Teen Gothic

Been getting into them lately. Reminds a lot of some Sisters of Mercy stuff. New to most of this so those are the only real baselines I have to go off of. But I really like the drums and the synths and the vocals, and I just found out they're pretty recent which I'm a fan of (i'd like to get into more music I could see live while I'm alive :p). Anything else I should know abt?

It was our second date. I asked her over to my place for dinner. I didn't mention that I live in a semi-rural, Victorian house hidden away in a maple forest with a 200-foot driveway lined with gargoyles (technically they are grotesques). I never get any trick-or-treaters. She walked up the porch steps and casually asked "so you don't have any bodies buried around here, I hope". I told her "Well, my grandmother Tereza was from Transylvania. Came through Ellis Island."

I boiled home-made fettucine and sliced some fresh French bread. The Blue Bell Knoll CD was playing softly on the stereo. She asked, "who was that, can you play that again?". "Really? of course I can". My heart started pounding. I made coffee and lit a clove cig, started coughing and we both laughed as I confessed, I don't really smoke.

I asked her if she had ever been to a goth club. She said no. I asked if she was busy tomorrow. She went, "On Sunday? "Yeah, that's the best night, wear black."

She never stopped dancing the whole time. The fashion blew her away; she was complementary to girls wearing cute 'fits. We will dance together till the day we die.

hey! fairly new goth here but i wanna hear from the public, what would Scary Bitches and London After Midnight be considered in the different genres of goth music? they’re currently near the top of my favorite artists to listen to and i’d love to learn more about the community, thanks!

I'm looking for books that contain photos, interviews or just general discussion from the early days of goth. I have my eye on this one as it seems to be a great resource, but are there any others that would be worth getting that I should know about? (Or conversely, any in particular I should avoid?)

Spotify suggested this mix to me through the daylist so I looked up what proto goth was before I listened to it. I’m sure you know, but proto goth to me almost seemed like pre goth. like stuff from the 60’s 70’s I think was what someone had said.

So why are these songs in there??

Some of the songs aren’t even goth? Like it played “School’s out” by Alice Cooper? And Mr Kitty and Sidewalks and Skeletons definitely weren’t from before goth was a genre.

Am I going crazy? Is Spotify making these mixes with AI or something?

(Dont get me wrong it was a good compilation, just not the genre it advertised at all)

Heard a couple of songs and wasn’t feeling pink turns blue latest album. Anyone recommend their favorite off the album.
