Teen Gothic

Anybody know any “goth” covers of “non-goth” songs? I really enjoyed The Leather Nuns’ take on ABBA’s “Gimme Gimme Gimme”. I’m the kinda guy to love covers on nostalgic or even cheesy songs.

Thanks!

Edit: bonus points if the original song are polar opposites to the genre of the cover.

I got the opportunity to go see the Cure for my birthday, and everything about it was fantastic! We got to sit on the edge of the nosebleeds overhang, but eventually moved to the very back wall to dance since we wouldn't be bothering anyone up there and the view wasn't all that different (possibly even better since we could stand up!) They spaced out their more popular songs really well, and even played some songs they hadn't performed since the 80s, as well as new music😁The Twilight Sad was also really really good, so if you haven't heard of them definitely check out their music! They lean a bit more towards darkwave, so it was nice to contrast that with The Cure's more chill, atmospheric vibe from the first half of the show, which evolved to a more upbeat collection of their music. If you're on the fence about going, it's definitely worth it to see both bands, especially since the tickets are so affordable. Had a great time and Robert's still got the same incredible voice as when he recorded the songs❤️ https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-twilight-sad/2023/smoothie-king-center-new-orleans-la-6bb9a22a.html https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-cure/2023/smoothie-king-center-new-orleans-la-4bb9a38e.html

Hello, Im a french goth who is going to travel in London. Can you recommand me good goth places ? ( clothes shop, bar, club, curiosity shop.. ) thanks 🦇🖤

I went to see Sisters of Mercy last night and, while there, my friend (another goth) and I tried to make friends as we don't have a big scene where we live. Mind you, it wasn't like we were harrassing people during the show, we were making small talk at the bar before the show. The overwhelming experience we had was negative. Most people seemed genuinely upset that we spoke to them which is something my friend and I had never experienced. My friend asked someone about their hair color because it was similar to hers, and the goth she spoke to seemed annoyed. We gave up right before SoM came on and just kept to ourselves but it definitely left us feeling dejected.

Is this a normal experience in the goth community? We don't have any goth bars near us so this was really the only chance we had to meet other like minded people in the scene and I guess I'm just a bit sad with how it turned out.
