Teen Gothic

What people tagging DCD as? Asking just out of curiosity since i really have not much clue regarding goth scene in general. Example, "Spirit", or "Cantara" , some of their top hits (i suppose?), reminds me a bit of Ataraxia or Arcana.

As far as I’ve seen, bands like Faith and the Muse and Dead Can Dance are also considered among darkwave genre although they are mentioned much more in ethereal wave genre. But why these bands are also considered darkwave? What are some example songs? And do you think this darkwave lebel is true?

I used to be terrified of being in public and I never used to dance but I’ve been trying to come out of my comfort zone for a while now and I think I’ve developed something pretty decent throughout these past few months. My social anxiety creeps up on me though, I don’t know if my dancing style is necessarily goth but some of the goth dance tutorials I’ve seen on YouTube seem a little too tame. Does anyone have their go-to dance when you’re starting to feel like you look silly? Any pointers would help.😅

Here’s a video of me dancing to Drab Majesty this past weekend.

Not that it matters, I was curious to see what opinions are about Dead Can Dance?

I had the pleasure of seeing them for the first time last year and I was blown away. The audience in the gig was really interesting, middle aged blokes in Curtis shirts pretending to play the bongos and younger folks sporting the self titled album t shirt.

So new world music group or goth?

Finally got a copy of the serpents egg which is my fave DCD record, what is yours?
