Teen Gothic

It doesn't need to be uplifting. But maybe just really catchy, or soothing, or sad in a way that you commiserate with. Mood-congruent is fine. What entertains you, or validates you, or is just really entertaining and pleasurable to listen to?

Bonus points if the song(s) you recommend are more recent, released after 2010 or so. I've semi-recently returned to goth after a LONG absence, so newer music is particularly welcome.

But old school is fine too!

Thank you so much! 🖤

I love lesser known bands ! There are so many so I wanna know yours favorites. Currently mine are Sins of the Flesh, Graal, The Funeral March of the Marionettes, Mosquito, and The Cascades !

curious what yall's favorite deathrock acts are. currently my favorite is probably voodoo church, but i also love deadchovsky, ex voto, medusa stare, children with dog feet, and dead cult.

Bauhaus is so great with a lot of experimental variety and I love seeing what sound people prefer from their discography.

For me it’s currently: 1. Third Uncle 2. Telegram Sam 3. In the Night 4. Ziggy Stardust 5. Bite My Hip

I've been hyperfixated on MTV's Downtown so Id say Serena is currently the character I like the most at the moment. (She also has the same mbti/enneagram as me so maybe that is why.)

It can be from any media! Im wanting to find more goth characters, or even just shows, movies, web series, books, comics, and so on. 🙂

Curious to know which darkwave bands people are into that are from the first wave of the darkwave sub-genre, which are not under the ethereal sub-genre.

Curious about everyone's sub-genre preferences. Please feel free to also elaborate in comments about why you like a particular sub-genre over another. Thank you.

I’m interested to read what your guys favorite lyrics are, I personally don’t have one since there are so many good ones out there.

What are some of your favorite basslines/bass-heavy songs? I’m putting together a playlist to motivate me to learn bass and would love to hear from others 😀

I’ll go first – Dead, Cold, Autumn by This Cold Night!
