Teen Gothic

my special interest (im autistic) for the past year or so has been visual kei and just japanese music in general and I can't make myself listen to anything else I've tried </3 but I rlly like goth music so I was wondering if there's any Japanese goth bands?? (sorry if the tag is wrong I wasn't sure what to put lol)

I hope no one finds this obnoxious to ask but…while I really love the sound of Darkwave I do find some of the lyrics to be a bit much for me sometimes (like a bit too dark, sexy or creepy in some cases). I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for bands that maybe had less intense lyrics. For example most of The Frozen Autumn's lyrics I would consider at the perfect level for me. Also the song Fantasmas by Twin Tribes is a good level for me, and Sanri by She Past Away. Also I love the sound of these groups!!!

People often tell me to ignore the lyrics when I ask questions like this, but I can't 😅. Lyrics are important to me. I like to know what's being said as it helps me connect with the music more, and I like to sing along as well. For me, the lyrics are a huge part of the fun!

Please let me know if guys have any suggestions!!! Thanks a lot for your time!

I just discovered this subreddit recently and I like goth music a lot. However I notice that some teenagers think it's just a fashion trend. For me it's about the music. I think the music is amazing and it has helped me recently. I just got into it and I'm 21. People tell me I'm annoying because I say that goth is about the music. I'm not telling anyone that they cant be a goth. I'm just saying they should listen to the music because to me it sounds really good and is worth getting into.

I'm not sure if my opinion is unpopular or not. I just wish I knew more people who actually listened to the music. I'm glad to have found this subreddit. I like a variety of music but mainly goth.

Any links would be gravely appreciated, I will come back and post the album once we’re done.

Any goths or alternative people in this part of Texas? Specifically around Tyler, Longview, Mount Pleasant, Texarkana, and the areas in between?

Additionally did any of you go to the Vampire Ball in Tyler the other day?

Got a review of something cool, somewhat goth-related? Maybe a nice book, movie, youtube? Wanna promote your thing? Go for it!

Does anyone know the state of the Polish goth scene?
