Teen Gothic

I'm looking for some good female led goth bands, preferably darkwave/coldwave, but other subgenres are fine too. By female led I mean a girl as the lead vocalist, or even goth girl bands. Oh, and I already know about Siouxie and the Banshees so no need to recommend it lol

Feel free to post in here your most listened to Spotify songs, artists, etc.

Since I get to know about this subculture, I'm almost in good terms with myself. Its the first time in my life that I'm actually embracing myself and my likes. Its the first time I actually feel good with myself and my home (since I am able to decorate it the way I like) I was always called a psychopath and crazy for obsessing over anime characters like Jeff the Killer or Isaac Foster (there actually quite goth like… 🫣🖤) or for having a sweet spot for the dark, horror and obscure. It came mostly from my toxic mother and I believed her. I was always different from the others and never fit in (trust me. I'd tried as hard I could and tried to be as normal as possible. It only made me depressive.) I almost lost my mind and my life too. The music and subculture found me and saved me and is teaching me to embrace myself. Since I know about people who are just like me, I start to like myself. I still have a long way ahead but with this, It might be not as hard as I thought so.

I saw the flyer for Sick New World and instantly bought tickets after I saw London After Midnight, She Wants Revenge and most importantly Sisters of Mercy were playing there.

I'm a big fan of all their shit, but recently I watched one of their 2022 live performances for the first time and saw that they don't even have a drummer or a bassist anymore; but instead 2 young flashy guitarists and some guy on a laptop, all the songs sounded really disappointing. The band just doesn't work without bass/drums and it made me sad as balls hearing them play Lucretia my Reflection without the bassline

I thought I saw somewhere that the original band was getting back together for Sick New World, maybe in an Instagram comment, but I can't find anything online. Does anyone know if they're going to have drums and bass for this event? cause if not I don't know if I want to ruin the band for myself by seeing them live if they sound like what I heard

I know goth is a music genre and the subculture is primarily based around the music. I love goth music- I got into it 4 years ago and get so exciting discovering new and old bands. I’ve been to a few events and concerts and have felt so happy and at home every time.

However, I don’t dress in what people would consider “goth” most days. I’m not very good at makeup and though I want to learn I haven’t had time to really lately. And I do have a lot of band tees and some nice black dresses or fishnets but I mostly end up wearing a lot of plaid shirts and blue or black jeans. I wish I could connect with other people who dress goth but I can’t afford to change my whole wardrobe and I do like some other styles. Does anyone else feel like this at all?
