Teen Gothic

Hello, i love this band and the song by O children, the disco dancer death and im really curious about what is that instrument used in the very beggining and throughout the song, it sounds like a crystal or something. I want to start making music and id like to include that instrument, anyone know the name ?

Hi all, I am an old punk but I was around a lot of Goths around probably 1993 '94. From what I remember it was kind of the very beginning of a scene that got bigger later on in the '90s.

I'm writing a country album about my experiences and couple of the characters are goth kids. The setting is a small town, the type of place where weirdos who grew up in the surrounding rural counties would have congregated. Think college towns or tourist towns that ended up with like an LGBT community or other weirdos. I was personally in Asheville at the time but that was not at all like Asheville is today. At the time there were a very small number of weirdos/artsy types in small towns, as it was a lot harder to find subculture since there wasn't really an internet.

The folks I actually knew back in the mid '90s are no longer reachable.

Help me out with some memories: What did you do that was part of Goth subculture when you were being romantic, flirty, mysterious seductive with your significant other "back in the day"?

Was your significant other also part of the that scene? What would date night have looked like? What about if you lived together and had a date night at your place?

I dated one of these pagan goth folks for a while and we were part of a scene that was into the occult. Kinda remember a lot of tarot cards and candles and red wine but I wasn't very serious about the occult part which makes my memories kind of hazy about what my significant other was doing much of the time when we were hanging out.

We and lots of other weirdos used to go to an old cemetery, not that all surprisingly. There was some hanging out on rooftops downtown and a little bit of 'by the railroad tracks' stuff but I'm really looking for suggestions on what to make my characters do indoors on date night because it's relevant to a song. Right now I have a couple of different songs where people are messing around with tarot cards in the candle light but I can't reuse that same image for multiple songs

For me that would be «the Drowning Man» and «Short Term Effect».

I'll start, the live version of joy division covering sister ray.

Tell us something about it (i realized everyone asking for songs so im changing subject a bit)

I'm just tired of listening my favorite songs. There is a lot of song that can be our favorites if we find them. so please please let us know. Name a song please and ofc you can tell us something about that song or your feelings or a memory you had about it and etc.

are there any goth songs that are just in a way disturbing yet beautiful to you? i would really like to have some more dark, slow, and calmish music within my other stuff.

for example i think of Afterhours- Sisters of Mercy

any help would be appreciated :))

I've been vibing to this goth rock playlist on NTS radio & I particularly love the song that starts at 00:10:11 but it doesn't have a tracklist. I've tried Shazam & googling lyrics to no avail so I thought I'd ask the good people on his subreddit. Thanks :') https://www.nts.live/shows/the-nts-guide-to/episodes/tales-from-graveyard-vol3-25th-july-2022

like….not from hate to love or love to hate….both at the same time yk

I am organising the funeral of my ex husband who took his life. We are having quite a bit of life music (he used to be in a band) but I would like to have something more church like sounding that is goth or dark wave (best with orchestra or violins) but has not the morbid lyrics he liked. Something that doesn’t spook relatives or other people. I was thinking „love me to the end“ by deine lakeien. (Don’t know if that is goth considered by this sub? But he heard that and considered himself part of the subcultures) Any other ideas?
