Teen Gothic

I’m a huge shoegaze fan and we have our good few movies that are a part of the holy shoegaze canon (Araki stuff, Lost in Translation), but do goths have any? They don’t necessarily have to have goth music, but if you do know any movies with goth songs, I’d love to hear them. Movies that capture the atmosphere of goth music, have a visual style relating to goth music, or just have successfully written goth characters. I’ve heard Lisa Frankenstein may fit.

Are there any movies that come to mind?

Recommend me movies that have goth characters in them. They don't have to be the main character. Thanks!

My partner and I were trying to think of goth songs that are prominently featured in movies and TV shows, like Bela Lugosi's Dead in The Hunger. The thing is that we were mostly coming up with songs that aren't actually goth (like Goodbye Horses in Silence of the Lambs) or are there but not featured (Love Cats in the background of an episode of NCIS.)

Can you think of any songs that are actually goth and featured in movies or tv shows?

Books that are inspired by music, the movement, or just have a good story where the main characters like goth rock music.
