how do you talk about goth music with non-goths?
title. i was thinking about how i talk to people about my taste in music, and how it differs between normies and other goth/alternative people. personally, when someone not alternative asks me about music, i always just say something along the lines of ‘dark 80’s music.’ i try to dance around the ‘goth’ word just because i don’t want the immediate knee-jerk reaction of people who don’t really know what it is making incorrect assumptions. how about you all, though?

Goth songs about lost innocence?
Hey y’all, I’m back with another music recommendation request! I’m creating a playlist of goth songs themed around the movie The Lost Boys, and I’m wondering if any of y’all have recommendations for goth songs about loss of innocence or that have that kind of vibe. They can be from any goth sub genre. The only song I can think of off the top of my head is 1959 by The Sisters of Mercy, so recommendations are very much appreciated.

Research survey about the relationships between the LGBTQIA+ community and alternative subcultures
Hello wonderful goths of reddit 🙂
I've made a survey for research for my university dissertation about the relationship between the LGBTQIA+ community and alternative music subcultures. As part of that, I am also discussing ideas around safe space and whether or not safe space is a good thing. Goth is a very prevalent and important subculture, but I don't know much about it's relationship with the LGBTQIA+ community, so I'd really love to hear your thoughts! If you could spare 5 minutes to fill out my survey I'd really appreciate it 🙂

Siouxsie’s songs about mental illness are underrated.
I posted this last year and thought I'd share it again, with a minor edit: "Christine" is about Dissociative Identity Disorder, not schizophrenia.
*
I recall an interview where Siouxsie remarked that if she weren't a musician, she might like to be a psychologist. (Or a gardener.) I think she understands human psychology incredibly well. A few songs off the top of my head:
Eve White/Eve Black (Dissociative Identity Disorder) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLhJm_87kQc
The Ghost In You (posttraumatic stress disorder) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etutVZoOHts
Burn Up (obsession with fire) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww4awxmDWwA
Carcass (amputation fetish) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEbq05H_gaY
Voodoo Dolly (alcoholism) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whu8m97ytUY
Happy House (society's obsession with appearing normal and perfect) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amR6-neQBPE
Christine (Dissociative Identity Disorder) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtt_0OKzRek
