Teen Gothic

So, I recently was accepted as a DJ at my colleges radio station and want to play a lot of goth and goth-adjacent (bands loved by many goths but not actually goth) music during my hour on air. I already have some artists I enjoy and plan on playing like bauhaus, christian death, siouxsie and the banshees, scary bitches, etc, but I'd really appreciate some more goth and goth-adjacent music recommendations.

I'd also appreciate "clean" (no curse words or in a non-english language) song recs if I get stuck with a slot during the day time.

Hi everyone! Our cold-wave/post-punk duo Ostatnia Klatka have just released a debut album and started touring in Poland.

Freezing cold guitars, gloomy vocals, bass that could rearrange your room, synths straight from the 80s. We sing about living in Eastern European city, about our fears, about our lives.

That's what we wanted to say about ourselves, but tbh we would love to hear what YOU think about our first album. Your feedback would be much appreciated!

Here we picked some songs that are a good overview of our music, but we really encourage you to check the whole thing as it's quite diverse – and say a word or two what you think abuut it :).

Urobor – our goth side

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?

My boyfriend and I are thinking of moving to Washington state but dipping our toes first and taking a vacation there beforehand. We're both Native so our culture and community are important to us plus we're goth so moving to an area that kind of embraces both is important to us. He's looking at Half Moon Bay but I'm still very unsure of things so I'd love some recommendations on the scene and state overall and what fun things to do. I'd also love to hear from fellow BIPOC on your experiences. Is racism really bad there? Have you only dealt with small instances of things happening or has it been an ongoing nightmare?
