Maybe don't write a character that listens to music that you know nothing about. It's going to come off as super try hard and phoney.
Cameron Morris
if you mean Goth:
The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Xmal Deutschland, Clan of Xymox
if you mean "edgy thot with a septum piercing"
Aaron Wright
that's the point I'm trying to learn more. I need your big brains here
Matthew Martin
Killing joke, Bauhaus, christian death, sisters of mercy, alien sex fiend, joy division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the cure
Dominic Peterson
Bauhaus, The Cure, Joy Division, Clan of Xymox, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Pale Waves, Skinny Puppy, Christian Death, Throbbing Gristle
Daniel Evans
then
Gabriel Cooper
is this song goth
Jaxon Garcia
The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Xmal Deutschland, Clan of Xymox, Killing joke, Bauhaus, christian death, sisters of mercy, alien sex fiend, joy division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the cure, Bauhaus, The Cure, Joy Division, Clan of Xymox, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Pale Waves, Skinny Puppy, Christian Death, Throbbing Gristle, Lil Peep

You got some good replies in this thread that should help you. But when writing a character don't make the music they listen to their defining characteristic. Don't just write a goth character that wears black and listens to Sisters of Mercy, make them an actual character - that stuff is surface level and supplementary.
Eli Wilson
no, it entirely lacks post-punk sensibilities, but it sounds like a goth could appreciate it

Why would you think to put a "goth" character in your dumbass YA fiction tier screenplay if you don't even know anything about that music or group of people.
Is it really as shallow as "goth chicks are hot lol"?
Honestly "goths" don't even really exist.
Most of the people who dress like that don't listen to any of the stuff posted in this thread. Many of the musicians posted itt would reject the goth label. It's a stupid term that somehow links multiple groups of people who have almost nothing in common.
Also, maybe try drawing from personal experience and things you actually know about so your characters won't seem completely empty.
William Lopez
>Pale Waves
Subtle bait. Nice.
Juan Morris
>Also, maybe try drawing from personal experience and things you actually know about so your characters won't seem completely empty.
This obviously, if you want to write some faggot characters, just lurk some more on the less savory boards on this website, should get some better inspiration than some list of "goth bands".
Xavier Wilson
This. There's a goth festival near me but most of the people there don't like the sort of music posted in this thread, the just like wearing black wedding dresses and white facepaint and shit like that.
99% of "goths" are actually just clowns. Whereas people who like goth music are usually just regular people.
Aaron Jenkins
It's called growing as an artist user, you challenge yourself and then research.
Cooper Hernandez
Except OP isn't doing any of that, how is some generic teen drama featuring a "goth character" challenging him as a screenwriter?
That's giving him the benefit of the doubt that he is an actual professional and not some 14 year old writing this shit during class btw
Jace Johnson
Which is the exact opposite of what he is doing in the OP.
Robert Ross
Goth did used to be about music. But in 2018 its just a costume capitalism can sell you
Lucas Rodriguez
At the time none of the original goth artists considered themselves goth and most hated the label, goth was always a fashion, it was kids taking the fashion of bands who didn't want to be associated with the label of goth

well my gf is a huge goth I guess ( she doesn't dress like it, shes more like those weirdo mori mori girls ) but I know her favorite bands are death in june, chris and coesy, type o negative, SPK, and coil. She is definitely /dark/ so take that as what you will.

so this is what industrial culture has been reduced to?

