Gothic Rock/Darkwave?

[Andrei Kuznetsov]

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only leftist who isn't a punk, a red-skinhead, or hip-hop head. Oh, dark despair- for I feel I am the only dark aristocratic of zee night in ziss cruel vurld!

Seriously though, anyone down with that kinda stuff? I'm a huge lover of a lot of gothic rock, electro goth, and darkwave. Stuff like:

Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, Clan of Xymox, Bella Morte, Inkubbus/Sukkubus, Diary of Dreams, Joy Division, London After Midnight, The March Violets, Dead Can Dance, Switchblade Symphony, The Changelings, ::mira::, The Cruxshadows, black tape for a blue girl, Romowe Rikoito, Moon Far Away, Love Spirals Downward, Jesus and Mary Chain, Voltaire, L'ame Immortelle, The Last Dance, Blutengel...

Please say I'm not alone.

I like Joy Division but they are post-punk not goth. I mean they are dark but I they dont fit in here.

[Pirate Utopian]

I like a few of these bands.

The Jesus and Mary Chain, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Joy Division are great.

[gorillafuck]

Out of those you listed, I listen to Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Joy Division

[mykittyhasaboner]

London After Midnight is pretty cool.

[NecroCommie]

Nah, too light hearted for my tastes. Or perhaps too apathetic is the right word... Curse this language!

[Andrei Kuznetsov]

Try some Diary of Dreams. That's some soul-crushing shit right there.

@Kuznetsov, you're not alone ;) I'm more on a (old school) EBM side myself, but I like the original batcave bands, post-punk and whole bunch of stuff from that subculture.

[Jazzratt]

Oh it's great to see some other people here with tastes similar to mine. In addition to every band listed so far (pretty much) I'm a bit of a fan of Sopor Aeternus and The Ensemble of Shadows, ThouShaltNot and Ego Likeness.

The whole genre is fucking epic, really.

I was just going to mention Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows! I remember I got kind of scared the first time my friend made me watch one of her music videos. :blushing:

I'm stoked about Dragon*Con myself- not just for the geek factor, but the Saturday night concert is going to be ASTOUNDING:

-Faith & the Muse
-Voltaire
-Bella Morte
-The Cruxshadows.

I think I just might cry blood, shit a bat, and jizz cobwebs.

[Comrade Akai]

I don't listen to a lot of punk, but I do listen to a lot of metal.

Can I kill you and take your place?

[Andrei Kuznetsov]

How about you just come to Dragon*Con instead and hang out with us freaks, geeks, and tweaks? We're the mellowship, the fellowship.

[NecroCommie]

I LOVE GOTH!!!
... Nightwish ...

I dunno about the rest of them, but as a goth, I can tell you that nightwish certainly is not gothic music.

There is a distinct difference between musicians dressing like goths, and music being gothic. Nightwish is the purest form of power-metal, which has little if nothing to do with gothic music.

I'd love to, but I can't afford to renew my passport much less a flight to Atlanta. Who knows, maybe one year. Definately if they have such epic muscians turning up.

Thank you, NecroCommie. I was about to start GAWTH RAAAAAGE.

Also, I can't wait to hear this song again live:
