Teen Gothic

I'm learning Italian, so it would be nice to do so with music I like. Preferably with music whose lyrics are available on the Internet.

I know and love the work of Italian groups like The Frozen Autumn and Kirlian Camera, but I don't think they have any songs in Italian.

The only group I've found so far that meets this criterion is the deathrock group Le Vene di Lucretia, which I love, but I can't find their lyrics transcribed anywhere.

EDIT: And when I say goth-adjacent, I mean that in the broadest sense, up to and including bouncy futurepop, although something more identifiably gothic in aesthetic would be nice too.

Alright, where to begin.

Developed my love for goth rock and any other dark genres associated, starting 20 years ago.

One group I cant find anything super similar to is Rosetta Stone. Something about Porl King's singing style, maybe the fact most of it is electronic… im not certain why, but i love Rosetta Stone over all of the other groups. I literally own every vinyl record Rosetta Stone has produced.

Ive seen some excellent taste in this subreddit, and hoping you all can give me a hand in expanding my music playlist, and vinyl collection if possible. Thank you all for being awesome.

Anyone have any interesting links, memories or names relating to online discussion groups from around 1979 to 1993 that were centered around discussion of goth and post punk bands and the scene as it was happening? This would be through BBS and Usenet primarily before the internet took over in 1994-1996.

I just think its fascinating to read and document such things, even if a few low percentage of people knew about online discussion groups and were using modems to discuss goth music.

As you know, online activity was thing way before the latter 90s and it was centered more around computer nerds, hacking, specific industries, universities with much less casual users and with a different and much less developed infrastructure than the modern internet.

The first public goth sites on the internet from my memory date to 1994-1995, they were just a few, seem to have operated as personal homepage fan websites, often seemed very basic, limited or poorly written.

I believe there few bands posting music samples around then I can't confirm the names, since there weren't that many bands and each had a few tracks and music sampling was less common until 1997. They were likely to be on the Internet Underground Music Achieve (IUMA) or Den's Cyberden around that time, but I can't be certain.
