• It is a new release e.g. song, EP, album, etc. Excluding remastered versions
• It is about a new tour or reunion
• An anniversary of a release or even a band members birthday

By implementing this new rule, we hope that new, obscure, and underground bands and albums can get a little bit more recognition and attention that they deserve.

​

If you're new, confused, and have never heard any of the above artists, please note that you can reach baby bat/beginner recommendation material through our Wiki on our Music Menu, which recommends tailored playlists. Additionally, you can still use the 'Classic Song' flair which songs from the bands above should come under.

​

Since this is a new rule, please comment any questions you may have or anything that you want clarifying.
