Teen Gothic

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?

I'm compiling a cold wave playlist on Spotify. My problem with the ones I usually find is they seem to be entire albums (sometimes entire discographies) thrown together seemingly without any criterion other than make the playlist huge, and using basically the same dozen artists Spotify already suggests when you create a cold wave playlist.

So I decided to ask for help in my research: I already started it with almost two hours of some of the classics of the genre, but there's a lot of room for expansion. This time I'm looking for artists of 1990s, for now I won't add revival/contemporary stuff (though I will definitely add it in the future). I think synthesizer based Dark wave/goth (which used to be called synthwave before the term was hijacked by edm heads) would also fit, so suggestions are appreciated.

P.S.: here's the link for the playlist I have right now: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3DVLAqqnNzQn2ek2SU2UsE
