Teen Gothic

Yes I know they aren’t actual/proper/true goth and more like goth metal but whatever. Looking for either more specifically like that or “actual” goth with similar sound. Specifically the super dark and heavy bass and the super deep almost droning male lead vocals. And the low key auto tune shit TO- does with the vocals in some songs

I’m not really a goth or at least I don’t think of myself as one but I will say this stuff is my jam once November swings around. It’s so fitting for when all the green turns to brown and it gets dark earlier. And smoking a cigarette to this music in the depths of winter on a full moon? The world lit up by the moonlight off snow as the world is like frozen in glass? Chills

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.

Tonight we dive into the dark underworld of Gothic Rock! Rising from the ashes of late 70s punk, Goth Rock mixed the batwing style of Bram Stoker's Dracula with bizarre sentiments, black humor and a big beat. This classic episode (part of the Night Flight Series 'Twenty Years of Rock N' Roll Style') is a tour de force of goth bands and their myriad solo offshoots. Fittingly kicking off with Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead," this episode also features music from Peter Murphy, Love and Rockets, The Damned, Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim and more. Hope all you post-punk ghouls enjoy!
