Teen Gothic

Idk if this is the right place to point this out but I find it incredibly ironic that people have so many stereotypes about goths that are wrong. The subculture as a whole is just unbelievably misunderstood. As someone who is only very recently coming into this subculture, I've noticed this so much. And the overwhelming sense of community and openness is not something that is often portrayed about goths in pop culture, but it really seems like a defining feature. Everyone I have interacted with has been so kind and warm. <3

Does anyone else notice this or see how it impacts people around them's perceptions irl?

I’m making a playlist so does anyone know goth songs, or alternative rock in general about polyamory? Thanks for helping a buddy out🤓

In ancient days of yore I had a burnt cd with a playlist I can’t remember and a song I’ve struggled to track down. I would swear that I could remember some of the lyrics, but I’ve been unable to find a google result for them. I’m hoping someone might recognize it here.

The sound was a deep male voice singing with a kind orchestral echo. The track itself was this overproduced synth wave or darkwave kind of thing, trying to be epic and ethereal to match the subject matter. The narrative of the song was written from the perspective of Lucifer in a paradise lost kind of way. The snippets of lyrics I can remember, as I remember them, were something like as follows:

“As my wings crash into (through?) the ocean/I will love you though I’ve lost my honor/ remember me in glory/ not on (locked in?) fire eternally”

“Freedom is much deeper than the sea”/“pride (something something) from the heart of me”

I went down a few rabbit holes chasing after it. I thought maybe it was VNV nation or something but that wasn’t it. The actual burnt CD was labeled “angels in exile” but I don’t know that that has anything to do with it. Some googling of the premise took me to Regenerator, but while it’s a close vibe it’s not the same band.

Any help would be vastly appreciated. This has been driving me nuts for weeks.

Hey all, I saw someone made a previous post about this but it's a year old now and there's so many bands coming out now…for some reason I just can't find many goth bands with trans members and/or songs about the trans experience. Do you guys know any?

Would love to see transmascs/trans men personally too since they're even less represented and I've come up with 0 bands!!

Thank you for any recs in advance:)
