Teen Gothic

I have been really interested in finding goth bands to broaden my music genre catalogue and because I find the goth subculture very fascinating, but I haven't been able to find any bands that I like yet because most places I look list the same 5 groups that all sound very similar.

I wanted to post here and ask if anyone had any recommendations for me that may be less conventional in the goth genre, but still within the community?

(Just for reference, I listen mostly to fashion/glam rock, metal-core, and grunge, with my main bands being Palaye Royale, Black Veil Brides, Spiritbox, Moonlight Haze, and Breaking Benjamin)

Pls be kind, I'm just trying to broaden my horizons and dont know where else to go :,)

UPDATE: thank you all for your suggestions! I'll give all of them a try and hopefully have a huge playlist soon with the songs I really enjoyed.

Hi all. There was some discussion if this band was AI earlier here: https://old.reddit.com/r/goth/comments/1m4p3jf/lebanon_hanover_knocked_off_1_selling_dark_wave/

I can officially say per Bandcamp correspondence that they have been banned after I inquired if this was AI generated music.

ME Jan 13, 2026, 11:57 AM PST As per this announcement: https://old.reddit.com/r/BandCamp/comments/1qbw8ba/ai_generated_music_on_bandcamp/ Which, BTW, is not reflected in your Terms of Use. Can you provide the official link on bandcamps website for this? That said, I beleive the artist "MoonVampire" may be using AI generation and assets. They have published a lot of music on bandcamp in a very short period of time, and their online presence is almost non-existent. There are a few reddit threads of how everyone suspects they are. So, at this point, can you please inquire with them? Thanks!

So… there you go I guess.

I found the couple tracks I purchased did remain in my catalog, YMMV however.

I've looked on Genius, on Bandcamp, even on the thumbnail of In Darkness you Will Feel Alright where the lyrics to all the songs in the album are, but somehow this one specific song is the only one that doesn't feature there. Could anyone help??

I’m still a baby bat (I got into the goth subculture only around 2 years ago) and I really struggle with finding other goths despite Berlin apparently having an amazing and big alternative scene.

Is there any place/events that you guys are aware of and could point me to? And if any local Goths want to reach out to be that’s also cool!

Thank you for your help 🙂

hey all! so this is my first battle jacket, idk if it countd as a battle or punk jacket but Idk if its good or not, I made some myself and I wanna get more but I am trying to do one side as goth and such and the other as metal or heavier bands I like, is it any good?

imma add more spikes and thinking of sewing webs on but unsure. I dont remember where I got the jacket but the wear and tesr on it was already there, I was thinking of moving thr paw patch to the centre back and adding a anti nazi patch I made and an anarchy one but I've seen a lot of baddle jacket stuff so I'm overthinking my jacket a bit.

I play bass and (if we are talking about post punk) i play alot of basslines from my favorite bands like TSOM, joy division, twin tribes and bauhaus. Any other band/song that has a great bassline?
