Teen Gothic

I wish they didn't just treat this channel like a seasonal thing, but at least it's commercial-free, good to have on in the background, and I always discover something new:

Most goth music is in a minor key. Makes sense, right.

Can you think of any songs that are in a major key? Which embody the genre well?

Curious ~ I can’t think of many off the top of my head.

Recently getting into goth music through a suggested play list I found. A lot of it is somber dance music and I like it but I want something for a chiller mood as well. Something that makes me feel like I’m staring out the window on a rainy day. Similar to the sound of the song I linked

Something like the cure, I find myself gravitating to songs with a bit more of a cadence and a beat, I love the cure and Depeche Mode but I don’t know a lot of bands that make higher energy music like that while maintaining the gothic nature.

Traitrs is my favorite goth band and one of my favorite bands of all time, so I’m fairly proud of my little collection I have of their work. So excited to see them again this October.

Not a goth record, but an hommage to the goth community that John Darnell has been a part in.

Have you listened to it before? How do you feel about it?

Personally I live the record (and most of the bands discog) would love to hear people's thoughts.

Sharing some artwork I picked up from an Oakland show yeaaaars ago—- I met Dinah and asked her to sign this a long time after in Los Angeles
