>My Dad Is Dead

Oh man, I listened to this guy religiously like 4-5 years ago. Some of the most miserable rock music ever recorded.

Any recommendations as far as modern deathrock/goth-punk goes? I like these.

I feel like kids these days aren't /dark/. Back when I was edgy and dressed in black, I listened to goth rock and industrial and such, but does that even exist anymore to young kids?

[Aiden Myers]

In little pockets here and there. Thing is pretty much everybody who was edgy and dressed in black last time it was really a thing forgot to pass the torch to younger kids as they got old. Underground scenes in the midwest are starting to become a thing again in the last three or four years though, so expect more of them soon. I give it til about 2020 when the high school kids with moms and big brothers in bands/scenes get old enough to go to bars.

It's just kind of a bummer. I've seen Front 242 and Skinny Puppy in the last couple years and I was pretty much the youngest person there and I'm in my mid-20's.

[Ethan Miller]

It'll get better as long as kids like you do your part to keep things going. Not like there's a goth MTV playing in every school cafeteria. Things are very word-of-mouth.

[Jackson Scott]

There were some cybergoff and neongoff, but no one /dark/. I'm in my mid-20s too.

[Mason Kelly]

Yeah. Surprisingly, there was a ton of young kids at the My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult show I went to last year.

>but does that even exist anymore to young kids?

There's been a major resurgence in interest when it comes to goth and industrial and shit during the past several years, both the classic bands and newer artists(see: Iceage, Cold Cave, Chelsea Wolfe, Puce Mary etc.). I'd say there's more "kids" into it now than ever before, it's just that with the dawn of the Internet there's also a lot of room for crossover and more expansive tastes, so now the people who would once only be listening to post-punk and industrial are also into black metal and techno and noise music and whatever.
I guess the "purity" of subcultural divides is gone, but the interest is still alive and well.
