Teen Gothic

Either they're not well known or just came out.

For some reason, I have a hard time finding new (to me) and interesting goth or goth adjacent bands, and this sub has helped out so much just scrolling through before. so, I thought I’d see if you guys could point me in a direction to go exploring, as my playlists have gotten a bit stale.

Here’s some bands/ artists/ groups I like, and if you know of a band or group that sounds similar, I’d appreciate if you shared the name 🙂

-fields of the nephilim -the cure -strawberry switchblade -Cocteau twins -drab majesty -Depeche Mode (I know they’re not goth just thought I’d list) -vision video -Lebanon Hanover

I’ve recently started getting into goth music, and I really like the band Earth Calling Angela. I’m not too familiar with subgenres of goth music, but their album “Hope Springs Eternal” is really good, and I would like to find more similar sounding artists. If you have any recommendations, please share them. Thank you!

i just like female vocalists and i dont know a lot of bands with them..

Hey all, I was going through my goth playlist and realized I have maybe 4 bands with female singers. Looking for suggestions on some goth bands with female singers!

I actually finished like two weeks after I posted the WIP but I forgot to post it again… Obligatory "there's a couple of non/not entirely goth bands in there" note.

I want to hear all about goth bands/musicians who truly adore their fans and support the subculture in meaningful ways. Examples:

• Active on social media

• Have been interviewed in Morbid Outlook, Gothic Beauty, or other subcultural 'zines

• Know who Mick Mercer is

• Enjoy meeting DJs

• Show appreciation for their influences

• Show interest in the history of the subculture

• Support/are friends with other goth musicians

• Go on tour frequently

• Play at goth music festivals (big or small)

• Anything else that "gives back" to the subculture

• Deliver shows that go above and beyond. This is subjective. Maybe they hang out with fans afterward. Or they try to get everyone dancing their asses off. Or they're creative with their self-expression/public image, unafraid to stand out. It's not just "get up on stage, play the set, disappear. Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am."*

I'm a reserved introvert, so I can relate. I'm not trying to dunk on bands who are more subdued. I'm not saying they're unimportant or "less goth". Lots of musicians aren't as comfortable in the spotlight, which is okay! Maybe they're more active behind the scenes. Besides, performing *at all is a significant contribution. Very few goth musicians expect to become rich or wildly famous. Old joke: "Want to start a goth band? Prepare yourself for tens and tens of fans!"

I'm especially interested in bands active from 2010 onward. What tells you that they love their audience?

Im asking if anyone knows bands like Caifanes?

mine are the 69 eyes, but i like the eden house a lot. i would love some recommendations (i’ve listened to cocteau twins, bauhaus, christian death, eden house, the 69 eyes, gothic sex) thanks fellas!!

My mistake it's *didn't

So my first guess was that they don't want to be under one definition that appeals to one audience, meaning they didn't want to be put in a box. That is understandable to me. On the other hand, most of these bands I would never have heard of if I wasn't interested in Gothic culture. So instead of trying to avoid the label "Goth" they should thanks it imo.
