I want to get more into this subculture. Everything I learn about it/know seems interesting. I know it’s primarily music based though so can people give me some artist/song recs? Much appreciated x

It’s actually not primarily music based, it’s fashion, music, political ideology, and outlook on life. “Everything’s fucked but let’s find the beauty it anyway.” Vs emo “everything’s fucked and there’s nothing we can do about it” Or punk “everything’s fucked, let’s fuck it up in a different way (hopefully better)”

It is primarily music based. That’s where the whole subculture came from. But you’re absolutely right about the ideology stuff. I think it’s a combination of both, a lot of the goth bands will make music ABOUT that outlook on life.

I love Souxsie and the Banshees (Dear Prudence, Halloween, and Cities in Dust) Scary Bitches (Lesbian Vampires from Outer Space, You’ll End Up Looking Like the Scary Bitches, and Hey Mr. Vampire) and Inkubus Sukkubus (Vampyres, Wytches, and Pagan Born)
