Teen Gothic

Only just started to lean into goth music with Joy Division and The Cure cause I wanted to get to know the inspirations and fundaments first, but I’m really enjoying it so far, and absolutely love the lyrics on Unknown Pleasures which I know isn’t really Goth but thought it was still worth mentioning.

Most the music I listen to are Folk music like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Ani DiFranco and Jewel, all artists known as amazing songwriters, Cohen and Drake especially with some of their very dark lyrics. They all tap into really specific feelings, ideas and experiences in very powerful ways, and I want to see if I can find that in this genre. Any suggestions?

edit: grammar

I don’t know if anybody else does this, but sometimes when the usual gothic rock bands from the US and the UK isn’t doing it for me, I’ll look up gothic bands from other countries. Mexico, Japan, France, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Germany to name a few. In fact I’m currently trying to familiarize myself with the gothic bands of Mexico. I love trying to find new bands and artists in the genre that I haven’t heard of.

My dumb band (Oracion Funebre) is playing this fest later this year. Really killer line up. Dea’throck galore.

hello everyone!! I'm pretty new to this subreddit (and a little new to the goth subculture although I listen to the music literally everyday lol). anywho I was wondering what quotes I could use for my senior yearbook picture? Preferably I'd like to use a song lyric but I think a quote from classic gothic literature would be hella cool too (something like Frankenstein or Dracula)! If anyone has suggestions, PLEASE help a ghoul out by putting them below!! The Cramps, Joy Division, Lebanon Hanover, and Sisters of Mercy are my favs rn so if I could get a quote from them that would be extra awesome! thanks so much 🙂

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Feb 29th is my deadline lmao
