Teen Gothic

So i discovered metal music a year ago and I was quite attracted to it pretty fast so now I'm starting to get interested in gothic and darker music and I'm looking for something atmospheric and melancholic but I also want it to be quite heavy whether it's in the drums or the atmosphere and i prefer bands that are pretty known.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I apologize if this is a stupid question! I don’t intend to diss on any bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie, etc. I am actually quite interested in those bands but I get a little bit intimidated by more well known stuff because I am afraid of seeming like a poser and not knowing where to start… I’ve really been into bands like Tristania, Within Temptation, Mortal Love, The Sins of Thy Beloved etc just because I really love the sound especially really symphonic stuff and im more interested in trying a bolder goth style as I’ve kind of been in the alternative scene for years now but have been too scared to place myself in any particular subculture. I know goth subculture is music based but I wasn’t aware if you had to listen to specific bands or if the bands I like count or anything…I also think I might be stressing too much because I know a big part of it is just not conforming to the norm? I dunno. Help is appreciated!

I'm trying to plan my schedule and avoid leaving a venue after a few minutes and being late for something that’s actually good lol. So far I'm most looking forward to seeing Topographies, Sextile and Dancing Plague, I think they've never been to Europe before.

Hi! I'm searching to listen to more Greek post punk/deathrock/punk bands with Greek lyrics too, with less electronic elements and more guitar, bass and drums. I've discovered the band Hekate recently and I really enjoy their sound, so I'd love to find more bands like them. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment

The 90’s is where Goth and fashion died in malls and started to stray from its roots resulting popularity from non goth icons like MM.

Since this was pre-internet. Bands struggled to get recognition unless they were signed to bigger labels like Cleopatra Records.

None the less it is one of the most vital decades full of really awesome bands that sometimes go overlooked. (Not necessarily the bands I’m about to pick, but you get what I mean)

My question is what are your top 3 Goth bands from the 90’s?

For me it’s: 1. Corpus Delicti 2. London After Midnight 3. Rosetta Stone

Those bands for me have a catalogue of great songs!

Since it's throwback Thursday and I wanted to ask this for a while I wanted to ask if there were feature artists in movies or TV shows? As far as ik, souixie and the banchees did a single "face to face" in 1991 batman returns

I like Heros Del Silencio and Acid Bats, and I like Twin Tribes (English) whole vibe, and I'm looking for more Spanish goth bands.

Also specific goth songs, any language, that have a nature theme.

Any help and advice is appreciated 🙂

In the second wave there were a lot of bands that didn't last more than 3 years but released some demo tapes that are heavy underrated gems with a lot of potential. Bands like Redemption, Restoration, Seraphin twin deserved a lot more than a few demo tapes in my opinion. Which short-lived band would you have liked to have released an LP?

This is a hypothetical situation. Like a "What if?" sorry I didn't make that clear enough

Are there any popular or semi-popular goth bands that are currently touring and reocrd with a live drummer?

I feel like most of the big names currently and in most of the 21st century are all useing drum machines, but maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention?
