Since /mu/ doesn't have good music, Let's decide on actually making a good general where we discuss Post punk, Darkwave, Goth rock and even Gothic Metal music and even culture and tradition

Here is a good song

Honestly, I think The Bellwether Syndicate who opened stole the show. Very high energy and got people moving.

>>127675362
Did you enjoy the show, all things considered? Would you see them again or were they a dud?
>>
>>127675602
They were decent live and the audience was very cool, but nothing earthshattering. The band had a rough start on account of a technical error on part of the sound technician failing to connect the guitar and microphone to the loud speakers for Ronny Moorings. He was very frustrated.

Have you heard Disintegration by The Cure? If you have (and you should) then their early 80s trilogy of albums (Seventeen Seconds, Faith, Pornography) are a reliable starting point. Also Joy Division's 2 albums as well. Other good starters...Juju by Siouxsie and the Banshees, Mask by Bauhaus, and First and Last and Always by The Sisters of Mercy.

Dead Can Dance (first album is particularly classic goth/PP but their later stuff is literal gothic music): https://youtu.be/dTRvluWhgt0?si=DTIkXRnNcf0Qlhgn
All of Siouxsie's discography but especially Juju: https://youtu.be/cPzOU9IoXR0?si=unBgXfaVBbwJmp3F
Cocteau Twins's first three records (much like DCD their later stuff is different but still very much worth listening to): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVx0li_Hihk
Nico's second record (considered to be the album that invented the goth aesthetic and many of its concepts): https://youtu.be/-n8Vqin2H34?si=ihEywiEZOG3hUd9Y
The Cure (especially their second-fourth records but again their discog is amazing, god-tier run they had from the late 70s to early 90s): https://youtu.be/4KeII31qyck?si=RSf0e2nZyvqJcc6m

What are some bands that aren't quite goth but almost there? Post-punky and gloomy, dark, but not full blown black everything.
The sound and the chameleons get a bit dark but I don't know if real goths would consider them goth.

I think you'll find that most genres usually have the big dogs who dominate discussion. They're just so apart of the zeitgeist and synonymous with the genre. Like if you say thrash then most people will think the big 4. If you think prog rock then bands like pink floyd, king crimson, yes. Psychedelic rock then the doors, jimi hendrix, pink floyd, and later beatles. You'd have to really be into the genre to get to the deep cuts and the b or c tier stuff

Most malls are still around, though obviously the 2000s alt stores are mostly gone.

There's two stores zoomer mallgoths hang out that now and it's a tiny music/movie store that also sell meme t-shirts and funko pops, and then the video game store that also sells anime merch, as well as funko pops. You can still buy a Misfits chain wallet though. Misfits chain wallet is the heart and soul of mallgoth.

Why do people listen to darkwave in SEPTEMBER? hello? I strictly save darkwave and dungeon synth for november-feburary.

Zoomer and TikTok Goths are better than 30+ fetish people with weird hobbies and shit music taste. The original Goth scene was pretty tame, mainstream and aimed at people between 15 and 25, and had nothing to do with weird kinks. Everybody knew about Cure back then.
>>
>>127702588
Were The Cure really that big of a deal pre-Japanese Whispers? I feel like it's the Head/Kiss Me/Disintegration era that shot them into stardom.

maybe in the US. In Europe Boys Don't Cry became really popular, and Goth fashion and music was a popular trend for teenagers already in the early 80s

You guys must listen to Rowland S Howard

I feel like My Dying Bride deserves more goth, or at least "gothic" cred. Sure, they're a death/doom metal band through and through, but their sensibilities are so overwhelmingly "gothic" in nature. I mean, listen to this shit:

https://youtu.be/phfpBeW4Smo?si=mm21XyzSaOIEeBtP
https://youtu.be/TR9BNdZKdHA?si=aceFOqgGquEsW1zz
https://youtu.be/EVBj1G7ywCE?si=8TqouDThMY4EfeUZ

I can understand not calling them "goth" but there's an undeniable appreciation of the "gothic" in their music.
>>
>>127707370
I thought they are considered the quintessential goth metal band like Paradise Lost
>>
>>127707370
I mean Blutengel is goth taken to its most ludicrous cliches and it's electronic pop music. Gothic is really more of an aesthetic sensibility that comes out of Romanticism.
>>
>>127708237
That's probably Type O Negative on a surface level. They probably had the most potent mix of visibility/acknowledgement and actual cred. My Dying Bride never really had the same career launch as Paradise Lost or Anathema, they have the cred but not the visibility.
>>
>>127709643
Anathema were never really goth besides their second and 3rd album and they quickly moved to alternative/prog rock
>>
>>127709958
Serenades has Sleepless on it though.

Samefagging but I think you really have to go to the excess with gothic music. It's part of a whole theatrical and aesthetic package. A big thing with Romanticism was emphasizing emotion, passion and the irrational in contrast to Enlightenment rationalism. Gothic will tend to resist attempts to categorize itself mechanically, it's more about mood. Sonically this is an electronic pop group but no one would dispute that it's goth:
https://youtu.be/sfN6kRAd2bQ

This a sticker, more organic, more longstanding artistic tradition in Western societies. You could turn the "mall goth" cliche around today and have it in abandoned shopping malls. There was a whole fascination in 19th-century gothic literature with haunted castles and cathedrals. There's something about these big buildings from the past and fallen into disrepair that is fascinating to people and makes a great setting for gothic art, it creates some sense of an uncanny otherworld:
