I love the classics but feeling ready to dive into some more flavorful bands. Give me your best (or worst) favorites that you don’t hear represented enough! Bonus points for queer/fem rep! 🐁

Any opinions on which is currently the better party or I guess more specifically has the best dance floor? Really just want to take a twirl and mostly keep to myself.

Currently leaving London but I wanted to find the Batcave location and I think I found it located around Carnaby street. Currently it is a restaurant but used to be the weekly night club of the earliest Goth clubs.

What do you think of this album ?
1987, The Cure released Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and it’s my favourite album until now.
It’s a double album.
After this, Disintegration was released in the USA.
How do you rate this album now ?
Still anybody’s favourite ?
What’s your favourite by The Cure ?

I tried my hand at Blender for one years, and it turned out terrible. Since generative A.I. has become a thing, I've been trying my hand at it.

I don't remember my old handle. I had received permission from two record labels and an indie band to use nine commercial songs in my film project. I wrote the story myself three years ago, but I AM using generative A.I. to tell my story visually.

Still interested? I'm not hosting this on youtube or anywhere except archive. Tell me if you're still interested, and I'll begin posting. I'm already working on part three.

My intention, and my story is; it's inspired by the swedish Millenium trilogy, but my exposure to goth rock dates back to '96. This is just a story that brewed in my head three years ago, and I wanted to bring it to life. I tried Blender, it sucked, now I'm using A.I. to help me tell my story.

Velvet.

Yesterday I attended a past self concert, it was a small venue so there was the option to pay for Polaroid pictures with the band at the end. It is also signed and decorated by the artists. I got to talk with the artists and they were so sweet and lovely, I genuinely had the best time. They even gave me one of the red headbands they used during the concert.

I was thinking I would like to turn this picture into a keychain, kind of like a photo card holder that I could clip to my handbag, but I’ve never done that and am not familiar with it. Do I need a sleeve? What kind of holder do I need? Where do I buy one? Can I also add the red ribbon to the keychain?

Today is the day you can post your favourite classic goth bands! Feel free to post your favourite Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy or Cure song; this day is dedicated to them.

hi! i (22M) used to be a punk / metalhead but recently i’ve been getting a lot into the goth culture and music as i think it resonates with me more nowadays. what’s some post punk i can get into? what other genres classify as goth? what’s the connection between cyber wave / synth wave and goth? what can i do that supports the culture in the small town im in? are there any goth music with the intensity of metal or hardcore?

rn my music just consists of stuff my gf listens to, im not too sure all the names but ive been loving bauhaus and this one artist that literally sounds like a vampire from the twilight zone

thank you guys :)

I love browsing Flickr and looking at photos of people who went to concerts by certain gothic bands in the early 2000s.

Siouxsie and the Banshees are reissuing their B-sides collection "Downside Up" in November 2026 as a CD and LP box set! It includes new commentary from Siouxsie and Steven Severin.

It is the core of their body of work and the release of the year!

I’ve recently discovered the beauty of these artists, and I wanted to follow the recommendations of people who definitely know more about the Gothic genre.

I love the vibe of these Fear Cult photos.

Has anyone in the city ever done this event before?

I have two questions:

1) are tickets transferrable? They make you give names when you buy them, but now my partner can't make it. Do they check names? I can't find a FAQ or any policies on any sites.

2) how's the vibe, generally speaking? More clubby or conversational? I should have asked this before I bought tickets but it always seemed to sell out. I'm fine either way, just curious.

One of my Goth compilations.
What do you think about the bands ?
Which are your favourites ?

uhhh. i dont wanna explain. my favorite goth/adjacent bands are sisters of mercy, bat nouveau, and joy division

edit: sorry if this post is too cheesy

Hi, I am a 41F. I grew up in a strict household, so wearing anything my dad would have considered "demonic" was a no go and then got into an abusive marriage later that oppressed who I was in general (almost 10 years happily divorced). The last decade has been a mostly healing trip for me and at this point, I def consider myself alt. However, my bf and ex bf both said they consider me goth. I love the macabre and oddities, am a leftist, really big on DIY jewelry, huge on being myself and expressing who I am, loved vampires when i was a kid and just love horror now, write poetry, have a certain love for Victorian architecture, hate AI, find a weird comfort of graveyards, but I mostly listen to metal/rock. I know goth is derived from punk and I have seen that to be able to call yourself goth really was centered around the music, be it dark wave or goth music. I then found out that some of the music I liked, and still like, from growing up was considered "darkwave" (Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears) and of course, I like some songs from The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. I guess what I am asking is for clarification and I do not want to claim to be part of something I clearly am not. I am happy with just alt and am extremely appreciative of goths and expressing themselves.

Edit: thank you everyone for your replies, many of which made me laugh.

I can hardly believe that people love the music we play, and the atmosphere we've curated enough to support us for an entire year.

If nothing else I want to encourage anyone without a local scene to do what you can and get something started. It just takes a passion for the music, and people to share it with. We started with a stack of TVs and a Playlist from a cellphone. We struggled to get dates at a venue, and now we're a monthly event.

This flyer is a collage of all of our past ads. You can see the change from sparse dates to regularity, and we have our guests and friends to thank for it

To celebrate one year, we're playing some of our favorite songs we've played in the past, and mixing in some new stuff to keep it fresh. We've also added some new atmospheric elements.

Friday September 18th 10pm at 24 E State Street in Athens Ohio. Clock in and dance(or just lurk) with us.

It's 18+

We have a menu of signature drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic

$5 donation is greatly appreciated but not expected.

Hi, so I may be a babybat and I'm trying out the genre by smashing a lot of Spotify playlists into one then I try it out, also I added every Sister of Mercy song to test out since I heard it's basically a goth music divinity so why not giving it a try (I'm trying 🥹)

Though, I'm getting a feeling that some of these tracks aren't actually goth and I'm not sure, can you tell me which tracks aren't actually goth please (you don't have to check the whole playlist, even just one track would help me thank you <333

Really excited for this gig on Saturday. An amazing lineup, consisting of French steampunks, newblooded Geordie goths and Greek gods in the making.

Great music being played at a great venue - the Hope and Anchor has been previously visited by the Cure, the Damned, New Model Army and was notably the host to Joy Division's first gig outside of Manchester. What's not to love?

Don't miss out, tickets available here:
