Teen Gothic

Correct me if i’m wrong, but conservative goth seems like an oxymoron

On various social media I have seen people making posts about how they are “disgusted with people denying their political beliefs in goth culture” but I feel like when you get into a subculture that is well known to be anti establishment, anti-capitalism and pro human rights you would expect that.

What makes me really upset with this is that I have seen too often these “conservative goths” are transphobic when the culture was literally made to free people, like trans people who are oppressed societally.

It gets even worse with people trying to say they’re conservative punks which imo is an even more politicized subculture.

I was just thinking about the old websites we had in the early 2000's and remembered VF. I went back to look at it and it's been a shop since 2020? Heavily disappointed, I hope one day it's restored to its 8bit emoji bats for nostalgia purposes. Minus the creeps, though.

I tend to look for songs with either powerful vocals or powerful instrumentals. An immediate turn off for me is when the vocals are completely overshadowed by the instrumentals.

I know a lot of the music I will place here to show what I mean will likely not be goth, since I'm still learning about the Goth scene. But all suggestions are good suggestions imo. Also if any of them are Goth inform me. I want to make a goth playlist on my Spotify and knowing is half the battle. Plus I want to be able to learn to have a better ear to tell what genres are what.

Hello, I'm looking for goth bands or albums with bass lines that stand out. For example, in my opinion, Disintegration (The Cure) have amazing bass lines and Volume 2 (Bauhaus) too. I'm also interested in some songs recommendations (still with great bass lines) but I'm mainly looking for album or artists (from any era).

First and Last and Always has to be one of my favorite albums out there, but I always wondered about the symbol in the middle. Does it have a meaning or origin, or does it just exist for the sake of filling in space?

(Sorry if the flair is incorrect)

In the late 1990's there was a late night TV show called Passengers which was narrated by Jo Whiley.

In one episode there was a short segment on the Hungarian goth scene. Every person they interviewed committed suicide.

If anyone has this footage or any other good resources on Hungarian goth it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Specifically similar to the album Medusa. That shit is ethereal and I need more.

I found them recently and I love them. They don't seem to have many monthly listeners on Spotify.
