Teen Gothic

Nothing comes close

what are your picks for the best goth luric of all time?

mine are definitely

“The passion of lovers is for death, said she” -The passion of lovers, bauhaus

“Paint my name in black and gold, my heart, my flame, my heart, my road” -Heartland, Sisters

“Give me money, give me sex, give me food and cigarettes!” -Baby turns blue, virgin prunes

“Digitize, burn my eyes, keep me from dying, oh keep me alive” -Digital ocean, lebanon hanover

I live in Tampa and used to frequent The Castle when I was younger, but I honestly haven’t been since 2019. It’s a huge club with two dance floors, an outside area, and another room that’s closed off and only open for special events.

Coffin Club was much smaller, but had the same vibe. I danced for a while, had a few drinks, and then (respectfully) watched other people dance and have a good time.

10/10 I want to go back!

this was october 2023 at whitby goth festival and I was walking around the pavilion before the mission were heading that night. As I was walking I saw the tour bus and right outside of it was wayne hussey himself, I had a lovely conversation with him about the gig he was doing that night and got a photo .He is actually the sweetest man ever

I’ll start out by saying I’m super grateful to even have a goth club in my area, but that being said, I feel like every time I go, they play the same handful of 80’s post punk songs over and over again. I love The Cure, I love Siouxsie, but for the love of god, there’s so much other good goth music out there! I’ve been really into exploring newer bands and I’m glad there are musicians out there trying to keep the scene alive. Why aren’t clubs supporting them more? Does everyone else in attendance also just want to hear the same thing every time? Am I the problem?

What has your experience been like if you’re a regular at any goth clubs?

The Sisters' "Lucretia My Reflection", for me. My actual favourite song of all time is Depeche Mode's "It's No Good".

Mine is The Pain That Noone Knows by The Fair Sex
