Teen Gothic

Oh the drama was real. Especially in the southwest states and Latin America.

I remember the emo kids getting their asses kicked by the metalheads on the daily, especially at concerts, where there was an emo/screamo band and metal band playing.

I recently watched that episode of South Park where the goth kids are frustrated at being mistaken for emos..

Like we were arch enemies or something.

I think they got it wrong there. I always thought emos and goths kinda lived in the same social bubble.

The emos ensured a huge backlash though that I don’t ever remember going through in the goth scene.

In Latin America, emos were literally being murdered in the streets. And in most of the southern, southwest states in the US, emos were scene as pussies and… damn it was like what’s going on these days with the trans backlash almost. Not nearly as publicized though.

Ramble over.

This has been bothering me like hell. I haven't found anything by personally googling and digging (that, and a huge chunk of goth bands don't seem to have lyrics up at all online – this seems to be one of those cases), so I figured this would be the best place to ask.

The only lyrics I managed to memorize are something like "Sorrow / Where the light shines for you / There's no tomorrow / You will sing me a(new? bruise?)". I'm almost certain it was second wave goth & something I've heard on the Nightbreed online radio before. It sounded very similar to Malaise, but I don't think it's actually them.

That said, I was plastered and have an auditory processing disorder. There's a very decent chance I'm missing something of note/getting things slightly wrong. If someone, by any chance, somehow recognizes this song, thank you so much in advance!

Cheers
