Got this today

Bauhaus is so great with a lot of experimental variety and I love seeing what sound people prefer from their discography.

For me it’s currently: 1. Third Uncle 2. Telegram Sam 3. In the Night 4. Ziggy Stardust 5. Bite My Hip

I adore Scary Bitches! I love their unique sound. Are there any other songs and artists who sound similar?

Also, I wish Scary Bitches would make more music someday.

I think the answer is yes, but I'm just a baby bat.

Goth is an offshoot of post-punk, where the ethos that came with being punk was anti-establishment. Whereas it seems to be that being Goth is about being anti-conformity.

I'm not too involved in the punk scene, but I feel like the ethos is emphasized more than listening to the music in the circles of punk, where it's my observation that it is more the opposite with goth.

If I'm being honest, I love the music, but I think it's the personalities, lifestyle, and attitude of being goth that got me attracted to the subculture in the first place. Oh and I learned to appreciate the music in the process.

Let me know if I'm wrong.

So there is a goth/post punk/darkwave event happening here today. A daytime event on a Sunday. Pretty great idea if you ask me and I have tried to get stuff like this happening before. Even better the 2 DJs include one of the members of This Cold Night (local Adelaide Darkwave band many of you have heard of, they have been posted in r/goth before) and the other plays alt music on a local community radio station. So they know what they are doing and we will get what is advertised. This is my kind of event – during the day on a Sunday like the record club days but music I like to play myself and someone else is playing it.

The problem? This seems to be a last minute thrown together thing as no one knew about it until today. Instead of being there right now enjoying some great music and having a beer tor two I am here writing this post. If I had a few days notice I could have prepared and gone to it and I an sure most other people are in the same boat. I am hopeful it will happen again as one of the DJs saw my post sharing the event and liked it. I am following them now so hopefully I get more prior warning next time.

Not quite seething but certainly annoyed at the missed opportunity. This is why we promote our events.

hello!! Im a big fan of the bands Rosegarden Funeral Party and Christ vs Warhol. something that sticks out to me about these bands is that theyre female led and have fairly upbeat music. a lot of my playlist rn is male led and slow. i would really appreciate some song/band reccomendations! (bonus points if its metal! i love love love industrial and symphonic metal)

Hi, if this is against the rules or anything I apologize. I just wasn’t sure of where to post this.

Growing up, I’ve always wanted to dress in a goth way, and be able to show that I’m a part of the scene. Of course I’ve listened to the music, and I know that makes me goth. But I’ve always loved the fashion, and I’ve always wanted to wear it. I’ve never been able to for a couple of reasons that I won’t get into. :/

When I go to concerts, I feel really out of place. You see all these people with death hawks and wild makeup and whatnot, and it just feels a little saddening to see. I wish I had friends who enjoy the same music I do, and shared the same interests. Of course, there’s a huge goth scene in NYC, but I never grew up around anyone like me. I’m also not of age to go to most goth events yet, (like the goth nights in Saint Vitus and stuff.) I really just wish I knew someone else around my age in the scene, someone who would just get it. Sorry for the long post and please let me know if I worded this wrong or anything, thank you !!
