Teen Gothic

do yall keep getting recommended the goth conservative thingy? i looked through it and kinda got irritated. theyre acting like being conservative doesn’t kill and harm ppl. they’re also acting like goth isn’t political. the subculture has ALWAYS been political bc it branches off of punk. music is political whether they like it or not. i just cannot understand how ppl can be so ignorant especially goths (if u would even call them that). it’s really disappointing to see.

Anybody ever hear about or want to lovingly reminisce on the now legendary Emo, Goth, Punk Wars of Metro Insurgentes Mexico City, Mexico? Did you know that in 2008, the Insurgentes Mexico City metro station was the site of an hours-long fight between emo, punk, metal, and goth groups? The police couldn’t stop the grouping. Then suddenly a group of Hare Krishnas joined in and only they were able to disperse the crowds lol! This is one of my favorite endings of all time. Thought people here might appreciate it. Heres a video too, not the best translation but better than nada: https://fb.watch/lugBvlf8PH/?fs=e&s=cl

In the past couple of days we've had an unusual amount of "recommend me songs/albums and bands/artists" threads, so I just wanted to give some visibility to the "Music Page" on our Wiki.

If you're new to goth and wanting some essentials, a metalhead looking for some recommendations, or someone just looking for a good playlists, then that page is for you.

I'm starting to add to it again, but bear in mind I work full time (and I'm away on the weekend, seeing Bauhaus) so please be patient. If you have anything you think would be a good fit, please comment it and explain why. Playlists must have some structure or theme about them (so, please no "goth playlists" with 30 Cure songs on it and one Type O song), which could be anything from the best of from a particular decade, the best of from a certain genre, etc. (I'll point out that we don't need anymore essential/starter playlists, though).

Lastly, please keep it goth, as in, no metal, industrial, neoclassical, etc. music mixed in as this is r/goth and if we're introducing people to new music, we want it to be goth rather than "it's dark enough to be included there so it's fine".
