also 1. the youtube goths say all u need to be a goth is to know the music and 2. i would LOVE a list
OK OK BET (note in the middle of writing the list: i am Sat Up in my bed so locked in rn)
so like, first the classics duh:
i love love love the cure like that's an obvious one but rrrrr they are so good these are like my favs. i saw them in concert like a year ago w my dad and we fucking missed boys dont cry bc it was like. the last encore song and it was midnight and we wanted to get merch and run like the wind yknow (top two hoodies i own tho so i think worth it)
siouxsie and the banshees?? fun fact if you've seen the show hannibal she did the last song and said she interpreted as a love story so 😌 somehow i dont have a siouxsie playlist oh well
depeche mode i also don't listen to a whole lot but the bangers are fr bangers. could listen to ghosts again on repeat forever probably
bauhaus!! bela legosi's dead is such a song of my childhood tbh maybe that explains some things
cocteau twins.. ok gonna be honest i know maybe Two songs lmao but i know they're kinda important so still putting them here. i feel like my dad called them pretentious once and that was all i needed to hear rip (small slight con of having a dad who literally showed me everything to do with music is that his opinion of music is still very influential to me. but like he's also usually right so)
not a band, but the rolling stone had an article of the top 50 goth songs (idr if it was *ever* bc that's kinda crazy but whatev) and mcr was on it? for baby bats they said but i was still kinda surprised. and then i thought about it and like.. lowkey yeah. if emo is "the world is dark and horrible and everything sucks" and goth is "the world sucks but there's beauty in the shadows" i feel like mcr is smack dab in the middle. anyway i made the list into a playlist and added ones i thought were missing
ok!! these ones are newer:
varsovia is so fucking good omggg. found them bc one of their songs was the theme song for this AMAZING hbo show called los espookys ive prolly mentioned that lmao. theres a bunch of spanish (i say spanish and not latino just bc i don't actually know some of them might be spaniards lol) goth bands (including the next one) and made a playlist bc like. duh
twin tribes is another band that i kinda only know two songs by but like that's ok!! they are rlly good
ok so i found vision video on instagram randomly and didn't even listen to the music at first bc i didn't realize they were a band?? mostly it's just the lead singer posting and he has the persona of "goth dad" and is an emt and just generally a really cool guy (amazing makeup also). but have come to v much enjoy their music and if i ever see them live i will combust

new wave being swept up with goth music legitimately upsets this middle-aged vietnamese man. also fun fact, new wave dad didn't know who tf bela legosi was until he heard "bela legosi is dead" by bauhaus jaosdfjsdo
Your dad RULES. That kinda reminds me of when I was listening to that song in the car with my dad and he was like, “what about Bela Lugosis dad?” EVERY TIME they said Bela Lugosis Dead… he thinks he’s so funny.

With how many Dracula movies are coming out, I'm very disappointed Bela Legosi's Dead hasn't been featured in any of them.

I have mixed feelings about Bela Legosi is dead because on one hand, it got one of my favourite bands popular, on the other, I’m autistic.

iconic 8o’s goth albums
...
Burning from the Inside - Bauhaus
Tumblr media
- having bauhaus as the epitome of goth bands, this album might cause a bit of controversy because it’s not the most popular bauhaus record. though, it is the best. the dark guitar riffs and edgy beats give this album a method to it’s madness. bauhaus still remains a titular band of the goth world. don’t consider yourself a life-drained, bloodsucking goth until you’ve listened to Burning from the Inside by Bauhaus.
Disintegration - The Cure
Tumblr media
- yeah, Disintegration is more goth than Seventeen Seconds, i said it! the reason why this record is more goth comes from its long lasting songs of sadness and dead ends. yes, Seventeen Seconds has A Forest but this one has Fascination Street, Lullaby and Prayers for Rain; name better goth anthems, i’ll wait.
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
Tumblr media
- the darkness and tired energy this record has plays into the goth persona perfectly. one could battle Joy Division being more New Wave than goth but let’s face it, Ian Cutis was a goth icon and we all know that.
Ocean Rain - Echo & the Bunnymen
Tumblr media
- this album brings you down an endless river of goth slappery. nocturnal me? the killing moon? what more could one want? the darkness among the catchy tunes exemplifies the meaning of being goth. plus, who could resist listening to the biggest babe in all of goth music like Ian McCulloch?

August Challenge Day 24: Bela Lugosi's Dead
I created this beat today when I was playing around in Ableton and I couldn't seem to come up with a tune or any lyrics that made sense with it... and then I though... hmmm... this would actually maybe work as a cover of 1979 vampire weirdo classic "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by OG goth rock outfit Bauhaus... so I tried it out and it kind of did. Light up your clove cigarettes, get out your black nail polish and your studded collar and go to town! Or stay at home, because COVID.

Update: definitely not going to happen on time for valentine's day, but Walda now has 3 wives and I'm basing them off of Bauhaus songs because listening to Bela Legosi's Dead on loop gave me the idea.
so much sapphic minecraft art,,
