Teen Gothic

I never heard the word being used back in the latter end of 90s and 2000s in my limited circles, both online and in real life, but I've stumbled upon a few old threads somewhere where this was mentioned as being used to exclusively refer to goth rock/second wave bands at some point. Can anyone provide further insight maybe with references if possible? I'm just merely curious about the use of the term from a historical stand point and if it was used back in the day (especially 80s) among certain people and how common was it?

I'm well aware of another modern term that seems like an internet label describing a wide array of dark bands unrelated or partially including goth and that's not what I'm referring to.

Hi! I'm looking for a song in this video, it starts at 7.40. I have searched for the lyrics but couldnt find anything, unfortunately the quality isnt the best either. Would be nice if somebody could help me 😊

I was just visiting a book store the other day and noticed a lot of mediocre books on goth that still spread misinformation even though there good books that people can still buy. What are books you consider good ones and ones that's spread misinformation? This also helps newcomers avoid books and at least provides of collective sense of better stuff out there.

Conflating architecture, gothic, all things dark as goth or goth alone, a poor analysis of the music history and claims of the subculture predating the music along with conflating dark genres as extensions of goth and a strong overemphasis of the fashion and lifestyle are a few traits of misinformation books.

Good goth books imo (some are out of print):

Gothic Rock Black Book

Hex Files

Goth chic

21st Century Goth

Goth: Undead Subculture

​

Misinformation books imo (some of these are still in stores or in stock online):

Goth bible

What is goth? by Voltaire

Gothic Charm School
