Teen Gothic

Hi everyone, sorry if this is a dumb question.

An acquaintance of mine is a "DJ" for an online radio station that caters mainly to "oldies" rock music from the 50s – 70s or so. It made me wonder if there is such a thing for goth music, or, maybe more broadly, alternative music that would/could include goth music.

I am aware of Spotify playlists and etc. but I am looking more for an online radio station format with DJs that play sets at specific times.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what else to call it, but What "tropes" or "motifs" I guess that can be found in goth songs do you like the most? Either lyrically or sonically? For example, one of my favorite goth lyric tropes is dark romance and Sonically, when they use church bells or wolf howling.

I recently saw Twin Tribes live and really enjoyed their song Sangre de Oro. Unfortunately, that seems to be their only song in Spanish so I'm looking for something similar. Anyone got recommendations on Spanish goth bands or specific songs?

One of my favorite ways to express my creativity within the subculture is by making these MVs using my favorite songs at the time and putting them to footage of me exploring the darker corners of the world. These places are often bat caves in different cities to delve into local scenes, concerts, and record stores, old cemeteries, alternative fashion boutiques and markets, macabre attractions, and places filled with dark history. Some are concert footage or conversations around my vinyl collection. Hopefully, you all will enjoy some of my shenanigans in this creepy little world, here are some of my latest adventure:

Gothic LA

Gothic Nashville

Gothic Mexico City

Some Vinyl talk

I recently found out that I love goth music. I mostly listen to Corpus delicti, twin tribes, Bragolin, Linea Aspera, Bauhaus.

I had a tendency to dress in black clothes (I know that dressing in black does not makes an outfit gothic) since I was a child.

I do not feel like I should label myself as goth. I am sayingthis bc there is an high probability that after a few months of listening constantly to goth music I will be tired of this tyle of music and I do not want to consider myself goth and then after half an year I won't even listen to this genre.

It happened to me that I listened to a genre for a few months like a crazy amount of time and then, on one day I just stopped listeningto that type of music.

And for some reason I feel unease when I see these gothic outfits that a lot of goth people wear.

So is it ok to just listen to this type of music whitout labeling myself as goth ? And maybe incorporating some ideas from goth outfits into my own style ?

For some reason people around my age ( 19-20 yo ) either call others posers if people just want to listen to goth music whitout other implications posers, or they just sexualize this subculture.

Am I a poser if I listen to goth music without labeling myself as goth ?

I like goth rock and death rock a lot but a lot of it doesn’t hit for me when i’m in a very depressed state. This probably sounds stupid asf but idgaf. I’m just wondering if anyone knows any goth songs with lyrics or atmospheres that evoke a suicidal, depressive vibe.

A lot of the most popular goth songs seem pretty happy or energetic. I want something that sounds like it was written by someone who lost all hope and only lives in total misery. Something that would feel cathartic if I felt suicidal. Kind of like depressive, suicidal black metal but, without the black metal/harsh vocals.

also: I don’t really like The Cure. I know they have some sad songs but they just never hit the right vibe for me. They’re music isn’t dark or brooding enough, idk.
