I would say most of radiohead but ever since Thom outed himself as a zionist pig I haven't been able to listen since. For old times sake though:
Exit music resonates largely because I would daydream about running away from my shitass parents and actually did it one day which follows into no surprises and my constant battle against depression and suicidal ideation.
Then we have:
I could go on and on and on for this one because sad music is like a good 70% of my music as sad is about 70% of my life. I won't go through all of them but general themes of struggling with addiction, depression, loss, parental abuse, low self esteem etc etc.
I only know some of this stuff, but based on what I am familiar with, do you know much goth music? Cause I bet youd loce some sisters of mercy
I am a listener of everything, I have a playlist I've been building for about 16 years and its 8 days long and covers more or less every genre that can be covered.
I'll give a listen
That is some media storage consistency right there. I bet youd dig some tru goff tho.
Indeed
That isnt tru goff!
Damn genre purists, the first two bands on my mp3 player was The Cure and Type O Negative from my dads goth brainwashing so its all the same to me sweaty
I didnt actually know what it meant i have to look up these genre definitions
The 90s were weird for goth. It became more an aesthetic thing than a music style. Type O Negative were for sure influenced by goth, but theyre an alternative rock band imo. And then industrial became a thing and I love industrial, but while there is a lot of cultural crossover with goth, the music ain't goth, its industrial. It's not really splitting hairs when Siouxsie and the Banshees as well as Marilyn Manson are counted as the same music genre. It was the beginning of goth being commodified fucking hard and applied to anything with dark aesthetics, in the 2000s the term emo replaced it for a while, suddenly the dude with the black leather trench coat who loves Marilyn Manson is an emo and not a goth. Both terms were use pejorative and usually they'd just lump it all under the term F-slur, all of this leading to the Goth Girl fetish crap we see now. Goth is part of punk and punk belongs to the punks, not the business men. I feel strongly about subculture not being generalized and watered down to appease casual interest. There needs to be some gates kept or it all goes to shit fast. Especially when its the same people that called it all f-slur music or emo for 15 years decides that they like nu metal and goth girls make their pee pee hard now. The people within these subcultures make these distinctions because when you listen to a lot of music its nice to have distinctions that properly describe the music.
