Teen Gothic

Bands/songs that sound like the loveless?

I’m new with goth music but I absolutely adore this band, sadly they were a one album wonder and Spotify just keeps recommending me doom metal from them :/. Metal archives said they’re goth rock so i’m assuming they are, correct me if i’m wrong. otherwise please recommend me similar music!

i (f20) have only recently started listening to goth music and becoming interested in the fashion… is it too late for me to be a baby bat? I study in a fairly small city with next to no alternative subculture, so I don't really have any irl spaces to turn to about this stuff

I've only seen a few details about them here and there; they released a single called 'Egypt' and had a track called 'Every Good Man' on the New Alternatives Five comp. Any details (or music!) would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Post links to your favorite Goth events here! /u/DaveAzoicer is the only Goth event in Sweden (right now) Klubb Död! What's yours?

Prefacing this by saying I'm in Europe so European websites would be nice, but this can also be a reference post for everyone.

I'm looking for good quality merch (I'd like to avoid eBay, drop shipping and the likes) with beautiful prints. I'd prefer to buy it second hand but the price of, for exemple, Depeche Mode shirts on vinted is not something I'm willing to pay (some sellers ask for 300-500€ a shirt).

Some artists I'm looking for would be Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Lycia (the list is long, of course) as well as more modern stuff like Hante or Tempers.

I would also love it if you guys had links to independent artists or shops that make goth and goth adjacent merch. Or vintage shops that specialize in this kind of merch.

Thanks to everyone that will take the time to answer!

Maybe I'm overreacting, but this gets me really mad. If I think someone is going through a phase whatever it may be, I will not say a word because it's just rude.

I'm a 23 old woman and last saturday was at my older sister's birthday party (she is 35 and everyone there except me and my bf was about the same age) and she and some friends told me "When I/your sister/someone I know… was your age, we too dressed as you, but now we are open to new horizonts and like every musical genre too!!'', I mean, cool I guess?

People don't seem to understand I do not only listen to goth music, I like a lot of other genres too, I simply wear black because it's a colour that makes me feel comfortable. They speak as they were enlightened beings because they are not alt anymore, and this pisses me off.

I am a baby bat, and recently I’ve started to do more gothic dancing. Something I’ve noticed that some of the popular dances in the Gothic community can also be seen a bit in the Ballroom/Vogue community. Is it possible that one inspired the other? It wouldn’t surprise me because I know the Gothic Community has a lot of LGBTQ+ members, so I can see inspirations come from either side.
