Teen Gothic

So, I enjoy industrial, ebm and goth music. I enjoy industrial and ebm way more and I don’t identify myself with goth subculture but I know plenty about it due to my interest in the music as well. Being surrounded by each crowd, I notice that a lot of goth people always label industrial and sometimes ebm bands (but I mostly just see people label industrial) that don’t fall under any goth genres as goth. I know that industrial and goth music were/still are two peas in a pod in clubs and stuff so I feel that has something to do with it buut. I’m just curious and want to know from a goth who considers industrial and/or ebm a part of goth, why?

Just genuinely curious and wanna know if I’m missing something!

I've noticed in the past a lot of mentions religious deities and terms like God, Lord, and Jesus within Post-Punk and Gothic songs. A few memorable ones include;

"I know that God lives in everybody's soul and the only Devil in your world lives in the human heart" -Good Morning Beautiful by The The

"Is my creator a God or a man? (Yes, yours too)" -Monkeyland by The Chameleons

"Moving along in our God-given ways safety is sat by the fire" -Passover by Joy Division

"Jesus christ, i am bleached by the heat but i feel fine in my filthy skin" -Bleach by Lowlife

I also notice that religion symbols like the cross can be within gothic fashion as well. Aside from artistic expression, why do you think religious symbols and language are used so often in the goth and post-punk scenes?

Does anyone know of any bands in the vein of Keluar or VR Sex? I'm searching for stuff that is danceable and spacious sounding. (prefereably made in the last 10 years)

I *love* Elizium and had a long time plan of revisiting the ending track And There Will Your Heart Be Also and make cinematic soundtrackish version of it. Here we are, hope you enjoy! Coming to streaming services next month
