Teen Gothic

This is very exciting. I’ve never thought she would play a show in the states.

I find this kind of funny, but often around my friends who don’t identify as goth, just don’t vibe with the subculture, or not really even sure what goth is I play goth music. They usually like it and often ask me what band or artist is playing hahaha. I think they don’t realize it because they’re expecting something way different. I just straight don’t tell them while I’m DJing in the car and they usually like the music I’m playing hahaha. Does anyone else have this experience or is it always turn that **** off (experienced this as well) haha

Examples of liked bands: Twin Tribes, Drab Majesty, Colonizing elsewhere

Examples of Turn that ****off: Literally anytime I put on any death rock band

(I’m the drummer)

Sorry for the random-ish dump i was too shy to make 2 posts at once :> lmao

A question, thats been lingering for a awhile, popped up in my head here …

Any recommendations on newer generations of really good gothic rock guitarists / guitar playing in the style of Marx/Hussey/King etc?

To be more specific: What I’m looking for is not more too simple copies of Wayne Hussey or the 2020s school of minimalism and so on. I’m looking for players like Porl King (when Rosetta Stone was still active) and Mark Wheeler (Who played on Irony of fate with Love like blood ages ago before they turned into a different more metal influenced act) who in my opinion took the style of playing into new directions but still stood with both feet in Gothic rock if you know what I mean.

Many of the newer bands I’ve come across are aiming for something more simple and minimalistic: Say, Molchat Doma – they’re great but they’re a bit of a different thing to me than my fave guitar goth acts (who all seems to have popped up in the 80s and 90s) She passed away is well produced and has good intense energy and so on but the guitars are nowhere near what Porl King did and Wayne Hussey still does (at least live)

Are there any new players/bands that I have missed? Any recommendations?

PS: I am very impressed by some of Pre-Occupations material by the way, I can hear clearly they've been through the LedZep, Hussey/Marx/S.Kilbey/Swans/fieldsofthe/etc thing but they doesn't count as a gothic rock band DS

Lol that was funny. I had to explain myself to one of the staff. Luckily, they still allowed me to play music.

It’s pretty unfortunate that the album’s name is that haha. Still got to listen the album, I’m pretty sure some of the other staff thought I was listening to music because it would be strange if I was listening to porn
