La Danse Macabre 19 is out on Bandcamp, featuring a varied mix of goth rock, darkwave, post-punk and other styles.

Featuring:
Izzy and the Black Trees, Mystigma, Reptyle, Voyna, The Occasion, Black Rain, Black Rose Moves, Truly Lost, The Glass House Museum, SU, Don't, Ceremony Shadows, Plastik Noir, HalfCutLemon and many more.

Calling all goths from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Do u have a scene at your city? What are ur local bands? Any recommendations?

This is a contender for my favorite album of all time, the synergy between Nik Fiend and Mrs. Fiend has never been stronger. Now I’m Feeling Zombified is the song that first got me hooked on this band and it doesn’t even crack my top 4 on this thing. Curse crawls, vibrates, and blasts you with heavy distortion and interesting electronic sounds, with some noteworthy sampling from the movie Predator. The 4 part opener Katch 22 will take you on a trip that’ll leave your toes curled and your hair reaching for the sky.

Extras: Dust Jacket with song lyrics and art by Nik Fiend (cover art also by Nik Fiend)

My top tracks:

-Katch 22

-Eat! Eat! Eat! (An Eye For An Eye)

-I Think I

Honorable mention:

-Burger Bar Baby

I like to dress boldy and full masc.

As of right now my fits are pseduo goth.

I mostly wear worn out metal band tees that I work in (manual labor), skull rings, spider rings, black crossess, a pendant that says memento mori, a celtic knot bracelet with black beads, a worn to death skull bracelet, worn to death spike bracelet, black jeans or dark blue, and I really like jean jackets.

I feel like I am just scratching the surface here.

Pls ignore spelling and grammar errors, I am blind as a bat (pun intended)

this pic came up while searching for photos of tina root on pinterest but i dont think tina ever had lip piercings? i tried to do more research and was told maybe someone named heather hatchet? if this is her, could someone tell me who that is?

google reverse image search tried telling me it was soo catlady for some reason

As someone in the community, I know about the fetishization that happens to fems/women in the community and it’s ABSOLUTELY disgusting. It’s sad that this happens so often that it’s inspiring memes. But it has never happened to me except on Reddit when I was still a teenager. The last few years it has never happened to me. I don’t know why. I DO NOT want it to happen, I’m just confused. Could be because my style is not the typical goth style. I feel a little left out in some discussions because I can’t relate. But I still do my best to defend fems/women from weirdos.

Took this at school today for finals (pray for me)

What I'm about to write isn't just about recounting my memories, but about addressing the countless questions that so many young people ask themselves: "What does it mean to be goth?" and "Am I goth enough?"

I wouldn't say I'm an old goth, but I was goth at a time and in a place where it had a very strong meaning. By the 2000s, we were already far removed from the original movement, but there was a revival. I was lucky enough to experience it in a European capital at that time. There were parties, bars, bands, and artists. Since we didn't yet have smartphones, social media, etc., if you were part of that scene, it was truly because you wanted to be, because you'd been introduced to the right people. There was this network aspect that really gave it its underground feel. You didn't end up there by chance, but because you were looking for something unusual. All social classes mingled.

Naturally, it attracted all sorts of strange characters. We all came from completely messed-up families, many had experienced terrible things. And I think what united us psychologically was the desire to confront the darkness. We had experienced violence, perversion, things that were very traumatic for teenagers, and we drew our strength from a kind of revenge. Yes, we dressed in black, yes, we shocked people, yes, we listened to music that talked about death, that blasphemed and talked about sex and cemeteries, yes, people gave us dirty looks in the street, none of that scared us, we liked playing with fear, maybe because we were often very afraid in the development of our personalities. It was therapeutic, in a way.

I'm not judging the young people who want to rebuild this movement, which has already been alive and dead several times. But seriously, if you want to keep this going: don't worry about whether you fit in. Don't be afraid to be disruptive, to be the only one saying something, don't try to play it safe, but don't be mean either, but accept that it's a playground for what makes you uncomfortable. If you go there trying to please others, you'll miss out on what creates the energy and you won't experience anything worthwhile. What will connect you to others is breaking boundaries together, including your own. You're not there by chance, so go for it, and see what happens. Go on an adventure, don't be afraid, you're going to rock.

This baby bounces with heavy electronics and dance vibes. The unearthly sounds and fiendish interludes make it feel like a radio show streaming to you from another planet… Bun Ho!
