Teen Gothic

I tend to look for songs with either powerful vocals or powerful instrumentals. An immediate turn off for me is when the vocals are completely overshadowed by the instrumentals.

I know a lot of the music I will place here to show what I mean will likely not be goth, since I'm still learning about the Goth scene. But all suggestions are good suggestions imo. Also if any of them are Goth inform me. I want to make a goth playlist on my Spotify and knowing is half the battle. Plus I want to be able to learn to have a better ear to tell what genres are what.

Ice Queen – Within Temptation

Jazmine Bean – Piggie

Jack Off Jill – Vivica

Neoni (Ft. Savage Ga$ p) – Knives

Darling Violetta – A Smaller God

Pierce the Veil – Disasterology

Paramore – Ignorance

My Chemical Romance – I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

Chase Petra – Monet Issues

Tony22 – Earth Boy

Halsey – Control

AViVA – The Saint and The Sinner

I never heard the word being used back in the latter end of 90s and 2000s in my limited circles, both online and in real life, but I've stumbled upon a few old threads somewhere where this was mentioned as being used to exclusively refer to goth rock/second wave bands at some point. Can anyone provide further insight maybe with references if possible? I'm just merely curious about the use of the term from a historical stand point and if it was used back in the day (especially 80s) among certain people and how common was it?

I'm well aware of another modern term that seems like an internet label describing a wide array of dark bands unrelated or partially including goth and that's not what I'm referring to.

According to your understanding. And which philosophers are related to what you think goth philosophy is?
