(I'm one of the DJs for the event, not actually part of the Fiction DC crew. Just wanted to add this little disclaimer so as to not misrepresent my connection to the event.)

I know goth is already anti-establishment but I'd like to hear more social justice in music.

I can definitely differentiate in many cases but I’m curious to how to properly differentiate it music wise because a lot of gothic rock sounds like standard post-punk and whenever I hear a post punk song I wonder if it’s gothic rock, ik lyrical themes play a big role and all but I wanna know how to properly tell the difference, I’m still learning about the subculture so I’m open to learning.

Recommendations.

I lost my great grandmother last night & would appreciate some song recommendations that I can relate to

Preferably not any romantic songs please🤍

What really is the difference because I hear people saying that the cure she wants revenge and joy division are all not goth and post punk but then see them in goth playlists is there a difference?

Is it possible to be both goth AND punk? I've recently got into both genres and I like both equally, music and fashion wise

I think the answer is yes, but I'm just a baby bat.

Goth is an offshoot of post-punk, where the ethos that came with being punk was anti-establishment. Whereas it seems to be that being Goth is about being anti-conformity.

I'm not too involved in the punk scene, but I feel like the ethos is emphasized more than listening to the music in the circles of punk, where it's my observation that it is more the opposite with goth.

If I'm being honest, I love the music, but I think it's the personalities, lifestyle, and attitude of being goth that got me attracted to the subculture in the first place. Oh and I learned to appreciate the music in the process.

Let me know if I'm wrong.
