Teen Gothic

I recently stumbled across Dollwave and liked the vibe before quickly realising it was likely AI. Do you have any band recs with similar vibes but that are actually human artists?

Need more goth bands like The Cure!

Hi !! My favourite band of all time is The Cure and i’m wondering if theres any other bands similar to them! I listen to other gothic bands but i feel they don’t hit the same way. Please let me know !!! Also if you know any more underground goth artists I’d love to check them out <3

(I clicked whatever tag but idc about when it came out)

What’s up everyone I’m somewhat new to the goth community. I need more bands to listen to like

Sanguis et cinis: preferably like their album Wie der unberurte Traum Jungfrau even though I can’t really understand what they’re saying.

Elysium: not the metal band. look up Soledad by them and you’ll see what I’m talking about

Lycia: specifically their album Ionia. I like it because of how processed and dark it sounds and maybe I might find another band like this album.

I was so nervous writing this

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 tend to look for songs with either powerful vocals or powerful instrumentals. An immediate turn off for me is when the vocals are completely overshadowed by the instrumentals.

I know a lot of the music I will place here to show what I mean will likely not be goth, since I'm still learning about the Goth scene. But all suggestions are good suggestions imo. Also if any of them are Goth inform me. I want to make a goth playlist on my Spotify and knowing is half the battle. Plus I want to be able to learn to have a better ear to tell what genres are what.

Ice Queen – Within Temptation

Jazmine Bean – Piggie

Jack Off Jill – Vivica

Neoni (Ft. Savage Ga$ p) – Knives

Darling Violetta – A Smaller God

Pierce the Veil – Disasterology

Paramore – Ignorance

My Chemical Romance – I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

Chase Petra – Monet Issues

Tony22 – Earth Boy

Halsey – Control

AViVA – The Saint and The Sinner

Hi all, I’m trying to go to more live shows and events in the next year. What are good suggestions for North America?

If there’s a better place to ask this, please let me know.

I’ve been really into cocteau twins, the cure (specifically disintegration), and labonen hanover the past month. I like the way Etherealwave sounds, but I want to discover more bands outside of that!! It would be nice if someone could link me up with a playlist. Also, where do you guys purchase your jewelry and clothes from? I can’t seem to find a place with affordable necklaces and decor 🙁 I’ve tried thrifting many times but haven’t found lots of goods, and I’m not good at DIY. I don’t even know how to sew or anything like that! I would like to dress up more, but it’s hard with said circumstances 😢 Thank you!
