Teen Gothic

I don’t mean which city has the most goths, I’m just wondering which city’s ambience, culture and vibe is most suitable for a goth. I’m not even talking specifically about the music scene itself, or even gothic architecture, but rather trying to find which city on earth would be most suitable for the goth mindset and emotional landscape.

My personal thoughts are London, not just for the weather but also the size and diversity of it; it’s a place where you can dress however without feeling too judged. Maybe NYC’s the same but I haven’t been there. Of course the UK has the music history too: Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Siouxsie and The Banshees, etc. So there’s that.

But I wanted to hear other people’s thoughts – what do you think??

Hi! I was wondering what are the most played goth songs at clubs/goth nights? I actually haven't had the chance to go to a goth club/night because the scene is literally non-existent here, and I was wondering if there are some recurrent songs.

I guess they'd choose the most danceable/funky ones, like.. this corrosion, snake dance, let's go to bed, whatever song from soft cell or depeche mode… but I can't imagine what else. Do they also play stuff from adjacent genres, as long as the vibes are similar? What song have you heard the most? Are there any songs you wish they'd play (more, if at all)?

Which songs are the most unhinged, noisy or downright batshit crazy? I’m looking for extremes

Well, sometimes you just need to hit that spot, you know when you’ve had a shit week (or year), and listening to something so sad and melancholy actually makes you feel better?

For me, The Cure’s Disintegration album used to do that but I think it’s lost that vibe with me now, any other suggestions? Newer work too would be good!

I can’t recommend “I Saw Nothing Good So I Left” By Bragolin enough. Definitely check them out on YouTube or Spotify. Wherever you can find the album.

So im new to gothic music i'm baby bat or whatever you call it lol but i already can see the diffrent in gothic rock songs some more upbeat some more dark in their sound.

Honestly i never thought this is how gothic music is gonna sound i thought it will be more dark in the lyrics and more heavy but i like it anyway and i like to discover.

Please list the most obscure or underground gothic rock band you know of (whether you enjoy their music or not). Perhaps even suggest your own music if you have made some! 😄

I geeked out on this. I opted to have my name printed on Black Angel's newest record Lascivious.

Also, been wishing and hoping for these two excellent Rosetta Stone albums to be printed on vinyl, and they finally arrived!!!!
