Teen Gothic

Hello! I’m writing a book currently and I tend to get inspiration or new ideas by listening to music. I am looking for something dark but romantic. Examples like Star-crossed or tragedy or similar topics. Thank you!! I don’t mind how old the song is as long I can imagine the story play out.

I for one love them a lot so far

I was listening to the for the first time and I immediately love the band especially the song ( I’m doing time in a Maximum Security Twilight House )

Hi, Firstly let me start of by saying I hope I'm not violating rule #1 on this subreddit as I hope this post is relevant enough to the subcalture and Idk where else I could post this discussion. But if it does violate community guidelines in some way, mods please let me know where a more appropriate place to post this discussion would be. Now on to my main point. What initially got me thinking about this topic was when I first heard the cover of "Jolene" by Tears for the Dying. I love that cover and strongly urge anyone to give it a listen for themselves if they haven't already. Other covers I really like are "The mercy seat" by nick cave and the Bad seeds, "Dear Prudence" by Souxie and the Banshees, and "The Witch" by Rosetta Stone. There are lots of older dark country and folk songs that I'd love to see covered by a goth bands such as the song "Long Black Vail" it's such as dark atmospheric country song and I think what could only make it better is if it was covered by a post-punk, dark wave, or gothic rock band

:333 (idk what i should’ve put for the tag)

by the way, if anyone can tell me: how rare is this CD? i tried looking it up online, and found a few results, but not a lot and most were secondhand listings. this was pressed (and seemingly distributed) in France; i live in the United States.

It's like I found my way back to my long lost home, since I was a kid I always listened to Rock en Español and classic rock. Ever since I moved to the U.S. particularly L.A. there was only one station (Superestrella 107.1) that played Rock en Español and other hispanic music, I lost track when it was taken down and throughout high school I only listened to whatever it was mainstream thinking that what I used to listen was long gone.

Until my friend's girlfriend recommended me some shows that played that music.

Then I went to Gothicumbia on New Year's Eve and instantly felt like I came back home, they literally played all the songs I liked and had a blast, first time I've ever been in a moshpit and a happy accident occurred when I bumped into a girl and danced with her for a minute. People were chill, friendly, and very lively.

I just loved it.

Just to be clear, I don’t consider myself goth nor do I claim to know goth music. But I’ve grown to appreciate at least what I know as goth in the form of The Cult. I definitely enjoy the allure and atmosphere of Love, Dreamtime too. I was curious about what everyone’s opinion on the album is. I know to some it was seen as The Cult straying away from their roots (and later straying further away with Electric and Sonic Temple).
