Teen Gothic

I'm looking for the best, most accesible, newish bands to start a friend over into goth music, I tried with the 80 stuff but the production was a turn off for them, so I wanna get them into newer bands and work my way from there, help

PS: I started them w/ AFIs Blood Album / Bodies w have a lot of pretty good goth elements and they enjoyed that

EDIT: I get AFI is not a goth band, I never said they were ?? I said my friend was a fan so I showed them their newer stuff as I thought it would be a good segway lol, can we not derail the subjet please? at this point mentioning any other band that's not goth here is a sin or something. Im not making that mistake ever again… thanks for the dislikes though

Most of the songs in my Goth Playlist are having female vocals so please recommend me some Goth music with male vocals. Something dark, sexy, romantic would be great. Melancholic stuff is fine too.

Guys, know any good Goth bands to listen to that's soothing for the soul when anxiety starts to build up. Life is stressing me out and I need to listen to some shit with a melodic feel. Something soft and not to rough. And has beats, I'm not too into vocals, y'know what I mean. Not sure if I'm looking for any Darkwave or Ethereal, I don't stumble onto those too often, as I'm still building my Library.

Give me some good band suggestions peeps. So I don't feel like sighing my soul out of my body.

I’m trying to find more goth music that’s like this really synth heavy stuff… I think it’s called “ethereal wave” but I’m really not sure. I stumbled upon dark wave researching gothic metal and more industrial music. This synth goth stuff is cool but when I look up “dark wave” it’s like anything that’s gothic or dark post-punk in general. Is ethereal wave correct for the more atmospheric synth stuff? Sometimes that gets tagged on shoegaze/dream pop stuff so I’m not sure if that’s right either. Also if it helps I’m looking for mostly electronic artists, not a goth rock band that uses some synthesizers, if there’s much of that. Or any playlists on Spotify/apple
