Teen Gothic

I've been trying to get into goth from punk. The only goth stuff I listen to is 45 Grave, The Cure, and some egg punk that walks a kind a fine line between punk and goth like Skull Cult and Poison Ruin.

I want some real dancy goth tunes! shit that moves me, Harsh vocals are always a plus for me too, but throw anything at me.

GIVE. ME. YOUR. RECS!

This is generally subjective but I always feel like Im not doing enough to truly emerse myself into a newly discovered band. I listen to a few albums and love what I hear but then feel as if there is something more that is needed to be considered a fan. Ive taken an effort to research origins and band members past and future projects but eventually I move onto a different band and some of the details fog away with another band taking its place. Real goths who have emersed themselves in the subculture for much longer then I always seems to just have this encyclopedia in the back of their minds and I listen with so much awe, Im frankly jealous of how natural it all sounds. I want that but dont know what Im doing wrong

Im goth and I wear spiked chokers and everyone at my school thinks I’m into bdsm. It’s rlly annoying and makes me anxious. I won’t stop wearing it but I would like to put a little knowledge into their thick skulls

Thank you all for the help.

You know I always had a inner goth in me, I always denied myself as a goth despite the fact I listen to some of the music, I always thought that being a goth meant to be one in general having some traits and listening to the music, And in the end really its more of if you listen to the music you are already a goth, The first goth song I have ever listened to was surprisingly and I am not sure if this counts at all but it was the most mysterious song on the internet, Yes that was literally the song's name and I kinda got curious into its the genre since I liked it soo much, I delved into it more and found out it was gothic, And from time to time I started to listen to goth music, But what really got me in into being a goth was, The march violets – natural history, I was listening to random goth music on spotify in like 1 AM while drrawing, And I remember specifically this kicking in, Giving me the most satisfying goosebump ever.

And here I am finally getting into being goth, And posting here, I may look like the biggest conformist yet, But I am a goth from the inside and I wanted to know what completely got you in into being a goth too? Or threw you in, In that case?

My introduction, the band that made me fall in love with this music was Lebanon hanover when I was 19. I’m 21 now And didn’t start getting into “goth“ culture until I found Lebanon Hanover but since then I’ve became a big fan of bands like: the cure, joy division, black marble, motorama, siouxie, the sound, chameleons, molchat doma, she past away, human Tetris, bauhaus, Christian death….etc

Hi yall, I know this post probably gets said a bunch so I'm sorry if this is just spam to a lot of the active people, but I'm trying to find some goth music to get me into the genre. I have a hard time assessing my music tastes at some times and I've listened to a few songs from artists I don't remember, but I definitely know I enjoy the genre. I really just want to find one if not a couple of artists to listen to their work (how I usually first listen music). If the metal and punk stuff I listen to helps, I like Rise Against, SOAD, A day to remember, amity affliction, killswitch engage, of mice and men, I prevail, and more that might just gum up this post. Sorry again if this is an every day post for yall regulars, I really appreciate the help
