Teen Gothic

A few months ago YouTube recommended this band to me. At first I said "oh, they kind of sound like The Sisters Of Mercy hmm that's neato.." but after watching 5+ music videos , hearing many songs from their various albums & looking at their photos, their album covers I quickly realized this band might love The Sisters Of Mercy MORE than The Sisters Of Mercy love The Sisters Of Mercy LOL. Also, their band's name isn't very subtle. Sisters Of Mercy/Merciful Nuns. Even their band logo's font is the same font TSOM use. Wow.

I look forward to the day I find a band of 4 or 5 folks who use construction equipment, audio loops, synths & a barely tuned bass & guitar to make the musical equivalent of Dada art, & their band's name is Crumbling New Apartments, their debut LP's name is Shatter.

Yeah, yeah I'm over 4 hours late. I needed to sleep and my neck hurts. It's called getting older.

Though most of the time each week this sits with no comments for a few hours anyway. So what's the bet one of the few times I am late people wanted to comment sooner?

I could auto-post like that bright and cheery Soothing Sundays but where's the fun in that?

What happened this week that made you happy?

Maybe you found a great new album or just an album you hadn't heard about before? Maybe you found a new cuddly kitten that now is a part of your family?

Hello everyone! I'm new to the community and I've been wondering if any of you could give some tips on how to do a simple goth makeup maybe? Particularly something about eyeliners for people with hooded/heavily hooded eyelids.

Thank you!

So I was reading through the FAQ's for the sub for funsies and in the section about Gothic Metal there's a snippet talking about the lack of an established metal-goth rock fusion which got me thinking of Unto Others(formerly Idle Hands) who play essentially bass-driven Deathrock with a heavier guitar tone and touches of metal aggression at rare times(Think TSOM's Vision Thing meets Horror Vacui and The 69 Eyes), these guys are getting pretty popular, touring around the world and all and I'm wondering if it'll spawn more music along these lines, and if it does, how would it be recieved by the goth community? Would it be accepted? What would it mean for the evolution of the genre? It's such an interesting development to me considering there really aren't any bands with this sort of sound, at least none so established as this so it's difficult to say what the impact will be going foreward. My personal opinion is that the next wave of goth music will consist of 2 main sylistic routes, the first being similar to that of the latest Christian Death album which imho continued to push the limits of what goth music could be and secondly similar to Unto Others as I've detailed. I'd like to hear some thoughts on the matter!
