Teen Gothic

I play bass and (if we are talking about post punk) i play alot of basslines from my favorite bands like TSOM, joy division, twin tribes and bauhaus. Any other band/song that has a great bassline?

A duo I've followed for a while, on a special night, with a bit of luck and the relief of being featured in one of their Instagram posts.

I had a chance to speak with Joel as they were saying goodbye, managing to catch his attention to mention, of course, that it was my birthday. Adding to the excitement was the fact that it was the first concert of this kind I'd ever been to (I can't afford to see my favorite artists, but seeing them perform in Chile, at a price I could actually afford, was rewarding). He then spoke to me directly and wished me a happy birthday. I was freaking out. I accidentally stepped on my phone because it was covered by a flag I'd brought and left on stage, taking advantage of being right up front. But I doubt anyone else cared about it, considering one of their favorite artists said something to their faces after they'd tried to get his attention.

I got the black guitar pick amidst a scramble for Joel's, while the pink one, which belongs to Luis, I couldn't get directly from him since he was throwing them around (he's clearly more reserved on stage). Instead, I got it thanks to one of the guys who works with them. He asked me, along with my dad (who was with me and managed to get his attention before the concert to tell him about the situation), if it was really my birthday before we left, and gave it to me as a gift. I was on the verge of tears. Oh my God, I was so paranoid going out; I thought my eyes were going to fall off at any moment.

But that's it. I wanted to share my experience, as it's a really nice memory that only increased my affection for these guys, whose music helped me escape some pretty tense situations. I also apologize if there are any mistakes in the text; English isn't my first language, so I'm relying solely on a translator.

Have a good night.

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.

Hi everyone, my apologies as this is my first post on this subreddit and also that I’ve already posted this to r/helpmefind, r/unidentifiedmedia, and r/find. A few months ago a friend of mine on tumblr posted this gif of Sean Brennan from the band London After Midnight. I was curious as to the source of it so I dmed them and they told me they found it on a 2009 post from a London After Midnight page on a Russian social media site, but the link they gave me was broken :(. Since then, I’ve been trying to find the source of it to mostly no avail. So far I was able to find a Pinterest post and an insta post but both didn’t have any information. I know it’s most likely 90s Sean based off of his hair and whatnot but other than that I don’t really know much. The reason why I’m posting here is because someone on r/find suggested it and I’m desperate. Any info is appreciated //_^

So I see a lot of things that are not goth being called goth (emo, metal, general non-denominational alternative, etc) and not a lot of goth things being called emo, metal, etc.

As far as I can tell, no one calls Bauhaus a metal or emo band. No one calls them industrial. It seems to me, things get mistaken for goth but not vice versa. In terms of sheer numbers I'm pretty sure there are more metalheads than goths, and I'm pretty sure most people know what metal is (though the subgenres cause many outsiders confusion). Emo is a younger subculture, and so I think has less name recognition, but yeah.

This is a completely idle question with no practical importance, but it's weird, right? So do we have any clue why that is?

I recently got recommended this band, specifically the song “clown” and I’m obsessed.
