Teen Gothic

The 90’s is where Goth and fashion died in malls and started to stray from its roots resulting popularity from non goth icons like MM.

Since this was pre-internet. Bands struggled to get recognition unless they were signed to bigger labels like Cleopatra Records.

None the less it is one of the most vital decades full of really awesome bands that sometimes go overlooked. (Not necessarily the bands I’m about to pick, but you get what I mean)

My question is what are your top 3 Goth bands from the 90’s?

For me it’s: 1. Corpus Delicti 2. London After Midnight 3. Rosetta Stone

Those bands for me have a catalogue of great songs!

this song is one of my favorites by bauhaus. the lyrics are very unique and i know peter likes to write poetic and meaningful songs. anybody know what this song is about?

lyrics: Oh classic gentlemen Say your prayers To the wind, of prostitution To your faces, and Rex complexes Riddle my breast Full of the oppressed puss

Oh gentlemen, with your fish The you surround, all around And you man, will always point Your fishes, at me

But I will always exist Because I always exist Damn good too

The rat race begins The fat face stings I hold the fresh pink baby With a smile I slice off those rosy cheeks Because I feel so thirsty

And Oedipus Rex complexes Riddle my closed bloated breast

So, beloved 90s Darkwave band Switchblade Symphony has two versions of their third album, The Three Calamities, for sale on their bandcamp. One of them has "(2022 Remaster)" after all of the tracks. I've tried to listen to both and figure out the difference, but I'm just sort of sitting here going, "Is this one maybe brighter? Or something??" Are my speakers just not good enough? What do you think?

Clan of Xymox was great, small crowd. Intimate venue.

The Cure was phenomenal. I feel privileged to have seen them, Robert’s voice still sounds pristine. Easy Top 5 concerts I’ve been to.

I feel like Sisters of Mercy had some of the best sound quality for Denver compared to a lot of other shows on this tour. They didn’t sound amazing, but they weren’t terrible either. Felt like a right of passage.

All in all, what a week. Thanks to the community and everyone I met who made the shows even more fun!
