Teen Gothic

I used to sort all my music by genre on Spotify, but ever since I got into goth music, my singular “goth” playlist has ballooned into hundreds of songs without much organization.

So my question is, do you organize your goth playlists by bands? Albums? Subgenre? What your favorite goth songs are at the moment vs what is overplayed that you can’t bear to delete off?

I recently found out that I love goth music. I mostly listen to Corpus delicti, twin tribes, Bragolin, Linea Aspera, Bauhaus.

I had a tendency to dress in black clothes (I know that dressing in black does not makes an outfit gothic) since I was a child.

I do not feel like I should label myself as goth. I am sayingthis bc there is an high probability that after a few months of listening constantly to goth music I will be tired of this tyle of music and I do not want to consider myself goth and then after half an year I won't even listen to this genre.

It happened to me that I listened to a genre for a few months like a crazy amount of time and then, on one day I just stopped listeningto that type of music.

And for some reason I feel unease when I see these gothic outfits that a lot of goth people wear.

So is it ok to just listen to this type of music whitout labeling myself as goth ? And maybe incorporating some ideas from goth outfits into my own style ?

For some reason people around my age ( 19-20 yo ) either call others posers if people just want to listen to goth music whitout other implications posers, or they just sexualize this subculture.

Am I a poser if I listen to goth music without labeling myself as goth ?

I've decided to start a game where people will comment and vote for their favourite goth albums from A to Z! Here are some rules and explanations.

Must be goth. Read the rules/FAQ/wiki.

One band per letter. I'd like to try to give recognition and appreciation to as many bands as possible. Don't just suggest the bands everybody has heard of many times.

It doesn't have to strictly be an album! Could be an EP for bands who have never officially released any albums.

Let me know of you have any further questions!

Now then, what is the best/your favourite album that starts with A?

Searched everywhere and can’t find lyrics for nearly the whole of the Tragedia Nosferata album so decided to start trying to transcribe it. Started with Taste of Night and fairly confident we got everything correct but wondering if anyone else has already done this? What are your thoughts does it sound correct or got any suggestions/corrections? https://youtu.be/oZUXKF-svAo?feature=shared
