Actually started with Love & Rockets, then Bauhaus. Also The Cure and just alternative radio, until grunge started. I was not a goth. I wore Chicago Bulls T-shirts with shorts every day. This was 88-92, and I don’t listen to any of it anymore. The Peter Murphy/ David J tour in 2019 was incredible, though!

I also started with love and rockets and then bauhaus!! I recently got a love and rockets cd only to find it was the radio version, and it was heavily censored. May not have been the greatest listening experience but was entertaining nonetheless !

My dad is probably about your age and finding out that he, who had me on mainly grunge and rock growing up, was familiar with Disintegration was a huge surprise lol

@BEE1000 It's magical.. If you're open to it I would strongly suggest Bloodflowers which is probably my personal favorite and does a similar job of soundscaping. The latest album also does a great job of capturing their older feel

This perfect band (aesthetically, sonically, historically) epitomizes what I call Lounge Goth, an underrated fusion. The first time Danny ever talked to me, it was at a party called FIST (Fun Is Still Transgressive) and it was because I was wearing a MLWTTKK shirt. I would say if you know you know, because somehow everyone looks confused when I bring up this group (“Kooler Than Jesus”? “A Daisy Chain 4 Satan”? Anyone??), but they were a live act in The Crow and featured on the soundtracks for Cool World and Showgirls so, I mean, come on.

there is something about songs belonging to these genres and adjacent that make me feel like a tormented beautiful woman (which I am), but in a way that is artistically sexy

The station and its music directors have a pretty broad interpretation of "goth." For sure, artists like the Cure, Skinny Puppy, Southern Death Cult (aka "The Cult" as they would eventually be called). Bauhaus, as linked here. Kinda like Halloween programming. But also songs of death and murder from artists like Leadbelly, Carter Family and Charley Patton ("Oh Death"). Enjoy. :)

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
