Teen Gothic

(r/deathrock won't let me post there because I'm not "active enough" on that sub)

Is there any "newer" deathrock bands that aren't just copying Bauhaus, Christian Death, or 45 Grave? Anyone with a unique sound that fits in this genre? Or even just more "rock" based goth music that is bass/guitar driven with more grit.Modern goth music thats unique and new has seemed to take a very electronic approach but I'm not seeing any Death Rock that's doing somthing new.

I feel im just finding bands that are super derivative. Is that just because the genre itself it too gatekeepy? Or is it just not popular enough? Maybe I'm just missing the really awesome bands? Maybe I'm just too head-up ass about what's "good"? Idk! You tell me.

People don't read anymore. I'm not talking about books or magazine/news articles (they don't read any of those either, why do that when a video can tell you stuff), I'm talking about things like basic instructions.

Take r/goth for example. The rules are clearly posted and if we have to remove a post we tell you why. People come storming into modmail or angery posting without reading why all the time. As a case in point we had a lot of Fashion Friday posts this week and most (if not all) will be culled. I am expecting a few who haven't read the rules or the removal reason to angery storm somewhere as most are from new people and lurkers.

And then there is post flairs. Sometimes it feels like the only flairs that exist are "Goth Club" and "Old School '80s" because people don't care enough to flair their posts right. Sure it may seem officious and anal retentive but there is method to it. You can search using the flairs so having things in the right flairs means your posts can be found. And you want to be heard and your post seen, otherwise why even post it?

So what's got you down/mad/annoyed/angery/enraged this week? Goth related or not it's all good here. But the goth stuff does get more attention as it should. Pro tip there.

Been trying to find cheap local shows and the internet is absolutely not helping out at all. Tell me your ways.
