What are the best modern goth bands?
>>61224649
There are no modern goth bands. Closest thing to the goth sound is coldwave and post punk revival.
>>61224667
Alright, gimme some of that.

Chelsea Wolfe
Have a Nice Life
Esben and the Witch
Marriages
Kayo Dot (most recent album)
Savages (kinda)
Algiers (kinda)
That's pretty much it. A few of them are just post-punk bands with a dark and/or ethereal sound, but it's basically the same thing.
>>61224830
Wasn't that always what Goth was?
>>61224735
vocalist is the hottest guy in music right now
Cemetery
Grave Babies but their new album is p ass
Vår
Captive
my friends/favorite local band just released a really good EP if you'd be interested in that

Grave Babies is the only modern goth band
>>61224871
Goth has a very specific sound. Just listen to The Sisters of Mercy or early Bauhaus.
The Cure - Pornography is goth, Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me is not.
>>61224896

I am sick of this meme where people think all goth sounds like either Bauhaus of Joy Division, there is more diversity to the sound than that and bands imitating these two bands become tiresome.
A better of example of goth is The Birthday Party and TGA era Swans.

See: Sex Gang Children, Killing Joke, The Mission, Play Dead, The Nuns. They sound exactly like those bands. Iceage is fucking selling locks of their hair at shows. You don't know shit.
>>61225227
I'm actually 100% right, none of those bands are goth and I take great pleasure knowing you are oblivious when it comes to genre labels.

>>61225378
I can't even have a conversation on /mu/ about gothic rock because /mu/ is so clueless about the genre.
>>61225046
I wonder if they all like Joy Division.....

>being a goth
That fad died out a couple decades ago, why the fuck would anyone want to be one in this day and age?
>>61225536
Lmfao this is future pop. Do you people not know anything? FOR FUCK SAKE YOU SAID HIM IS GOTH SENPAI
>>61224649
>>61224667
For the most part, after the 80s goth split into a bunch of other genres, neofolk, dark ambient, a bunch of different industrial offshoots, gothic metal, black metal, etc.
>>61225536
that is synthpop
cold cave, maybe. it's gothic esque synth based post-punk.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELRvdyMwVQw
yeah, there are no real bauhaus/siouxsie/the cure style gothic revival bands that i know of.
>>61225613
>>61225571
It's goth industrial synth and gary numan has come a long way since cars.
>>61225656
>goth industrial synth
Now you're just making shit up.

the slightly fat goth chicks.
>tfw /mu/ never talks about darkwave or Velvet Acid Christ.
>>61224830
>Chelsea Wolfe
actually yeah, abyss is pretty close to 80s gothwave in some ways. and her style is v goth influenced.
>>61225667
well so are you.
>>61225460
Blitzkid is Horrorpunk
>>61225704
Future pop is a legit genre, if you knew anything about music you would know this. VNV Nation and Assemblage 23 are future pop. That song you linked is future pop, I would go as far as to say it's as poppy as Art Angels.
>>61225709
s'all the same wrist friendo
>>61225757
how can a musician from the 80s who's been making the same style of music for 30 years be labelled future anything?.
>>61225823

>Gary Numan is goth/industrial/synthpop.
He started out being synthpop, but during the 90s cashed in the NIN fad and made darker industrial styled stuff.
Trent is a huge fan of Gary Numan btw.
>>61225823
now you're just baiting. how /mu/ of you

Look at the bands I listed. Obviously I'm aware there's more diversity, I'm just saying that when people ask for goth rock usually the Bauhaus/Joy Division sound is what they want. Chelsea Wolfe and Kayo Dot sound nothing like that.
>>61225585
You're only wrong about dark ambient, that has nothing to do with goth
>>61226132
>You're only wrong about dark ambient, that has nothing to do with goth
Not really, dark ambient split off from industrial, the same sort of musicians that were involved in making neofolk and other post-industrial genres.
>>61226128
>Chelsea Wolfe and Kayo Dot sound nothing like that.
Chelsea's earlier albums are reminiscent of some of Jarboe's stuff or Children of God era Swans, or 45 Grave for stuff that involves electric guitar.
>>61224649
The KVB is probably the best of current gothic history.
What do you guys think of kiss the anus of a black cat going darkwave?
>>61226290

That's not Bauhaus or Joy Divison

>>61224649
goth is dead, it's been dead for over 20 years now
>>61225227
yes I watch Chris Ott too anon
>>61225688
because post 80s darkwave is garbage, same with futurepop, power electronics, neue deutsche haerte, etc
same with goth rock, all the talented people left the dark scene and became irrelevant
I don't care about the rock, give me that ethereal goth
>>61229664
>power electronics
a)nothing to do with goth other than the occasional fanbase overlap
b)there's been some great power electronics recently. for example consumer electronics' last three releases are the best they've ever done.
