Teen Gothic

Hello. Getting back into Goth music and style, after a number of years away, and I was wondering if there are any must listen to bands, similar to Vision Video, She Past Away, or Twin Tribes. Preferably newer bands, as I have listened to the classics. Sorry if someone else has already asked this before.

I myself am rather fond of Bands such as Burzum, Emperor, Mayhem, Mutiilation, and many more. I am very diverse in taste though haven't delved deep into the Gothic genres. I was merely curious as to some takes on the Genre's best artists, and if possible some recommended groups that may be somewhat similar to the the style I have mentioned above. Thank you in advance. – C.G

Please Help 🙂 Gotta expand my playlist.

Hey, I'm fairly new to the scene and would like to find more songs/bands similar to the ones below, with a "raw" and darker sound in general, please help!!

One hundred years – The Cure https://youtu.be/MqYVmTmJEfA

Incubus Succubus – Xmal Deutschland https://youtu.be/rc4NkNHyYpQ

Burn – The Sisters of Mercy https://youtu.be/M3nciAZPCbU

Allegedly, dancefloor tragedy – Suspiria https://youtu.be/BTj7U22EF70

Lost – Horror Vacui https://youtu.be/qte6yRpdXH4

I’ve been into goth music for a few years, but I’m not as familiar with the genre as I am with something like post-hardcore, and I’d like some new groups to check out!

I like heavier stuff, so bands that don’t fit perfectly into the goth subgenre but still have elements of goth music are fine with me, too.

My favorite goth/goth adjacent groups are: – The Cure (mostly the Disintegration album) – Darling Violetta – Cocteau Twins – Lacuna Coil

Thank you!

Hello my usual 'look' is casual goth or casual black. Because it's been noted by others I look goth, I curiously researched goth on the internet & found out it's a music based subculture, so decided to delve further (even though I stopped listening to hard rock & pop music a long time ago because it all bored me to the point of irritation, so I just got rid of it) .Through Spotify YouTube & this Sub I have come across recommendations however that I like so much that I'm now listening to early recordings (first half of the 80's) of Sisters of Mercy every day. Can't get enough. Same with early Siouxsie & The Banshees but also more recent recordings by Ritual Howls (whose sound is very haunting).

However I feel disappointed when I click on links or look up recommendations that lead me to sounds of synth pop – for instance Black Marble; The Soft Moon, or sounds of what I consider 'new wave' – Asylum Party, and a lot of The Cure. There's even been metal or grunge type music listed – TypeO Negative, a lot of punk like The Birthday Party

Does synth pop, new wave, metal come into the goth scene in a big way, and if so what is the connection.

I hate all of that & don't get why those kinds of sounds are on goth playlists alongside music I do consider to sound gothic & enjoyable…early Sisters of Mercy, Altar deFey, 34 Vampires, Bauhaus' Bela Lagusi.

I'm just starting to get into the goth scene and I really want some music recommendations. I've already started by listening to some popular songs by The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Siouxie And The Banshees, and Joy Divison. Later I'm going to also listen to some songs by Killing Joke and The Birthday Party (I think those are goth bands or closely related genres since they showed up in a video I was watching about the evolution of goth music, but please correct me if I'm wrong.) I just wanted to know if any of you have more goth band or song recommendations since I'm already loving what I've listened to so far and I just want some recommendations from more experienced goths.

Sort of in the vein of the birthday party or early swans

Hello! I am a 17 year old just discovering the world of gothic music and would love some recommendations. I’m a massive Cocteau Twins (Blood bitch, serpentskirt, shallow then halo), Clan of Xymox (Louise, stumble and fall, masquerade) and Sad Lovers and Giants fan. Also just got 17 Seconds on CD and loving it and I’m seeing Sisters of Mercy in November (!!!) so obviously I also think they are cracking. What else do you guys think is worth checking out? I’m totally enamoured by the sound these people are/did produce and I’d love to be blown away some more

Hey guys. I’ve noticed I’ve been kind of mostly listening to the same goth bands for a while, & I’d like to branch out a bit.

The goth bands I listen to most are: Bloody dead & sexy, Bauhaus, virgin prunes, the wake, sex gang children, two witches, nosferatu, the shroud, screaming dead, switchblade symphony, 45 grave, 1919, 13th chime, ex-voto, the Danse society, plastique noir, merciful nuns, ghosting, gene loves jezebel, the March violets, she past away (edit: also corpus delicti)

My taste is kind of all over the place lmao so I’m not sure if that tells you anything. Buttt I’ve basically only been listening to these same bands for like the past year. So if y’all could give me some bands to listen to (and maybe specific songs ?) that y’all may think I’ll like, that would be wonderful
