Teen Gothic

Are there any PNW or West Coast goth music festivals/shows outdoors this summer? I know of outdoor punk and dungeon synth fests. But I'm not finding any dark wave/goth music fests in the woods.

Want some recs for 80s goth that isn’t just sisters of mercy,bauhaus,siouxsie, the cure

Especially stuff on the expiermental side

I was looking into a certain drum machine which led me to happen upon a channel that uses AI to give an "educational" retrospect on certain aspects of goth subculture. Not gonna mention their name because I personally hate it. AI usage is lazy and worse than poseurdom especially if you're using it for historical knowledge. It's cringe and it tries to anatomize the culture in a lazy way. The whole channel is AI, a visual misrepresentation of the subculture as well as quasi academic attempt at shining a light on something they are far removed from. Anyways, it tickled me wrong and I hope AI isn't being embraced by real goths.

Due to unpopular demand and reports from the fun police, this week's official Seething Sunday thread post is officially a serious zone. Because even though the world is falling apart we are not allowed any relief due to it being "off topic" in a thread made for catharsis and levity.

Though I do find reporting the weekly steam valve complainey thread made by a moderator (instead of being automated by choice to keep it from being boring) so other admin/moderators may remove it very laughable. Perhaps they thought I would see the error of my ways and remove it myself.

Like, what did they think would happen? All they are doing is giving us material to laugh at. So sure, what the hell – give us more.

And for the rest of you, keep it grindy and grim else the fun police come for you too. Or not – feel free to thumb your nose at them if you want.

Breaking news! The fun police's popcorn has been pissed in, film at eleven.

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?

Share it with us!

I'm trying to discover more goth music and I reeeaaaally like deathrock

so i have a good friend from poland, and i think they’re very much qualified to be goth, but it’s really just a matter of getting them to identify with the culture. and fortunately they’ve liked all of the songs i’ve shown them though. sadly i don’t know any goth bands from there specifically, only some russian ones

does anyone have any good recommendations? 🙂

We are Obsidian Graves and we are so happy that our first single “Snnrs” is out, hope you like it 🖤