Bentley Ross
really a mixed bag, but their selections usually showcase quite well how darkwave and post-punk eventually evolved into electro-industrial, futurepop and aggrotech.
David Rodriguez
Blame Front 242, they spearheaded EBM's transition into house music
Ryan Thomas
> you have to dress goth and exclusively listen to " goth " music to be /dark/
I fucking hate this underage board
Jacob Morales
that and autistic pants-shitters like Lingua Ignota and picrel
Jose James
You should only ever write Mary Sues, OP.
Caleb Edwards
not exclusively to goth music, but I would say that, yes, dressing goth and listening to a bunch of goth rock / darkwave are the basic requirements for being goth.
How is that unreasonable?
The only goth band your girlfriend listen to (from what you've written) is Type O Negative. By that fucking standard I'm twice more goth than she is despite never having worn jewelry or seen The Cure live.
Leo Reed
funny you say that because the book im reading now says that too. Although I do love me some EBM...
Brody Gutierrez
>Lingua Ignota
but that's good music
Joseph Watson
haven't read it, just listened to their music. Their late 80s output sounds a lot like early house music
Ayden Taylor
It's what the damned wanted to do instead of punk
Hudson Martin
So is a lot of electro-industrial. Doesn't make the whole cybergoth thing any less tacky.
Jace Mitchell
exactly
Cooper Clark
>listens to Puce Mary once
David Jones
The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Vanishing. I don't know much goth rock, but ma lot of it comes from the darker side of post-punk and new wave.
Henry Clark
at least they don't have plastic dreadlocks and soldering goggles
god, and to think I used to wear those
Noah Brown
goggles are pretty neat, but yeah fake dreads are retarded
Cooper Adams
how fucking wrong can you be
goth is the most hipster revival heavy genre of all time
it even actually made a new genre of something that somewhat interesting with witchhouse, which has been kind of the few genuine new genres made post 2000
>drum machines make shitty music and are hard to use
I always thought this guy was fired from pitchfork for being too much of a malcontent but he's just full of BS

wow you’re being really autistic about this and you don’t even know what he’s going to do with the character
Charles Roberts
he's right, though
you shouldn't build characters based on esthetic considerations, that just makes for shallow characters
then again, we know next to nothing of this character or how OP is going to treat them
Dominic Stewart
>Pale Waves
You sly dog
David Collins
shallow characters are tolerable if they're really really cool
besides, a visual design can absolutely serve as the starting point to come up with a character background. Like, you come up with something that looks cool, and then you write a story that explains how that character ended up looking cool.
it's risky but it's viable
Bentley Cox
Kero Kero Bonito
Brayden Mitchell
I somewhat agree with you, but in OP's case, it's going to be a written format and it's incredibly hard to make a character look super cool without visual support
and since OP isn't even capable of doing his own research on goth music, I'm not entirely sure he's the brightest bulb in the pack, so better play it safe
Elijah Green
So Sup Forums have you ascended to the thunder perfect mind?
Brayden Ramirez
her name is moniicow btw
Christian Wilson
oh wait I'm retarded, it's a screenplay
regardless, it also depends heavily on the role of the character and how important they are to the plot

Not the guy youre responding to, but theres only so much Arditit/Triarii I cant take during the day until I need to hear something else. I mean the tone and ambience is great, but have you listened to two records in a row??
Neo Folk is at least diverse enough to listen to for a long period of time.
Noah Bennett
>newfag this oblivious
Adrian Fisher
yes, as a matter of fact I have for days on end.
Martial Industrial doesn't begin and end with trailer music. Do you even Von Thronstahl?
Andrew Gonzalez
There are some questions that need to be asked before making an informed response.
First of all what do you mean with goth? Like original '80 post-punk goth? Or more like '00 corset-core gothic metal? In not really about the music tho, is about the subculture and the coherence with the character's personality traits. What's her age, what year is it? Is she into some magickal/wiccan/witchy stuff? Is she depressed? Is she nihilistic? Is she in it for the scene or she is a loner who find relief in music? If you provide more information about background and traits we could suggest a perfect musical match.

If you mean actual Goth music then disregard anyone who posts Post-Industrial or Goth Metal.
Hunter Campbell

Modern Goth is Drab Majesty, The KVB, PAWNS, Lebanon Hanover, Soror Dolorosa (the 2017 release was so cash), The Wraith, and The Soft Moon.
