Teen Gothic

Hey guys! What are your favorite ethereal bands from the last decade? Also if you don't mind could you please suggest some of your fav songs from each one? 😄 Thanks for reading!!! 🙏

Check out this video I did for Twin Tribes. I shot this when they came to Southern California. I followed them around for 3 nights! San Diego, Los Angeles, & Costa Mesa. If you were at these shows last year you might see yourself!

I'm planning on having a Halloween wedding and I want to have a good mix of goth music in the reception playlist. I'm fairly new to the scene so would y'all have any suggestions for goth love songs that are about healthy, successful relationships?😂 Of course I already have Lovesong and Last Beat of my Heart but I'm trying to avoid songs like Love Will Tear Us Apart because it's a bit too negative for a wedding. I lean towards post-punk, dark wave, and ethereal!

Want to chat about something which doesn't need it's own thread? Do it here!

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

After seeing Testament (they/them) announced for Guilty Gear Strive, I felt like we needed a goth character appreciation thread here. What are some of your favorite goth characters in fictional media, be it movies, tv, anime, etc?

Some of my favorites are: Misa Amane from Death Note, V from Devil May Cry, and Matt Miller from Saints Row (he's more of a cybergoth than trad but I still count him).

A few honorable not-so-goth-but-close mentions are Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes (wears a joy division parody shirt and references post-punk music) and Gaige from Borderlands (some of her skins reference post-punk bands, but she's definitely more punk than goth).

Sorry if this is not fit for this sub, not too sure if this belongs in r/goth or r/gothfashion (since most of these characters dress goth but might not be into the music).

While it is still low, there seems to be a number of goths or those that claim to be who are openly anti-trans. I wouldn't say its just limited to opinions on the use of pronouns but on all trans identities directly.

Do you think it has the potential to become problematic? How do you view this? Is it mostly online in your opinion? I personally think it's low and mostly online.

In the 90s/2000s there was very fringe death in june and neo-folk/powerelectronics fans, and even rarer officially traditionally conservative or far right actual goths, who sometimes were open about their views in goth clubs. Outside of these people, you'd occasionally stubble upon open homophobia and racism, a bit more than today (hard to asses that properly to be fair), but in the last 5 years or so it was mostly people who at least for the most part barely knew enough about the music spouting alt-right talking points from the internet and claiming to be "goth"

I've just noticed this anti-trans thing, which is barely a thing, in the last year or so. What are your thoughts?
