Teen Gothic

Siouxie and the Banshees & Bauhaus are my 2 favourites right now. I just want to dance in an abandoned graveyard under a full moon, with no one for miles. Its such a special vibe that I've never ever had with any other music.

Please give me more artists/bands reccomendations! Or you could tell me your favorite songs from the either that I've listed!

Hi there,

My daughter is nine years old and recently told me she is tired of dressing like a little girl.

She has always gravitated towards goth stuff and asked for it. I want to take her shopping for stuff so she can define her own style but I don't know where to start. I'm not involved with this culture at all and am pretty ignorant.

I know there is more to being g goth than just how you dress. But I was hoping someone could point me on the right direction so my daughter can express herself better.

I'm in Albuquerque, NM. Are there stores you guys shop at where she can browse?

Thank you!

Main point: please show me some early 2000’s goth culture things like videos, music, animations, and really anything iconic from that era.

Context: I’m a baby bat. Been into goth stuff pretty much all my life cuz of my mom (who is not goth). I’d just never identified with it till a few months ago because I’d never looked into it before then. Anyway I was just wondering if there was like a big goth presence in the early 2000’s. If I’m not mistaken, I probably am, it seems to be “mall goth” I think. And I wanted to ask for any pieces of goth nostalgia from the early 2000s.

I was at The Mission and The Chameleons last night in Seattle and at one point confetti went off during a song. A piece settled into the hair of a girl in front of me. The man standing next to me who WAS NOT WITH THE GIRL started to reach over to pick the confetti out of her hair. I pushed his arm away because don’t fucking touch strangers like that. Yeah it’s a show and you’re going to be pressed together to an extent but there was just something so gross about it.

People want pretty pictures on their walls. My girlfriend gets free posters in her metal albums all the time, and not one in my collection came with one. Maybe I'm just buying the wrong ones, not sure.

Please, even if they are small.

I know it's money, but even huge bands in the scene do not include any.

Even as a separate purchase, do sell them online.

Cheers

I just started listening to goth music and I really like some of it… some of it I don’t really like at all. Could someone point me in the direction of similar sounding vocals/beats? So far I really like Black Planet (my favorite) by The sisters of Mercy, Forever Suffer by Dark, Alien by Lebanon Hanover, and Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge. Any recommendations?
