Teen Gothic

I recently stumbled across Dollwave and liked the vibe before quickly realising it was likely AI. Do you have any band recs with similar vibes but that are actually human artists?

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?

I love how dark and moody this song is. I like a good handful of goth bands from many subgenres but this has a distinct vibe I should explore more? It feels cold wave but not electronic, which compels me

From their debut EP. Sounds interesting!

Hello! I love in Hungary, I like alternative music, mostly goth, and recently I have went to an alternative music store to get patches. The thing is, they were selling some pretty offensive stuff, like iron crosses, confederation flags, like the slave owner flag, and like pins with a smiley of hitler. It was pretty messed up I think, a place calling itself punk should definitely not have anything like this in inventory.

The thing is, I wrote to them, asking why they sell that kind of stuff, and they just answered that people buy it, so they sell it. I also wrote a Google review saying that they have hate symbols, and they wrote back to me that I might just be too soft for a place like that. Can or should I do anything other than not returning? Have any of you faced similar situations? I want patches, but for now I will make my own ones.

So I am 100000% sure I’ve once listened to a Bauhaus song on Spotify that had lyrics like “anorexic alien” or “anorexic monster” or something like that and no matter how much and how long I’ve looked for that song I cannot find it anywhere.

I’m seriously unsure if that song even exists or if I imagined that, but people told me they remember that song too, but don’t remember the title.

I am going crazy here because am I stupid? Do I remember a song that was never made? Or was that song just taken off Spotify because there are some people that know what I’m talking about? But if it was just taken off Spotify, then why can’t I find it anywhere else?

He would have been 60 years old. I've had Buck-Tick's 1990 album Aku no Hana as a part of my rotation this week, so I wanted to share some old school Buck-Tick with one my my favorite songs by them, "Sabbat." Happy birthday Acchan, I miss you!

I’ve seen posts/comments that divide them for example, “goth and darkwave” “goth and deathrock”, I thought they were all together considered goth music?

It just gets frustrating when you’ve listened to a lot of the genres, find a song you think is goth and someone says “no that’s post punk” “no that’s darkwave” are those.. not all goth?
