Teen Gothic

Show me what you know of that exists in that category, please! Like really southern sounding goth music that has some twang to it, I need that shit in my life post-haste!

So i mainly listen to metal particularly the sludgy shit (eyehategod, dystopia, crowbar ect…) but i have recently been on a goth spiral and wanted to find music with some common ground. But i have a problem, you would think goth metal would be my answer but no. I fkn love type 0 they are my favorite band, but they are not really goth in the post punk sense and i have not found any other bands in the "goth" metal genre that are not –in my opinion– symphonic shite or type 0 rip offs. So if any one could point me in the right direction, if there is one, that would be amazing thanks. and if there is not id better get on that gap in the market.

i know this doesn't directly relate to post punk/goth music but i need more goth than goth metal sorry

also if i am completely wrong about something i am a goth foetus and am not educated so educate me 🙂

[edit] i know ton is not goth i am not looking for that

Recommendations.

Do you guys know any good Japanese goth bands?

I'm especially into things like powerviolence/grind/d beat, but generally anything across the extreme punk rock/hardcore/metal realm. I'm looking for goth music that's also maybe inspired or adjacent to that, or that you just think would be enjoyable for people that also enjoy that stuff. Also my friend showed me 45 Grave and I really enjoyed them.

By the way there's this band from Albany NY called Wet Specimens that fits this category, it's the only one I can think of myself lol, try them out, they're sick.

Recently getting into goth music through a suggested play list I found. A lot of it is somber dance music and I like it but I want something for a chiller mood as well. Something that makes me feel like I’m staring out the window on a rainy day. Similar to the sound of the song I linked

Something like the cure, I find myself gravitating to songs with a bit more of a cadence and a beat, I love the cure and Depeche Mode but I don’t know a lot of bands that make higher energy music like that while maintaining the gothic nature.

I know that mallgoths lean more twords the genre of nu metal but ice recently saw my self loving goth music and Type 0 negitive. I'm even thinking about maybe being a vampire goth because I love vampires and stuff. But knowing the relationship of how goths did not like mallgoths I don't know if I should like it or not and just stick to nu metal instead. What should I do?
