Teen Gothic

I’m trying to get into goth music but a bunch of artists have albums that are hours long and they have like 20 albums, I fear I’ll be called a poser if I don’t listen to an artists whole discography or something or freeze up when someone asks me to list a song. Popular or obscure I’m fine with, idc. Lately I’ve been listening to twin tribes and molchat doma and Cocteau twins

I recently started trying to get to grips with Christian Death, which has led me to discover the mess that is their discography. I don't like the stuff involving Valor. On the other hand, there is a bunch of stuff that Rozz recorded as "Christian Death featuring Rozz Williams" and under other names.

What would be really handy is if someone had written a discussion and review of all the records. It seems like something a hardcore fan might do, but does such a resource actually exist? Grateful for any help!

(I considered posting this appeal in the RozzWilliams reddit, but that seems to be almost dead at this point.)

On every app/website I’m on a lot of the release dates are messed up or just not even there, on Spotify it says “The Wind Kissed Pictures” came out in 2013 or something, yet on allmusic and Amazon it says 1985. Not to mention everything after “Ashes” seems misplaced. Has anyone else noticed this?

I know the answer is probably "Faith," and "Pornography," but to me that doesn't seem enough to be classified as goth. I know goths love Disintegration, but what about it is goth? Ive heard it said that The Cure and Siouxsise and The Banshees started goth, but didn't goth originate from post-punk, like Joy Division?

after digging further there are other tracks (“Party Monster” for one) that I found that are synth/darkwave-y although I’m not sure if they’re original compositions or samples taken from goth tracks. His music tends to use a lot of minor chords and progressions which is why i’m getting goth vibes from his music. I just thought I’d post this bc i’m genuinely amazed at how he’s fused his music with moody minor chords, and the idea that he (probably) listens to goth music during his free time is quite cool.
