Teen Gothic

I am super obsessed with this song by Siouxie And The Banshees everything from Siouxie Sioux’s voice to the instrumentals

I like plenty of new school bands and old school deathrock but there's a kind of unique fun energy to 45 Grave that I can't really seem to find anywhere else, I think Super Heroines are maybe the closest thing I can think of. Can anyone recommend anything with similar vibes?

I especially love and your heart will be also, it’s like if Pink Floyd had a goth phase and it’s so good

Bear with me as I'm a babybat. Around the late 1980's and early 1990's, movies such as the Lost Boys, the Craft, the Crow, Interview with a Vampire, etc. were sensationalizing the goth scene, and I think this really gave them a brief period of significant presence within popular culture. I think the Goths of the 90's were a really pivotal point for the scene's history.

Then around the early 2000's we started seeing this "goth" or "gothic" stock characters appearing in media, which more or less still exists in the 2020's, with each incarnation of this stock having lesser and lesser resemblance to its roots.

I cannot really remember a movie in recent time that's meant to resonate with our scene. There was that one movie (name I forgot) where a man becomes a popular Goth singer, and then moves to Europe because his father might have been a nazi or something, but I think that film was trying to more or less mock the subculture because the protagonist "sheds" their Goth-ness by the end.

it's almost always listed by people when listing goth rock subgenres, but i can't think of many classic bands in the genre, other than little nemo, coldreams, and lost desert (and maybe modern eon? idk). i can think of more modern coldwave bands than old school ones despite the subgenre seemingly being a cornerstone of goth rock. it's definiitely less obscure than say grey rock or grave wave, but still

feel free to leave coldwave recs for me, i feel like i need more to listen to

I'm a baby bat. Yesterday I went to see the movie Spiderverse 2 (amazing) and like four separate groups of children started at me with "cut my life in to peices" and one even asked me for a "wrist check". I know they're just kids, and people are going to be dicks no matter what I do but how should one respond to this?
