Teen Gothic

I love goth, post punk, dark wave, deathrock, etc etc etc… but I’m trying to find some other genres to enjoy so I don’t get too bored of my favorite music. What other kinds of music do you guys enjoy and recommend?

It could be a product of my ADHD or just that I have little knowledge about certain things. I've been a part of the goth culture for quite a while, and sometimes in frustrates me to be unable to easily deduce between what's what.

I don’t have a clear understanding of what exactly Industrial is and would really appreciate if it could be explained with some examples of industrial artists!

I also see post-punk be confused with goth. I somewhat have an understanding of the two but not sure where to draw a clear line.

Then there’s coldwave, darkwave (heavy synth?), ethereal wave, and all that fun stuff lol. I’m not too sure of the difference between all of those.

Examples are appreciated! Hoorah to learning!

Since this is lesser known, outside of some classic goth songs and albums with more stick out hard rock and metal influences, what would you consider to be lesser known legitimate goth bands that fuse both goth and metal properly and consistently enough to still be real goth.

Of course no gothic metal, dark alternative or mall metal or darkly inclined black metal, hybrid industrial, metal/rock that is vaguely influenced by goth or anything that isn't goth.

Hello mates,
I know, a lot of people on this sub listen to other music than only goth-rock/post-punk/darkwave/gothic metal, but usually, it is connected in some way – musically, esthetically, lyrically (industrial metal, punk-rock, or even guys like Marilyn Manson). Do you like any other kinds of music? Especially something that isn't connected to the gothic subculture in any way – dub, reggae, hip-hop, house, downtempo, synth-pop, jazz, classical music, etc. Would like to hear your thoughts on the topic.
