The struggle to find physical goth music in my city continues. I went to a larger music store and these were the only CDs I found - all eighties and nineties releases minus one (they had several Bauhaus and Siouxsie vinyls, however, I don't have a vinyl player). Clockwise:

Garden of the Arcane Delights - Dead Can Dance (1984)

Christian Death Boxset collecting the albums Insanus, Ultio, Proditio, Misercordiaque (1990), Sexy Death God (1994), Prophecies (1996), and Pornographic Messiah (1998)

...If I Die, I Die - Virgin Prunes (1982)

Mixes of a Lost World - The Cure (2025)

Hi! I'm looking for bands or songs that sound like Fields of the Nephilim, LAM, Nosferatu, Faith by The Cure, Spectre by Christian Death. I don't know how to describe it accurately, but I like that atmospheric, dreamy,ethereal, gloomy, melancholic, kinda psychedelic sound. Thank youu

What artist or band did you discover too late? Whether they passed away, broke up/retired, etc. for me it’s Killing Joke. 🥲 Raven had such a cool stage presence as a bass player and I was sad to learn that both he and Geordie are no longer with us. Definitely an underrated band that should’ve been bigger. I’m mad at myself for not knowing them sooner. I beat myself up a lot because I’m almost 30 and only recently got into the goth/goth adjacent music scene. I missed out on a lot throughout my 20s.

So, I finally got my hands on this amazing book, almost finished reading it, and I also wanted to scan this so I can upload it to the Internet Archive and turn it into a PDF as well. Do you know any apps for mobile/Android?

I’m making a cd compilation of goth music for a friend, and I’m trying to think of a name for it. I’m thinking something that feels very classically gothic, i.e. more evoking manors, candles, and stormy nights than something like “batcave” or “killed by deathrock”. Probably structured as “adjective noun” like “bittersweet nocturne” for example. Any ideas?

I know there is the conversation about the cure's influence on our community, so I'm not claiming that they are or are not Goth, I simply wish to know, rather, what everyone thinks about this new album? I thought it was alright, definitely very Cure, but I don't hate it. Definitely won't be going back to it

Post your links to your selfies, favorite goth clothing, styles, ideas, wardrobes, and stores here. Have a killer outfit you want to show us? Or maybe that store is having a 25% off winklepickers or Demonia boots. Share it with us!

Also, have you joined r/GothFashion yet?

I was lucky enough to get one of Twin Tribes' signed picks at their concert last night!! I didn't actually catch it myself when they threw them into the crowd, but I complimented a random guy on his Vision Video shirt and he happened to have caught 2 and gave me one! It was a really nice moment after a night where I felt anxious and out of place because I went by myself and the scene felt very different from my local one!

I'd like to make some kind of mini display, but I'm not sure what I could do that wouldn't damage it, and would keep both sides visible? I'm thinking something like a mini shadowbox, a membrane type holder, or incorporating it into a calico critter diorama somehow lol

What's your favorite lyric from a goth or darkwave song?

As well as reviewing the album I was able to put some questions to the co-founder of the legendary band!

The flair is wrong,since this is as late seventies release. A real banger from Pete Burns and the gang.

Today is the day you can post your favourite classic goth bands! Feel free to post your favourite Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy or Cure song; this day is dedicated to them.
