“Need help to find a song” Song found.

Hello, I once made a post where I asked for help to find a song that I heard at a goth club. The description I used for such song was that there are parts where people scream "Hey!" really loud just once. I also thought the singer was a woman, but I was wrong. I found the song luckily because I heard it again at the club and got the chance to ask the DJ. The song is "Metropolis" by Schwefel. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me. Here's a link to the song 🙂

Help with a song by Paralysed Age

Paralysed Age has a song on the album Tragedia Nosferata called Last Mystery, and since the song is not that much popular there is no lyrics to it on the web. I understand english but not 100% so I can't understand the lyrics very well and it seems there's no way to contact the band on the internet. Can someone please listen to Last Mystery by Paralysed Age and maybe write the lyrics for me? It's one of my favorite goth songs and I would be very grateful

Need help with recommendations for fashion, and music recommendations.

Some background:I recently got into the subculture and fell in love with the music, and I'm getting into the fashion and it's growing on me a lot recently.

I would like some ideas or recommendations in attire cause my entire wardrobe consists of dark colored sweaters, button ups, dark jeans, and a few band tees I got on discount. I'm on the smaller/shrimper side of that helps.

Also, I'm having trouble finding bands I like, and have just been listening to a few artists and playlists I have found in the wild, and from the sub. Much help would be greatly appreciated.

Help support women’s rights with our new Joy Thieves remix

It's been 1 Year since the end of Roe vs Wade, putting an end to the constitutionally protected right to a woman's access to abortion services, and in some states, that includes endometriosis and other complications putting a woman's life in danger and possibly death.

While I'm honored to be included in the amazing alternative super-group/collective The Joy Thieves. I wish becoming a member was for more positive reasons.

My contribution was a joint project with World Goth Co-Founder Lee Meadows, aka DJ Batboy Slim, AKA, Code Name: Lola, AKA bassist for the band The Glasshouse Museum

DISSENT-ERTAINMENT: 6 TO 3 REMIXED has now been released It's a 'Name Your Price' release and ALL proceeds will be donated to the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF).

Non-goth mom trying to help punk/goth daughter.

First off, I apologize if this not the right place for this. I just typed in “goth Reddit” and ended up here. I have no one in my life to ask.

My (31,F) daughter (12,F) has always been very punk. That much I know. She’s more likely to listen to Cocteau Twins, NiN, and a bunch of other bands her dad is into. She watched Wednesday (Netflix, all of the Addams family movies), of course, and told me one day, “this is it. This is how I feel!”

She’s asked for help finding clothes to express her style, but I have no idea where to start.

Growing up I wasn’t allowed to express myself. Be it in music, hair, fashion, interests, even thoughts. I do not want this for my daughter. So here I am, asking internet strangers for help. Are there stores I can take her to? Online retailers I can let her look through? I poked around hot topic while she was at school and was not impressed. The tees are nice though.

Thank you in advance! Apologies again if this isn’t the right place!

The Sisters of Mercy — can someone help explain or or provide insight into the band’s genuinely bizarre creative & commercial decisions over the last few decades?

NONE OF WHAT FOLLOWS IS INTENDED AS A COMPLAINT OR CRITICISM. I know some people will probably be a little sensitive about this stuff, so I think it's worth stating that from the outset. I don't think The Sisters of Mercy have to work harder or be better. I don't think they owe us anything. If Eldritch & Company are happy, that's good enough for me. I'm largely just curious about why they operate the way they do. I don't read interviews or articles about the band, so I'm not sure if any of this has ever been addressed.

That said, I went to the Boston and NYC shows last month, and I got into a discussion about the band with a friend who picked me up from the airport. He owned and enjoyed Floodland, but knew little else about The Sisters. For the life of me I couldn't really explain certain decisions they've made over the years, namely stuff like:

They have not released a studio album in almost 30 years. Clearly they've been writing new material all this time, and performing it live. Why aren't there studio tracks? Eldritch seemed pretty fed up with record labels in the 90's, so that was understandable at the time. But we now live in an era of self-published music. Surely they could record stuff and sell it digitally, or sell self-pressed CDs at live shows. I would love to hear what their new stuff sounds like with proper production. I think in interviews Eldritch has made excuses about the cost of making new recordings, but certainly far less notable acts have managed to release music despite the cost.

They have virtually no presence on the internet. There is no official account for the band on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. The Sisters' official web page was pretty clearly designed in 1999, and hasn't been significantly updated since. Visiting their site is like stepping into a time machine, in a pleasant way. I kind of like how weirdly sterile and threadbare it is. Their merchandise page only accepts payment in UK pounds sterling, which is going to inherently limit the number of people buying merch. I don't want or expect them to be crazed capitalists, but it'd be nice if I could buy stuff without jumping through hoops.

They stopped touring in America for 15 years. The Sisters used to swing through North America every 2-3 years in the 2000's. I went to a few shows at the House of Blues Orlando during this time, and admittedly each one had diminishing returns in terms of crowd size. The first show I went to was crazy-packed, and the last one had a pretty sparse crowd. Maybe they thought a hiatus was necessary, and that their American audience was dwindling? Maybe they just run a lean-and-mean operation, and doing the Europe/Latin America festival scene was easier or more profitable? The 2023 American tour seems to have gone pretty well, so I hope they will come back soon.

The "new" logo. Why was the fairly beloved old Merciful Release logo replaced with the weird alien design? Aliens were in vogue in the 90's so I kinda get it, but we're 20 years on now and the "new" design feels much more dated and passe than the old one. Why do they insist on the newer logo when the old one is much more beloved and recognizable?

Is there any rhyme or reason to all this? Or should I just chalk it up as "Andrew Eldritch is a weirdo with strong convictions we'll never understand"?

Help

Hi everybody. Please tell me how Gothic rock differs from post-punk. So far I have found only two differences: 1) The external image of the performers. 2) The theme of the songs (in post-punk, mainly the theme of loneliness / suffering / self-search / pressure from the outside world. In Gothic rock, the theme of the songs is mostly mystical (vampires, werewolves, ghosts, death, rebirth) Is it true? I will be glad if you add more differences. Thanks everyone
