>gothic band
>everyone immediately spergs about siouxsie or the cure, maybe even bauhaus
it's like no one who claims to be goth has ever heard of Sex Gang Children.
they don't have any songs on youtube since the lead singer had them taken down, no songs to stream. they were part of the bat cave scene when it first popped up
Colton Morris
Heh to be fair SGC don't really hold a candle to Cure, Bauhaus or Siouxsie, as far as quality/quantity ratio goes. Fantastic, underrated vand nonetheless.
Tyler Roberts
NONE of those are even remotely goth.
Samuel James
Do you even Bauhaus bro?
How can you sit there and say the Cure is more goth than Bauhaus? Or Christian Death?
Jose Wood
2 of those are somewhat goth
Adam Foster
I suggest you go search Sex Gang Children on youtube. There is a bunch :)
Kevin Thompson
Bauhaus was more of a singles band, their albums don't really hold up that well. Flat Field and Crackle are absolutely essential though.
Samuel Cook
No.
U2 was definitely in the playlist of many goths' but nothing past like Joshua Tree, and even then, it wasn't goth. But it was in the realm.
Coldplay is rock. Well, more pop than rock. Nothing even remotely close to goth about it. Its almost less goth than nickleback.
Radiohead, pop rock, period, nothing even remotely goth about it.
Juan Lopez
Fields of the Nephilim
Clan of Xymox
Paradise Lost
My Dying Bride
Ryder Sullivan
does anyone find goth extremely fucking cringey?
everything from the aesthetic to lyrics
who is it meant to appeal to? in b4 'goths'
Benjamin Morris
Depends if its REAL goth, or if its bullshit made for the Hot Topic wannabe goths that would have been cheerleaders and football players in any other decade.
Ayden Thomas
The Smashing Pumpkins
Austin Gray
I really cant tell the difference between goth music and emo music apart from that goths dress up 100% of the time and emos only sometimes
its both moody depressing shit, like jesus go take a walk
Hunter Hill
>Radiohead, pop rock, period, nothing even remotely goth about it
clearly you've listened to only a few early radiohead albums, post-punk influenced them pretty heavily
emo is one genre of music and gothic music is several genres
Jason Rodriguez
The absolute apex of Gothic Music
Evan Adams
>quality/quantity ratio
Explain pls.
They sold only one official album. Other labels wanted a name change but they refused. Not having a label just prevents any band from getting recognition. All the albums on their site is self recorded
I meant in terms of studio releases. Live vids are poorly recorded though
Carson Murphy
The Cure have a shit load of fantastic records. 17 Seconds, Faith, Pornography, Disintegration, Bloodflowers, all high quality works that stand on their own, and this is only their generally considered goth albums.
Same for Type O and Siouxsie. SGC albums, as a whole, don't really hold up to any of these, mainly due to being fairly inconsistent.
Gish, Adore and Machina are fairly goth-ish. They started as a post-punk/goth/shoegaze hybrid, no wonder.
Hunter Long
Best goth album ever
Kayden Carter
>Velvet Acid Christ
techno, not goth...
Skinny Puppy's more goth than these guys...
Gabriel Lewis
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
Burning from the Inside and the Sky's Gone Out are awesome...
Michael Perry
U2's first two albums, I can see.
Probably because of Martin Hannet (sp?) producing / engineering their sound so they got that "Joy Division" drum sound and all...
Not hating on them or liking them, just trying to be objective so far as the "goth" sound / material goes.
My favorites will always be the Fields of the Nephilim. Pure substance.
Josiah Ward
They're still regular post-punk though. Their riffs are all based in major scales and chords, they barely use chorus effects, Bonos delivery is pretty damn energetic and their subject matter and aesthetic doesn't have anything to do with goth's.
Julian Rivera
precisely...
Check out Hildegard von Bingen, Mussorgsky (Night on Bald Mountain), etc...
Hell, even Leonard Cohen was more goth that some of these bands being cited (Sex Gang Children? Velvet Acid Christ? Please...)
Luke Green
this one and "Ashes" are really great. I preferred Ashes because it varied more sonically and after Rozz left the band went to shit save for some choice tracks...
Eli Sanchez
>Clan of Xymox
They're really good, the darkwave side of goth is my favorite with the exception of a couple Bauhaus/SoM albums
James Adams
>inconsistent
Honestly, that's what makes them great, i think.
Hunter Bell
gene loves gezebel
Jack Russell
ok, I get you... I was just thinking atmospherically. I guess lyrically the only remotely goth stuff would be about war and being cold and wet.
Yeah, their music was fairly basic. At least Bauhaus used a fretless bass. And jazzed it up a bit with the keyboards, etc...
Lincoln Cruz

