Teen Gothic

Hi all!

I am writing my Master’s thesis for the University of Amsterdam, and my topic is about the relationship between gender and subculture. In order for me to gather data to analyse this, I’m conducting a survey targeted at members of some subcultures, and I thought it would be a good idea to look at some Reddit communities.

Here you can find the link to my survey. It only takes about 5-10 minutes to complete, and I need at least 100 responses by June so that I can receive my Master’s diploma. It would be such an amazing help if you could give me your insight into your experience within this community and of course, any feedback on the survey itself is more than welcome. You can contact me through Reddit itself or through my email (which you can find in the survey).

Finally, if you could take the time and send it to some other goths that you know, that would be amazing. The more responses I get, the better I can represent the community!

Thank you so much in advance, I’m very excited to find out about your stories.

Hey, y'all! My fiancé and I are getting married in October this year, and we are doing an all black, goth themed wedding. It will be outside in a wooded area, with some Pagan themes during the wedding ceremony. I'm already in over my head with planning, but am at a complete loss of where to even start for appropriate music! We're not sure what to do as far as music during the processional or vows, any suggestions? Please help! Thank y'all in advance 🖤

Hey so I may end up having to DJ a gig tonight, it's an 80s goth/dark wave thing but I'm way more familiar with bands from the 90s..

So far I've got *Clan of Xymox *Fields of The Nephilim *Skeletal Family *Specimen *Sex Gang Children *Play Dead *Xmal Deutschland *Red Lorry Yellow Lorry *The Bolshoi *45 Grave *Christian Death *Bauhaus *and Siouxsie

This is super last min as the other DJs got covid and I'm not super qualified so I'm hoping they're lenient and let me use albums from 90-93 at least lol Any suggestions are helpful! What would you want to hear at a gig?

of course i understand that listening to music is a huge aspect of goth culture, and i do listen to goth music every now and then, such as tsom, bauhaus, etc. i also do know that you can enjoy other music while still being part of the goth culture. however, i don’t know what to call myself? i also like music from many other subcultures including visual kei, and metal, and some punk occasionally. clothing wise, i dress in (what my punk boyfriend) says is a casual punk style. i’m just having a hard time finding what to refer to myself as. any help is appreciated, thank you. 🖤

I'm looking for the best, most accesible, newish bands to start a friend over into goth music, I tried with the 80 stuff but the production was a turn off for them, so I wanna get them into newer bands and work my way from there, help

PS: I started them w/ AFIs Blood Album / Bodies w have a lot of pretty good goth elements and they enjoyed that

EDIT: I get AFI is not a goth band, I never said they were ?? I said my friend was a fan so I showed them their newer stuff as I thought it would be a good segway lol, can we not derail the subjet please? at this point mentioning any other band that's not goth here is a sin or something. Im not making that mistake ever again… thanks for the dislikes though

Hello, last year i discovered this video compilation, but without a tracklist, i've tried to discover the name of the song that starts at around 7:08, without sucess :/. Sounds to me like some 90s goth rock, if you know the name of the band/track, please share. Thank you all ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Sc9PSc9iw&t=541s
