How do you define goth music?

so goth was an offshoot of 70s/80s punk so it was influenced by the punk style of music

like bauhaus, the cure, etc
also siouxie and the banshees

Hii Cherry! :blush:

I’m Alicia, also sort of Goth. I wouldn’t really say I’m new as I’ve sort of been a part of the Goth community for a few years, maybe a good portion of my older teen and adult life. But honestly, I am new as I don’t really know where I belong within the subculture and still learning what types of Goth music I’m into.

I’m a dark soul by nature, and my favorite color is blackβ€”always been this way. I’ve loved Gothic clothing (specifically Victorian style, but I do love other types) and watch It’s Black Friday religiously. I do watch Aurelio Voltaire on occasion, but I mostly love his Gothic Homemaking stuff. Spooky season is my favorite, and spooky decor everything. I have an odd love for cemeteries, too.

The only thing I have trouble with is Goth music. There are some songs I love from specific Goth artists, but it’s not entirely my cup of tea. I’m still in search of music, of course. But a lot of songs just don’t hit it for me, you know? The closest I can get is rock and some alternative music, but that usually comes from my punk/emo side.

Because of this small hiccup, I can’t say I’m full Goth. I usually just think of myself as part Goth, mostly because I’m interested in other things since I like a variety.

I gave up on Goth music, I’m more interested in metal these days. There is SOME overlap, but not a lot.

Yeah, I’ve heard that many listen to metal. I’m also not a big fan. :sweat_smile: I think it’s the screaming and harsh voice that you can barely hear what they’re saying that gets me. Love the instrumental, but lyrics and vocals… not so much. :grimacing:

I thought Mall Goth metal would be more Marilyn Manson and less King Diamond.

There are a lot of horror-themed metal bands that would fit in with other subtypes.

I love Corpse Bride!

My other favorite which a good family movie is Hotel Transylvania, though I mostly go for the first two. The third movie is meh and that last one sucked. But the first two are awesome!

It reminds me of how many sequels Ice Age got for no apparent reason

I technically fall into line with gothcore most of the time and sometimes southern goth but I’ll wear anything if I like it. So, basically I have an eclectic taste but gravitate towards goth.

I guess the easiest way to describe it is by saying that my dream home would be nearly completely gothic minus a few rooms that would have a different aesthetic at the forefront but would still have gothic things in the rooms.

Although, I will say the only reason I fit more in line with gothcore is because the Victorian and romantic goth fashion isn’t the easiest to find for cheap.
