Teen Gothic

I go to goth concerts quite frequently, and something I noticed is I don’t recall ever hearing DJs playing songs by The Cure in between bands.

Obviously, there’s a massive selection of music to play from, so it could have just been my luck, but I was wondering, just in case, if it’s a thing to avoid playing them at goth clubs? I thought maybe it has to be due to their wide popularity, but I don’t know.

Also, is it inappropriate to ask DJs if they can play a certain song? I noticed a woman did that before, but it seems rare anyone approaches the DJ based on my experience, and I don’t know if she was successful.

The bass playing in the early ages of goth rock is the biggest reason I love the genre so much (being a bassist myself)

Are there any modern/newer goth rock band that anyone can suggest that has good bass (and/or guitar) playing that separates it from things like coldwave and other more electronic subgenres of goth?

Molchat Doma and Secret Shame are the only ones I can think of. Would love to hear more guitar/bass based goth rock from the past few years.
