Teen Gothic

Everywhere I go on there you're either wading through AI generated album covers that instantly makes me not want to ever listen to your music, or it's tagged so poorly that I often find rap or just pop music being labeled as 'goth'. Bandcamp was and continues to be the easiest way to find goth music for me and have found some great bands on there that are still some of my favorites, but in recent months it's become a minefield to peruse anything there and a stroke of luck to find anything that hits.

The AI generated images just feel like a betrayal of the DIY ethos that should be integral to goth and deathrock and no goth musician should ever succumb to the diminishing and quick returns you get from them.

Just needed to vent. This shit is demoralizing.

Friend that works at my local skate shop sent me this. Pretty cool timing with the Bela Lugosi’s Dead 45th anniversary earlier this week.
