Teen Gothic

What’s the lore behind this song ? I’m an african american that considers myself somewhat goth and recently have been even diving deeper into the culture and stubbled across this apparent classic. It’s so good…. But … yea anyways someone care to explain to me this song and how the goth community feels about it ?

I love this band so much. I still haven’t heard anything like them yet. Sadly the most I could find outside of this album was a tribute song to Karen Black.

I still hope there’s another song hidden away somewhere I haven’t heard. If you know anything lmk.

(r/deathrock won't let me post there because I'm not "active enough" on that sub)

Is there any "newer" deathrock bands that aren't just copying Bauhaus, Christian Death, or 45 Grave? Anyone with a unique sound that fits in this genre? Or even just more "rock" based goth music that is bass/guitar driven with more grit.Modern goth music thats unique and new has seemed to take a very electronic approach but I'm not seeing any Death Rock that's doing somthing new.

I feel im just finding bands that are super derivative. Is that just because the genre itself it too gatekeepy? Or is it just not popular enough? Maybe I'm just missing the really awesome bands? Maybe I'm just too head-up ass about what's "good"? Idk! You tell me.

Hello,

Just wanted to share some short lived Death Rock/Dark Punk bands I used to play in. Neither of these bands are active anymore.
