It's hard differentiate what is goth and what isn't. The Cure for example does not label themselves goth even though they have put out albums like Pornography. A lot of bands are considered goth when they're not.
I prefer coldwave with goth bass lines.

>I prefer coldwave with goth bass lines.
gonna need some examples family
Killing Joke are a great one
Bauhaus' debut is pretty essential
Check out David Bowie's Diamond Dogs if you haven't; that album was incredibly inspirational on gothdom

>>60883637
Christian Death - Catastrophe Ballet (I personally like it better than OTOP)
Sisters of Mercy - First and Last And Always
Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim
Clan of Xymox - Medusa
Death Rock:
Lords of the New Church - The Method to Our Madness
45 Grave - Sleep in Safety
Alien Sex Fiend - Acid Bath
The Cramps - What's Inside a Girl
(technically Psychobilly)
>>60883845
>Clan of Xymox
Can we talk about how underrated they are? I don't think I've ever seen them mentioned on /mu/ which is a shame.
>>60883913
Great stuff. Very underrated. Twist of Shadows is really great too.

People latch onto the "post-punk" label here because it probably gives less stigma than the "goth" label because "goths are fags". Though post-punk also is a broad genre.
>>60883667
Here's the final version of that chart. Wish it got reposted more or uploaded on the wiki.
I would recommend the Death Disco compilations too.
>>60884024
>>60883667
You were talking about this one?
my favorite goth bands are HIM, marilyn manson, the birthday massacre, coal chamber and evanescence
>>60884024
Are you saying that all Post Punk is goth?
Also forgot The Wolfgang Press; their 1st two albums - The Burden of Mules & Standing Up Straight.
>>60884024
>>60883786
I get really upset when people call Killing Joke Goth
>>60883699
came here to post this
it's one of the best post-punk/proto noise roick albums of all-time
>>60884124
Quality posting. Thanks for the input.
>>60884124
Some good bands here but Marilyn Manson and HIM are the only real goth bands you posted.
>>60883706
good modern pick. Love The Soft Moon
The Cure - Faith
honestly their best album
>>60884133
>Are you saying that all Post Punk is goth?
Not really, but it would be nice to see the gothic side of post-punk being posted in the post-punk threads instead of the barrage of newcomers posting the same shit previous newcomers circlejerk about.
>I get really upset when people call Killing Joke Goth
Yea well tough shit Andrew Eldritch of Sisters of Mercy claims that they aren't a goth band but they are. Many bands and most people don't like the label they're given.
>>60883913
Underrated as in everytime I run into them it always turns out to be garbage?
>>60884196
Yup. All modern Goth bands are abysmal shit like Blutengel, Bloody, Dead & Sexy or cybergoth crap like Psyclon 9.
The Soft Moon were a definite breath of fresh air that was much needed in the genre.
>>60884388
They're is some decent stuff there if you look hard enough. Check out Double Echo and She Past Away. Really great modern stuff
>the soft moon
>goth
jesus fucking christ /mu/
>>60884443
It may not be "sticking crosses up my puss goth" but the darkwave influences are strong and the general style of his music IS goth.
>>60884458
>sticking crosses up my puss goth
what bands qualify for this?
I'm asking for a friend
>>60884458
Sure thing bud. You probably think Siouxsie is goth too.
Fields of the nephilim's first 3 albums
those goth cowboy faggots made some good music

>>60884498
K gothboy how is not goth.
>>60884496
Blutengel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1G-9WUgptY
Abaddon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q2jBCn5udM
>>60884498
Not him. Siouxsie is Post Punk/Gothic Rock.
>>60884577
Oh yea, now I forgot why people latch onto the post-punk label when describing they're favorite gothic music.
>>60884598
Sure thing kid
>>60884613

>>60883637
i love ministry-with sympathy

>>60884577
Thick goth edge
>>60884523
pretty good
>>60884649
only good ministry album
>>60884633
u suck
>>60884633
Now go ahead and tell me that Wikipedia is not a viable source. That should complete the trifecta of your retardation.
>>60884678
Ahhhh Twitch is badass.
>>60884678
true dat! although i did enjoy Al's cover albums especially under my thumb and black betty and supernaut
>>60884678
>Pslam 69
>not a pinnacle of industrial metal
>>60884850
Industrial metal is just boring & edgy to me.
>>60884633
anon is confirmed retard with dubs
>>60884809
Did you just use Wikipedia as a viable source? Wikipedia claims HIM is gothic rock... Holy fucking shit /mu/ really is full of children.
Siouxsie and the banshees are not a goth band and if you think they are you're probably 15 and just discovered post-punk.
You guys seriously don't like Twitch?

