#I've listened to a LOT of Chvrches recently too and I think they're goth but I dont think the world is ready for that conversation yet

would you give a few personal best goth albums/artists/recommendations

Absolutely I would love to!

I'm going to go by albums since that's how I find it easiest to get into music. Anyway some of my more well-known goth faves that I kinda always listen to:

Disintegration and Pornography by The Cure. Disintegration is one of my favorite albums of all time and its one of THE goth albums however I love all of The Cure's music so.

Violator, Black Celebration, Music for the Masses, Some Great Reward and Playing the Angel by Depeche Mode. You can't expect me to choose one album of theirs they are literally the peche mode. Their gothiest TO ME is Black Celebration though.

With Sympathy by Ministry. One of my absolute favorite albums this is peak cheesy 80s gothy synthpop. I also love the song Everyday is Like Halloween.

Floodland and First and Last and Always by The Sisters of Mercy. Another goth classic like true vampire music.

I like a lot of the usual 80s suspects that may or may not count as goth such as Joy Division and New Order (who i absolutely do count) Pet Shop Boys and The Smiths (debatable but probably not tho)

My more niche fave darkwavey type stuff:

Shattered by Glass Spells

Surf Goth EP and Surf Goth B-sides by Desmond Doom. They also have a new single I like called The Big Boys

Trauma Club or literally anything by Male Tears

Haunted Castle by French Police

Display Model by Harsh Symmetry

Reflections or really anything by October Burns Black

If you like more industrial angry doomy gothy:

An Overture by Youth Code

Anything HEALTH has ever done. I like their songs with NIN, Youth Code, The Soft Moon, and Street Sects (all of these are good bands on their own too)

New Flesh by Priest (supposedly these are former members from the band Ghost? I like them more personally)

I like a lot of industrial like KMFDM and Nine Inch Nails. KMFDM has a fuck ton of music so my fave albums are Tohuvabohu, HYËNA, Nihil, Adios and Hau Ruck.

I've been listening to a little more nu metal recently since that's my bfs specialty and we have that blend playlist thang and he recently got me into Tonight the Stars Revolt by Powerman 5000. It's fun cheesy sci-fi nu metal I really enjoy it.