Isaiah Diaz

Isaac Stewart

Landon Hall

Jack Cruz
Don't get me wrong, I love U2. The Edge's playing and their rythm section is fantastic. They're just not related at all with the goth movement.
They're definitely /dark/ (also one of the best bands ever tbqh)
It is now.
Only listened to if I Die. Really like some moments, didn't dig the more theatrical/silly ones. What do u recc?
Kevin Harris

Brandon Anderson
Most modern stuff is campy as fuck and not in a good way.
The Soft Moon are an exception.

>VNV Nation
>Psyclon 9
Campy as fuck and just plain baaaad
Landon Morgan
If you dig Deathrock check out Raspberry Bulbs, one of the best bands in that style rn
Jose Howard
>cant tell the difference between goth music and emo music apart
Goth music often have that trademark snaring bassline that constantly rapes your ear while emo music is just the bastard child of post-hardcore. Of course, they both suck.
Thomas Peterson
I think Christian Death is still my #1 goth band.
Kommunity FK, Screams for Tina, 45 Grave... deathrock is where it's at.
Daniel Robinson
NIN is the magnum opus of Goth
Brayden Torres
Speaking of goth, what are some good darkwave bands? I just started listening to TRUST and Cold Cave and its so good, but I havent found much like it
Easton Ross
+1
Rema Rema/Mass are the shit, and The Wolfgang Press were bretty gud too
Easton Reyes
You have classics like Clan of Xymox or Dead can Dance, but for more contemporary acts I'd look at The Soft Moon or In Death it Ends.
Ian Jenkins
Dude, you are the 1st person who I've seen on here besides Spirasen or me who've mentioned The Wolfgang Press. Great band. Although only their first three albums were remotely gothic.
Shut That Door
youtu.be
Horribly underrated band.
John Sanders
Early/mid 90s goth metal is the shit.
Nathaniel Kelly
I really like Xeno & Oaklander
Sheen

Jace Bell
Joy Division?

Nolan Peterson
You're sleeping on some good music.
Henry Price
Nah they remained great up until Sonic Temple. Then they turned to garbage. Then they released their 94 self-titled, much more dissonant, almost with some experimental vibes going on, really underrated stuff. Their sludgy sounding 2011 album is also great. Idk about their last one.
Lincoln Morris
Xmal Deutschland
Joy Division
The Cure
Jack Thompson
same, and i normally love darkwave. thinking over, it's european darkwave i prefer, the american stuff is lacking something

was just about to say that
basically everything Rozz did
Caleb White
Whatever happened to /dark/?
I miss it.
Ayden Turner
>Sisters of Mercy
I love Sisters, but they only released one good album. Floodland was just decent, and Vision Thing was awful.
FAAA has one my favourite songs
youtube.com
I'm gonna say Bauhaus.
Jayden Davis
Nine inch nails
Jayden Sullivan
>goth and emo the same
Maybe when emo bands like American Football and Paramore rip of The Cure from the Faith and Disnintegration eras, but you clearly know nothing of either.
Sebastian Baker
*rip off
Joseph Powell
Jesus this board is crap. Always jerking off the same bands and some homo comes in talking shit in the worst way. I nominate The Bolshoi as the greatest.
David Richardson
They also have 2 great compilations
Samuel Flores
Don't forget Asylum Party
youtube.com
Adam Moore
Nah, I'll give you The Cure, but I could never hear them again and be fine.
Jonathan Hill
well... WHAT IS IT???
ARCADIA???
DURAN DURAN???
Joseph Long
I tried to like this one but just couldn't get into it.
I did, however, like the Scriptures and Ashes and Catastrophe Ballet. And a little bit of that one with the Wind Kissed Pictures and Amaterasu. After that, Valor sucked.
Grayson Taylor
They're Cold Wave.
Connor Moore
When the ever FUCK did Paramore and American Football ever ripped The Cure??????
Bentley Davis
Come on faggot, use you head. For American Football he composition tab of their eponymous album on wikipedia talks about how Kinsella listened to The Cure often in conjunction with Post-Punk and Indie bands, and you can notice heavy derivitation songs like "Never Meant" take from songs like, "The Drowning Man." That whole album is if some sad teenager hired The Cure to back up his heartfelt sorrows about adolescence.
