Teen Gothic

Edit: also why is combichrist on the list of problematic bands?

*I am aware of industrial music vs goth music but am wondering more about the vibes of the commumity

Combichrist is coming to my city to play at a local venue and I’m debating on going. For background, I’ve scratched the surface of Industrial but that’s it. With how large this sub-reddit is and the overlap between goth and industrial, I thought you all could give valuable information regarding the vibes of the show (music and attendees). I guess I’m just wondering if it will be a good show for goths that don’t listen to industrial or aggrotech much?

Thanks for the responses that may be given!(sorry if this is a strange question I’m autistic 😭)

There’s a goth girl in my environmental science class and these few guys keep referring to her as an emo girl, I just cringe but ofc I’m not gonna speak on her behalf but it just mildly annoys me for no reason lol

What really is the difference because I hear people saying that the cure she wants revenge and joy division are all not goth and post punk but then see them in goth playlists is there a difference?

So, beloved 90s Darkwave band Switchblade Symphony has two versions of their third album, The Three Calamities, for sale on their bandcamp. One of them has "(2022 Remaster)" after all of the tracks. I've tried to listen to both and figure out the difference, but I'm just sort of sitting here going, "Is this one maybe brighter? Or something??" Are my speakers just not good enough? What do you think?

Hi there, extremely new to goth music and was wondering about the difference between darkwave and goth rock. I was googling around to try and find the right term(s) for the genre(s) I most enjoy, and found that there was a lot of overlap between listed bands and artists. Some that were mentioned under both include Christian Death, Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, and Dead Can Dance. This is made even more complicated for me as Apple Music labels pretty much everything as alternative, rock, or goth rock almost interchangeably. I would just like to know if there is any meaningful difference between these terms? Thanks <3

Edit: I should also mention that Google's definitions seem a little strange, as I see bands such as Evanescence and Nine Inch Nails listed under goth rock even though I'm pretty sure they're not goth at all

Hi, What's the difference between those two? The way I see it, goth is a subgenre of post punk! But what is death rock than? Thanks!
