its a funky subgenre of gothic/dark wave music that’s like if elvira had a baby with a beach boy. recommended bands are 45 grave, vampire beach babes, twin temple and the coffinshakers.

This might be my current fav subgenre! I think you might like My Girlfriend is a Witch by October Country, Vampire by The Orion Experience, and a band called Scary Bitches 🖤 Happy Spooking!

i love goth rock, I love grunge, i love alt metal

there is something about songs belonging to these genres and adjacent that make me feel like a tormented beautiful woman (which I am), but in a way that is artistically sexy

KEXP.org is hosting "World goth day" throughout all its programming today

The station and its music directors have a pretty broad interpretation of "goth." For sure, artists like the Cure, Skinny Puppy, Southern Death Cult (aka "The Cult" as they would eventually be called). Bauhaus, as linked here. Kinda like Halloween programming. But also songs of death and murder from artists like Leadbelly, Carter Family and Charley Patton ("Oh Death"). Enjoy. :)

accepting goth into your heart

The only definitive feature of being goth is liking goth music and the only definitive feature of goth music is being music goths like. I went to a goth wedding this past Halloween and they hit us with a tasteful and crowd pleasing range including the Cramps, the Cure, Depeche Mode, and the Monster Mash. Maybe the only other relevant component of being goth is arguing about what music is and isn’t goth. It’s built-in conversation to engage new friends at the gay bar‘s goth night you bravely attend alone. A couple years into your goth conversion and your clothes have an effortless harmony (they all match), you stand a couple inches taller (big shoes), and you know the delirious joy of a dark smoke filled room packed with people singing and dancing and kissing and doing erotic aerial hoop performances to Boys Don’t Cry at 2 in the morning.
