Teen Gothic

i discovered the wraith a while back and loved their harder deathrock sound, but after hearing about all the controversies with them i'm really not comfortable listening to their music. does anyone have any recommendations for that kind of dark punk/deathrock sound, besides like, 45 grave or christian death?

Hello. Getting back into Goth music and style, after a number of years away, and I was wondering if there are any must listen to bands, similar to Vision Video, She Past Away, or Twin Tribes. Preferably newer bands, as I have listened to the classics. Sorry if someone else has already asked this before.

I want new bands to get obsessed over. Recently I fell in love with Rosegarden Funeral Party, and they quickly became one of my favorite bands ever. And now I'm just craving new bands. Especially bands that have their own unique twist on the genre.

Yes I know they aren’t actual/proper/true goth and more like goth metal but whatever. Looking for either more specifically like that or “actual” goth with similar sound. Specifically the super dark and heavy bass and the super deep almost droning male lead vocals. And the low key auto tune shit TO- does with the vocals in some songs

I’m not really a goth or at least I don’t think of myself as one but I will say this stuff is my jam once November swings around. It’s so fitting for when all the green turns to brown and it gets dark earlier. And smoking a cigarette to this music in the depths of winter on a full moon? The world lit up by the moonlight off snow as the world is like frozen in glass? Chills

He loves Amy Lee’s vocals and Switchblade Symphony. I recently found Die Laughing’s Incarnations and he really enjoyed that album. He typically listens to symphonic metal, but seems to be liking goth rock. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for goth/deathrock/etc bands that sound alike to the energetic side of Grave Pleasures (FKA Beastmilk). I'm looking for a dark, empowering sound that may almost border on metal at times, with no cares, that makes you feel pumped up.

I am still relatively new to goth in general but something that really annoys me with the recent subculture trends on social media is that people try too hard to get into them on the terms of looks but then only listen to a few bands that are considered mainstream in that community and use it to act like they’re "different" or "underground". They only care about the "aesthetic" and don’t want to be called posers but aren’t that much interested in the music itself .

That specific person acted shocked when I said I listened to The Cure, Bauhaus , TsOm ect even after two of our friends who aren’t goth at all said they knew all the bands.

I’ll admit it, in comparison to any elder goth my music taste is pretty basic.

They don’t seem to understand there is a difference between being new to a subculture and actually looking into it and bragging about a few things everyone in that community knows.

And obviously this doesnt work for just goth, it applies to a lot of other subcultures with grunge, metal genres especially lately ,ect

Were there any early (70s/80s) Non-UK Goth Rock/Post-Punk Goth Bands? Bands similar to Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, etc.. But not in the UK?

To be clear, any goth bands outside of deathrock, cold wave, gray rock, after punk, darkwave, ethereal wave?
