So I've been hearing some records and mixes that fall under the categories of "goth" (bauhaus, sisters of mercy, etc), and so far I've liked it but I'm not a big fan of the post-punk sound (it doesn't mean I hate, I actually like it but just not that interested), however looking for some recomendations from this sub I came across with this band: The Last Dance. I know that their other records are darkwave but I liked the sound of their debut album. So, can you recommend me some other albums with similar sound or composition/songwriting like this album?. I will be watching your answers.

Also, do you think they fit in the goth music criteria?

If so, what do you think?

I think they are good but they haven't grown on me yet

Every other post is someone having an identity crisis or complaining about their families/communities not appreciating their gothness. I just want to make sure everyone knows it’s supposed to make you feel good to listen to music you enjoy and wear the style of clothes you like. It isn’t that deep.

When you put it into perspective, it’s kind of a shallow thing to complain about. There are people in the world being persecuted for things completely outside their control. You have the privilege of going out looking like a freak, knowing full well it will provoke a reaction from people, and then you get to take it off at the end of the day.

If you’re that sensitive, don’t even bother. I personally only get gothed up to go to my local goth night once in a blue moon. I don’t want to be stared at everyday for dressing like a weirdo. I’m an adult with bigger things to worry about.

i wanna get into goth music but people keep recommending me 10 minutes songs

I've been interested in the goth subculture for a while, a few days ago, I decided to listen to the music and, omg, I've feel in love with it, I've easliy spend several hours just listening to goth music, it's one of my favorite genres now and I'm even planning on watching some goth movies. I'm also planning on dressing in goth style, but here's the problem, I'm mostly an indoors person, so I've very few friends and the only people I talk with frequency is my family. I decided to reveal my interests and my plan for my goth outfit today, expecting support and unfortunaley, as you've guessed, all I was meet with is mockery, harsh judgement and them claiming them won't help me with anything, they even said that I'll look "horrifiying" or a "freak" or even saying stuff like "imagine you going out like this in public, looking like a vampire, if you want it, fine, but let's agree that's weird and I don't want any part of that", this has made me very sad and also very lonely, it's makes me think that I'll never meet someone that respects or have the same interests as me and that people are only going to see me as a "weirdo" (not helping that I've only meet like, 2 alt ppl besides me in my entire life), I can't put in words how this has broken my heart. I'm planning on revealing my goth interests to my very few friends, I hope they understand me and don't judge or mock me. Sorry in case my english is broken (I'm brazilian) and sorry for the long post, I just wanted to vent

In The Flat Field was the one that got me into goth, after discovering Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus.

Dark Entries, Stigmata Martyr, and Double Dare got me hooked.
