Teen Gothic

Here is one of the many goth/darkwave record store sections in Denver. This one is at Wax Trax in their new vinyl and CD building. Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Birthday Party were in the regular rock sections and there's an industrial spot next to this one. I picked up two Birthday Party and one Lebanon Hanover records.

OK I won't lie, I had no idea this was a music based culture till 2 months ago, but now that I'm listening to the music, now I'm noticing when I dress up (even in highschool) people would call me goth, what if I dressed like this and never listened to the music like I did in high-school, would that be an insult to the goth culture, do u think there should be an education system of goth culture vs stereotyping cuse u wear all black and spiked collars?

Hello

I am new to this music genre. I dunno what bands are there. I want to expand my listening genre playlist. I know that I like aetherial like vocals. In ways that is like a ghost singing to me. I like listening to some songs that have aetherial, otherworldly vocals. I want to know female fronted ones because they sound smoother to me. ANd I want to discover more femme artists.

So if you have some bands or singers in mind please comment.

Thank you for reading.

Cheers.

Hey y’all – super random but does anybody know any dark wave bands (other than The Church) that incorporates bagpipes?

Cemetery vocalist Danny Gallegos has sadly passed away. Let's remember him through the beautiful deathrock music he left the world with. 🥀

When I was new into goth, I noticed that I liked songs with those specific sounds, like Killing Joke – Love like Blood

then at some point I bought Diablo 2 and started a new game and heard that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-vG8oPhhM&t=13s (the mentioned sound is at 13-second mark)

and immediately thought it'd make a good riff in a goth rock song. Well, the rest of the music from Act 1 was also good and had many elements that could be incorporated into goth songs.

I'm wondering – are there some songs I'm unaware of, that incorporate those or similar sounds? Or maybe after so many decades someone actually made a goth cover of Diablo 2 music?
