Teen Gothic

I'm pretty new to goth music and the only band that like more than 5 of their songs is Sisters of mercy.

I’m looking for bands that have a big natrual drum sound and melodic vocals but incorporate lots of synths or other effects that you would normally hear in more electronic styles. Thanks!

Edit: For reference, I’ve been enjoying a lot of Killing Joke, The Smiths, Drab Majesty, Depeche Mode, etc recently

In today’s age goth is labeled as cool somewhat depends or in early 2000s people would get bullied for being from the norm . but in the 80s how was that life like . And I know bands hate being labeled but I’m talking about the bands pov. What did they think a goth was in there time that, that name had a bad rep . How would they be described

The only thing I have conjured a small detail which is funny

Andrew : ME GOTH how ?I wear pyjamas or shorts in my house

That’s was a funny statement from Andrew

Would he think goths wear there garments at home ??

How did bands perceive typical goths in 80s

I'm looking for bands that I can potentially see live in the future or support that are similar to them. I'm aware of some of the other Ethereal-wave bands that reformed or are still active like MSG. Are there modern bands that have a similar sound?

Looking for anything that gives off soundscapes of like Celtic mythology , fae, overgrown mossy ruins, etc

Most of what I’ve seen for music is (presumably straight) white men fronting a lot of popular goth bands which is fine but as a queer and trans woman I want to know if there’s any women/lgbtq led bands that people can recommend me.

What are y’alls recommendations for good beginner bands to get into more goth music. I’ve been debating whether of not to get more into goth music and fashion for a while but I wanna finally just dive into it but I’m not sure where to start truly getting into it.

(Sorry if this is kinda a stupid question.)

Thanks

i got into goth this year its the primary genre i listen to but i havent quite found anyone with their same sound and energy. i tend to gravitate twords heavyer goth stuff and female vocalists of thats helpful !
