Teen Gothic

Just a quick announcement to say that we have a new flair for live music, including full concerts and songs. If it's professionally recorded: music, new music video, or even live music are all acceptable flairs to use.

They aren't meant to be so restricting it's impossible to mark them, but they do need to be generally accurate. I'm not to hard on them unless you use "Spooky Saturday" when it's Tuesday, or something.

I also want to take this opportunity to ask what flairs people might want adding? The subreddit grows everyday and I'm interested to hear new people's (or subscribers) suggestions. (Note that if it's fashion related, posting on Friday's under Fashion Friday or over on r/GothFashion is the better option, otherwise it gets quite hard to manage the flow of selfies.)

Good morning!

We're gonna start being more strict with how we handle people that suggestes non-goth music in here.

Before we just removed your post. But from now on we'll start to handing out temp bans to repeat offenders, as it's so many that keeps suggesting music that isn't goth.

This means if you are gonna suggest a song it must be goth. If you are uncertain, check the wiki that u/DeadDeathrocker have done an amazing job with.

We will as often as time permits, make a reply why your post was removed from now on. And if you after that keeps suggesting playlists or tracks that isn't goth or have a few tracks that isn't goth, we'll be banning folks for a week or so.

The most common bands so far seem to be: Type O, Depeche Mode, 69 Eyes, and a drove of metal, witchhouse artists, etc.

This is to help new folks get what they need to get started, and for folks to get what they request.

Hi everyone, long time goth fashion wearer but still a baby bat in terms of actual goth culture. I posted kind of a backstory under this thread which led me to wanting to ask this question.

The tl;dr version of it is that I only started listening to goth music about a couple months ago but because my tastes are both varied and oddly specific at the same time it’s been hard for me to find the type of goth music I enjoy listening to. I’m the kind of person who likes a handful of songs from different artists but said artists aren’t necessarily my favorite.

So far I really enjoy ACTORS’ sound. I’d like to find more artists similar sounding to them. But I’m an alt-pop singer myself so I tend to enjoy female vocals, especially ones that are very powerhouse-y and vocal acrobatics-y. Additionally I’m a freak for love songs. I love romantic melodies and lyrics. I haven’t found anything like those either, so if anyone has any recommendations for those as well I’d really appreciate it! Artists of any decade are welcome!

I feel like I’ve gone way too long having a complete misconception about what goth really is and it’s time for me to school myself and stop being a poser. I’m here to learn 🙂

Hello, newbie here. I know this has probably been asked a million times on this sub, but I'd like some recommendations for Goth music and/or bands.

I myself have listened to very little Gothic music. The first one I heard, and probably alot of other people have too, was Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus. I was not a fan, it just seemed too slow paced and quiet to me.

So, if this genre has it, can anyone provide more "hard core" Goth styled music for me? I'd appreciate it.
