#me in spring and summer when I wear a lot of pinks and florals: yea you might say I’m a goth! or not I don’t really care

[persephonaae]

what are ur fav goth bands? :o

I mean I guess that depends on what you count as a goth band right! Cause u got your classic sorta traditional goth bands but then I think there’s also music that might not be at first glance that traditional goth sorta sense but still could be goth music? If you understand that? And my music taste is really all over the place as well

Like in terms of bands that have that traditional goth sort of intention, I enjoy Bauhaus, Buck-Tick, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and like there’s also a lot of stuff from bands that I just haven’t really listened to a lot of their stuff yet but I like one or two songs so far

And then you have bands or musicians who. Aren’t goth per-se? But definitely have strong followings from people who could be considered goth. So like I enjoy David Bowie, Oingo Boingo, The Cure, Gary Numan, Adam Ant, Faun, Lost Horizon, The Psychedelic Furs, Blackmore’s Night, Florence & The Machine, Talking Heads (that one’s very debatable but I do know goths love a funky little song and boy Talking Heads sure has a lot of those) stuff like that

Questions like that are always funny for me to answer bc like the definition of what’s “acceptably goth” and what’s not is always changing, I just try not to think too much about it and if someone ever calls me a poser, then, ah oh well so be it I don’t really care all that much because at the very least I know my taste in music fucks
