Teen Gothic

Hello!! I’m new to goth music and have been going down lists and lists of the most recommended classic songs and bands. Of Lilies and Remains is one of the songs that truly clicked for me. The bassline, the innovative melody, the lyrics, the weird instruments… it sounds so fresh and unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. I can’t even describe how I’m supposed to feel when listening to the song, it’s not sad and moody, nor overly funky and upbeat, it just has this very specific vibe that carries this calm, manic energy.

It feels so strange to ask how do I go about looking for music in the same genre, considering it’s clearly under the goth umbrella. I just have yet to encounter any other songs like that! Any recommendations will be highly appreciated

People really like goth people in a horny way than being goth lol or actually just liking em.

I’ve been really into cocteau twins, the cure (specifically disintegration), and labonen hanover the past month. I like the way Etherealwave sounds, but I want to discover more bands outside of that!! It would be nice if someone could link me up with a playlist. Also, where do you guys purchase your jewelry and clothes from? I can’t seem to find a place with affordable necklaces and decor 🙁 I’ve tried thrifting many times but haven’t found lots of goods, and I’m not good at DIY. I don’t even know how to sew or anything like that! I would like to dress up more, but it’s hard with said circumstances 😢 Thank you!

Since I graduated highschool last year, I have had the hardest time finding the time to dress goth. It honestly makes so me depressed when I think about it too much. 😭 I just feel like I can’t be myself anymore. I have to wear scrubs and tennis shoes to school as I’m going into cosmetology. For work, I have to wear a shirt with my jobs logo on it and pants “but not jeans.” So, basically khakis.(I have gotten away with like cargo/utility pants before.) I live in a pretty small town, so there’s not much to do outside of work or school that I can dress up for. Definitely no cool goth clubs. 💔 Online everyone seems to focus on corporate goth, but I work a pretty outdoorsy job.

I have had a lot of people tell me “welcome to the real world” when I have expressed this, so I’m hoping maybe someone here will have some suggestions!

Edit: for context I’m a girl lol

i dont know what to put here

So I' ve recent discovered more modern goth music and I am in love. My favourites are Twin Tribes, Traitrs and The Agnes Circle and I am looking for similar bands that have a similar vibe 🙂

I love this band so much. I still haven’t heard anything like them yet. Sadly the most I could find outside of this album was a tribute song to Karen Black.

I still hope there’s another song hidden away somewhere I haven’t heard. If you know anything lmk.

Does anyone know of any bands in the vein of Keluar or VR Sex? I'm searching for stuff that is danceable and spacious sounding. (prefereably made in the last 10 years)
