Teen Gothic

Pretty much a band that is soo good that you want to be edgy and not listen to them due to the fact everyone else listens to them.

Note: Plz don't down vote or shame others opinion. idc if you downvote this topic but don't be a dweeb and shame others just because they don't like a band you like, Grow up.

Musically, i feel im not too bad at writing stuff, especially basslines. However, when it comes to lyrics i can't re-read anything i've written without wanting to tear out my vital organs. Any tips?

I wouldn't mind being part of a goth band. I'm painfully aware that I cannot sing—trust me on this; I'm not being humble—nor do I have the appearance to front a band. I'm not nearly attractive enough. Let's be frank: looks matter.

I have lots of free time, however, to learn an instrument over the next few years. I understand that it will take serious discipline and patience.

I'm looking for answers to either of these questions, or both:

– Any thoughts on which instrument to take up? Piano? Bass guitar? Viola? Violin? (I could buy a synth that mimics piano.) Let's say I have access to a place where I can practice without disturbing my roommates or neighbours.

– Who are some reasonably well-known goth musicians who aren't singers?

I wouldn’t consider myself goth. Just someone with a jaded/dark soul. You all have excellent taste in music! Damn. I’ve gotten some wicked songs that are a must on my playlist thanks to this sub.

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

Listening to the When I Was Bed by Christian Death this morning. Does any clue what the song is about? Definitely am thinking some sort of sick bed/death bed situation, but does anyone know with any certainty what Rozz was going on about?

They played one show recently but haven’t put out new music since 2020 and their social media is fairly inactive. Wondering if anyone knows if they are still together? Loved their last album!

Looking for slower songs that give a dreary mood. If the lyrics are depressing and but the instruments are upbeat and energetic it's not what I'm looking for
