This is prolly the most goth song on this album. Both music and lyrics wise.

fuck trying to figure out "goth subgenres" or what "goth adjacent" means, do you listen to:

bands with a man singing who sounds like a sad ghoul drifting around a mausoleum and moaning or something idk (sisters of mercy, fields of the nephilim, glorious din, christian death, o children, joy division, plastique noir, she past away, red lorry yellow lorry)

with a guy who sounds like he's possessed by some kind of evil snake demon (bauhaus, the wake, plasticzooms, skinny puppy, altar de fey, hocico)

bands with a frontwoman who has literally the most angelic, haunting voice ever or the band overall has a sound like that oooo aaaa (cocteau twins, strange boutique, dead can dance, chelsea wolfe, tamaryn, this mortal coil)

frontwoman who sounds like she personally wants to rip you apart with her teeth (gitane demone, light asylum, skeletal family, diva destruction, boy harsher, voodoo church)

bro who sounds like he's crying on the phone to his mom because someone made fun of his eyeliner on the playground (killing joke, drab majesty, the march violets, theatre of hate, the damned)

woman who sounds like, against all recommendations, she needs another iced coffee with three shots of espresso (lebanon hanover, nico, the harrow, switchblade symphony)

gang who would make anyone go nuts on the dancefloor (cabaret voltaire, plasticzooms, nine inch nails)

they have that guy who is just british (the legendary pink dots, the tear garden)

people who are angy as fuk and they should be (skinny puppy, the tear garden, kmfdm, nine inch nails)

guys who would kiss you on the forehead and tuck you in at night (vnv nation, depeche mode)

gang who makes you feel like you're literally dying like in a good way (tropic of cancer)

they yell at you a lot (the march violets, skinny puppy, alien sex fiend, play dead, the fair sex, bauhaus)

singer sounds positively whorish, complimentary (male tears, elz and the cult, virgin prunes, xymox, alien sex fiend, london after midnight, gene loves jezebel)

Group of locals who dance ball de gitanes during the festa major (local holiday). Photos taken in Sitges (Penedès, Catalonia) in 1920, 1940, 1979, and 2014.

Photos from Sitges Festa Major.

As you can see, until the 1970s women weren’t allowed to participate in the dance, even though this dance represents the courting between boys and girls. Traditional dances used to be performed only by men, including men dressed as women when they represented women characters. The case shown in this post is representative of what happened in most parts of our country, but starting in the 1970s women have been slowly accepted in most aspects of public life, including dancing in the holidays. If you’re familiar with Catalan culture or have followed this blog for a while, you will know that dancing in the streets is a central part of the most popular holidays in many parts of the country: festa major or festes patronals.

Nowadays, most dances with women characters allow women, and most dances that are gender-neutral are open to all genders, even though usually there are groups that still only allow men. Even though men are allowed to represent women or women-coded characters (and some, like the Diablessa in ball de diables or the Moma, are usually danced by a man), women are usually still forbidden from representing male or male-coded characters. But, slowly, things are changing: like we said in this post today, another town has taken the step forward: Algaida’s cossiers now allow women to play the Demon, and we expect more Mallorcan towns to follow their steps soon.