>>60884926
Only reason you say it's not is because of popularity.
>>60884926
How isnt HIM Gothic rock?
>>60884926
Didn't say they were Goth sweetcakes. I said they were Post Punk/Gothic Rock. Please try to keep up.
>>60884926
>Soft moon isn't goth
>Siouxsie isn't goth
Give some reasons why they're not. Cause if you can't then you're just shitposting and not bringing anything to the discussion.
>>60885010
Because they're not. Wikipedia also says The Birthday Massacre is gothic rock. Explain to me how they're goth rock and why I should believe what bands are labeled on Wikipedia.
>>60884996
>>60885017
>>60885020
sure thing kid
>>60884926
>Siouxsie and the banshees are not a goth band and if you think they are you're probably 15 and just discovered post-punk.
You sound like someone that is 15 and discovered post-punk. There are overlaps within genres.
This is bait.
>>60885046
"because they're not"
Ok i'm sure you don't know what you're talking about
>>60885064
Explain to me why I should believe anything on Wikipedia when it can be edited by anyone and their mother. Explain to me how HIM and The Birthday Massacre are gothic rock. Oh, you can't? As expected.
>>60885095
Hahaha ya b8
>>60885055
1 out of 5 goth threads this twat shows up and always says the same thing. Some ancient fat gothapottamus who writes poetry on Sideline I would imagine. Some Siouxsie & The Banshees albums are undoubtedly Gothic Rock ie; Juju, Hyaena, and Tinderbox. And like someone said their are overlaps in genres.
Never have figured out what this persons issue is.
>>60884926
If siouxsie aren't goth then what is?
>>60885131
>knows i'm right and resorts to memes
As usual I'm right. Next time don't use Wikipedia as a source. With that said I'm going to finish eating this mac and cheese and go to bed.
>>60885137
He's a disease
>>60885147
Punk rock
>>60885147
punk rock/ postpunk/ darkwave
>>60885223
Sounds like watered down corporate marketable goth to me :^)
>>60885137
>Some ancient fat gothapottamus who writes poetry on Sideline I would imagine
How about you faggots have one Goth thread where you don't discuss whether The Cure and The Banshees are goth or not for once? This great genre is baarely discussed here and you fuckers always mess it up.
That being said, any essential 10's goth releases I should be aware of?
>>60885314
It's one guy baiting everybody you imbecile.
Do your research
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwv0rVUc9ps
average siouxsie & the banshees fan
>>60885314
idk about contemporary music,
but,
wouldnt the damned have the same consideration?
very first wave punk albums, and then later much more goth album such as phantasmagoria. the same could be said of TSOL
i also think rudimentary peni is gothic
>>60885343
I know who it is, ots that old guy that ssays hes a og goth and that he is the voice of reason. But it is your damn fault if you reply to him you dumbfuck.
>>60885382
why do these charts always suck so much
also, are their any bands who don't hate being called goth?
>>60885384
Then you probably don't need your essentials.
I didn't reply, just thought yout post was equally retarded.
>>60885343
>Do your research
lets see your research then
>>60884133
>I get really upset when people call Killing Joke Goth
maybe not on that album, but they have totally always had a goth edge to them. ie, the album tracks from Nighttime
>>60885421
i found it on google, an yeah they are trash.
not unless they are in high school,
or are referring to germanic peoples or medieval art
>>60885788
look on bandcamp doe
>>60886139
eldritch is a cunt but i love this album
>>60886139
how could he say that they were not goth? It's just so obvious
>>60886590
because he's a big cry baby
is this a goth thread or what
My favorite of the 90's goth bands.
Bump because I want to read the
thread
