Teen Gothic

Hey, I'm a college student and have been very busy the past few weeks if not not months already. Lately, to help focus my mind while also calming my nerves to entertain me at the same time,( if that's a normal thing others can relate to or it's just a me thing, it just something that I've done recently). It helps but I've only been listening to video game soundtracks/songs such as LoZ:MM, ESV:Skyrim, and LiS obstacles by Syd Matters. I wanted to switch it up a bit and see if there are any goth songs from bands or maybe even albums that help you focus or give a sense of calm while letting you stay grounded but levitated in a way, ya know? Or at least I hope so.

To be a little bit more helpful, something along the lines of neoclassical(darkwave), etherealwave, hell even simple gothic instrumentals may do. Just something goth or gothic will do. Thanks!

I've only been in the goth community for a bit now and the same could also be said for the metal community and I was wondering just this week if I could be both simultaneously or I just had to settle on one because if I did I would be torn between the both. I really love both sub-cultures because of how unique they both are and I really like the history behind it too. I'm not looking for a complex answer but one would be heavly appriciated.

Last weekend i was going trough my older music library and came across old Cinema Strange albums. Tried to see if they were in spotify, and only found one of their songs in some random collection album. Googled around, but didn't really find anything, as if they suddenly just stopped without any reason sometime around 2006. So anyone here know what/why and if they still exist in some form today? Just curious, because used to listen to them almost daily back in the beginning of 2000s.

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.

Hello! So i have fallen head over heels with Ethereal Wave. But i have been trying to find bands that have more of a similar sound like Black Tape for A Blue Girl and Dead Can Dance. More specifically “A Serpants Egg”. Any suggestions?
