Teen Gothic

gfs birthday is coming up and shes goth, I got her this rly cool looking cd player but she only has like 1 cd so i wanted to burn her a couple so she could use it. dont want anything too obvious or mainstream i dont want it to look like i typed "goth love song" into google and saved the first 10 results. here are a few of the songs i already have :

• here is to you my love /pink turns blue
• mirror /bleib modern
• grace /entwine
• angel grey /seraphim shock
• and there will be your heart also /fields of the nephilim
• all the beauty /mortal love
• enslaved /diva destruction
• heaven /redlorryyellowlorry

i wont list everything bcs its a pretty long playlist but i just feel like its not enough/some of the songs arent good enough.

if it helps to get a feel of what she likes to listen to here are some of her favorite bands:

• paralysed age

• him

• indigo raven

• praise of folly

• love like blood

• sanguis et cinis

• diva destruction

• bleib modern

• la scaltra

-lycia

• faith and the muse

• trance to the sun

• skeletal family

• the naked and the dead

• deadchovsky

• faith & disease

• the birthday massacre

• darling violetta

• mute angst envy

• haunt me

• mortal love

• the shroud

so anything like that would be rly good. id prefer sappy over sexy but ill take anything just so i can have a bigger library of songs to look through. i have a few weeks. thank you

What goth albums do you think need a vinyl release?

For me it’s the first two Xmal Deutschland albums, they’ve been OOP for years and they’re super popular so I can see them getting the 180 Gram treatment.

So, I have been in the alt/gothic community for a while and I have just now got Reddit so hello.! Well now on to the assistance, I am a baby bat and don’t know all the ropes and I am worried if there a right a wrong way to goth. I am a short petite girl on here way to go to college in a couple of months. I dress goth for the most part but I listen to any and every type of music, and recently I was accused of being a ‘fake’. Which is astronomic to me but I just wanted to make sure there is a specific way I am supposed to do this than just being my happy self.?

I “dress” goth for work why the fuck not, right? Well, I need help learning how to UNtease my hair without (what feels like) losing half of my hair! I have super super long hair (down to my butt) so it takes a LOT of teasing to do for my hair, but brushing it out and washing it hurts so much and my hands end up sore. Is there a safe way to do this? Is my hair just too long?

Baby bat here and I was abruptly reminded of an infamous webtoon comic that was literally named Goth. They look like what you would get if you combined e-boy, punk, emo, and all sorts of “edgy” styles together into one unholy mess. Also turns out, the author says the “goth” character is their self-insert. And then proceeds to post photos of them in the most un-goth fashion style. I know goth isn’t about the way you dress but the way that person presented themselves was a complete misrepresentation of what goths actually are.

This kind of misrepresentation just makes me really frustrated because it erases the music part of what it means to be goth and waters it down to just wearing black and edgy things. Things like these also frustrate me a lot because music is extremely important to me because it is a powerful method of communicating and expressing emotions. Music is something very rich in expression and it pains me to see people remove goth music, the very thing that goth subculture is built upon, and replace it with this strange version of “goth” that is being presented.

Please don’t send hate to them if you know who they are. This is just a rant to blow off steam. I just think that goth music is beautiful and great and all I want is for other people to see that and appreciate it as well.

I've recently been getting into the kind of music that siouxsie and the banshees make, and I really liked the song "Dear Prudence", so I'm looking for more songs of that kind.

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
