Teen Gothic

hihi! so like… erm we all know how goth music is predominately white 🙁 i was wondering if anyone has some goth bands that have people of color in them ^_^

I know dark wave is a sub genre of new wave, which isn’t goth, so I’m unsure if it’s correct to call dark wave a genre of goth music. Same with ethereal wave.

I’m a babybat so I’m still learning but could you guys help me differentiate which sub genres are considered goth and which are just enjoyed by goths?

Thank you!!

That's the question, cheers.

I wanted to know what artists do you consider "true goth" as I've been trying to look up for that but a lot of people just says which ones aren't goth (Marilyn Manson, NIN, MCR) and I've even seen people saying that Bauhaus, Siouxsie or Sisters of Mercy aren't "true goth".

Edit: just to clarify, I'm not talking about the bands I've just mentioned. I'd like to know your picks on "true goth" bands besides the big ones.

I’m starting to get into more goth-y music Idk if these count but I really like Christian death, Depeche Mode, and London after midnight. Any suggestions ?

To start, hey guys I’m 30/F/Black and you can of course deduct that it wasn’t “cool” for me to have my music interests when I was younger. I first heard SOAD and then went down a rabbit hole to find great music but I don’t have enough goth knowledge to know good goth artists. I’d love some recommendations. To give you an idea of my tastes, here’s a few songs I like:

Final Service – Ritual Howls The Offering – Sleep Token Follow Your Ghost – Periphery Kalt – kælan Mikla Gallowdance – Lebanon Hanover The Catacombs – Shadow of Intent

I know a lot of those aren’t goth, which is why I need your help! Haha

Thanks in advance, you lovely people.
