Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

Just started listening to Christian Death and I’m really enjoying them!! What is your favorite song by them so I can put together a playlist 🙂

I'm new to the goth scene, and I'm more into darkwave (and a little aggrotech) than some other gothic genres. Am I still goth?

Hello, I'm looking for goth bands or albums with bass lines that stand out. For example, in my opinion, Disintegration (The Cure) have amazing bass lines and Volume 2 (Bauhaus) too. I'm also interested in some songs recommendations (still with great bass lines) but I'm mainly looking for album or artists (from any era).

Baby bat in need of help. So I’m going to visit my parents in Virginia. They live in the Alexandria/DC area. Anyone know any fun or cool spots in the that area? I’m talking like sightseeing, cool shops, events in the next few months, clubs, general stuff like that.

bored of nu-metal and alt rock. put me onto some cool goth music please ❤️ i will literally listen to every song

I’m writing a script, and I wanted to include a scene where a surgeon listens to music while performing an operation. I wanted to not have them listen to opera or classical music, which I feel is a really common thing in movies and television. Any good recommendations?

Hi all. I’m 18 with a 9 y/o sister, soon to be 10, and she’s very interested in what music I listen to and goth fashion. I’ve shown her videos of “40 Years of Goth Style” and things like that because she wanted to know about “different kinds of goth outfits”, and she said she liked a lot of the songs that were playing, so I showed her some of my favorite music too.

Our mom isn’t really the profanity police in music, it’s more about the context of the profanity than the word itself. For example, she let my 9 and 5 y/o sister listen to a few Melanie Martinez songs that had some swear words because she appreciated the message of the songs. Her whole philosophy is that music is how you express yourself and is an art form, so a couple bad words doesn’t necessarily overshadow that, given the subject matter of the song isn’t too age-inappropriate. They already know not to repeat those words anyway lol

A few songs I’ve already showed my sister that she liked include:

-Keep Your Eyes Peeled- ULTRA SUNN -Cities in Dust- Siouxsie and the Banshees -Various Molchat Doma songs -The Perfect Girl- both the Mareux cover and the original by the Cure -Love Will Tear Us Apart- Joy Division -Bela Lugosi’s Dead- Bauhaus -Gallowdance- Lebanon Hanover -Personal Jesus, Never Let Me Down Again- Depeche Mode -True Faith, Blue Monday- New Order -Sacrifice- London After Midnight -Goo Goo Muck- The Cramps

Some of the songs fit the parameters of goth more than others but I was trying to show her a range of music that captures different elements of goth while still being appropriate for her haha

Any more recommendations for her? She always looks forward to hearing new songs!
