Teen Gothic

Just finished reading 'Goth: A History' by Lol Tolhurst. Has anyone read this one recently? Admittedly I read it as much for his thoughts on the subculture as a whole as the musical history of The Cure and the mood in England that gave rise to it. Not a long read, would definitely recommend.

And tour

I'm diving deep into the enchanting world of gothic music and I'm on the hunt for some beautifully dark love songs. Do you have any favorites that blend haunting melodies with romantic, melancholic lyrics? Whether it's a classic or a hidden gem, I'd love to hear your recommendations.

I’m making a playlist since every time I dye my hair or paint furniture, I’m compelled to listen to Mephisto Walz’s version of Paint it Black, and Black no 1 (which I am very aware is not goth, don’t worry). Does anyone know of any other songs on the subject to round out this playlist? Thanks!!

Want to chat about something which doesn't need it's own thread? Do it here!

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.

It doesnt necesserily have to be goth…i would love to read something about our subculture or perhaps a book that covers everything from punk to goths to emos etc…,thank you all

Ok this might be a long shot; but the band started with an M… (maybe) and the song was something like She’s Lost Control, or some other classic.

African goth band.

Thank you so much!!

(Also would love other recommendations for other bands with covers of popular songs from Africa)

Song in question would have been from before 2016

This is something I was thinking of posting recently, and have been prodded by Aytakk's post in the new Seething Sunday thread: I'd like to hear anecdotes of DJs who have accidentally cleared the dancefloor. What did they play to do this, and how did they recover? (if they did)

Also, what do people find drives them off the dancefloor? I may be a bad goth for this, but for me it's Nick Cave and Depeche Mode.
