Goth never dies. 54 yr old die hard goth fan living in Yosemite. Living in a dark forest still feels goth to me . undead undead undead -bau haus.
You're a goth living in Yosemite?!! You're living my dream.
@@Gnomesmusher it's awesome except winter. Tons of snow. Trapped in the house for days sometimes. But we do?have a ton of wildlife. Bearz coyote racoons deer etc..
I lived in Yosemite August of '91 - August of '92. BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE! And I remember November being my favorite month, in terms of the scenery. I lived in Curry Village (is it still called Curry Village?), then near the Yosemite Lodge, then quit working and became a "park bum." Slept on a rock below Glacier Point. Summer of '92, I volunteered for the park service and lived in Backpacker's Walk-In campground. Do they still have the free wine tastings at the Ahwahnee Hotel? Anyway, I better end this comment before I write a friggin book. Oh yeah, winter is brutal. It's beautiful, but can get very depressing with so few people and so little direct sunlight in the Valley.
@@thislazylife camp curry was bought out about 3 yrs ago the village had names changed but seeing how so many people all over the world knew it by its?name they changed it back. No more wine tasting as far as i know. As of this reply tioga is?closed 2nd snow fall in high country. So glad you got those times up here. Trees are changing beautiful and getting cold. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
Same age but in Phoenix
40 year old music. Goth never dies.
.... and there are soo many acts that are hidden in obscurity but nobody understands why: ua-cam.com/video/9qSyTb0OyWk/v-deo.htmlsi=Gl7zmOoNpgGdA-Lj
Goths are dying off. We accepted there was no place in society for us and we responded with anger. Emo is a whole different game
undead undead undead
@@aaronslater470 emo IS a shite development. The nation is experiencing an insidious cancer of culture...more vapid and meaningless and hollow than the empty heads of the young that are promulgating their social media lobotomizing brain washed ideology of identity politics. Unread, uncreative, uneducated, unthinking... they try to fill their void by claiming and integrating any intellectual property, style, music, whatever... and then spit out the "new" dead version of it. Like when amazon took lord of the rings and shat out rings of power. Emo is what happened when people wanted to take goth and claim goth, but failed to realize that it wasn't just a clothing fashion thing. That's why emos had all godawful music, and no creative or introspective mindsets... just the mediocrity/ commonality of mental depression which they channeled into the new era mindset of claiming affects for attention and specialness (like being trans or some other self marginalized 'victim' special group). But that is fortunately why emo will ultimately fade, because it is simply imitators participating in a fashion fad... there wont' be emos in 30 years still proud to be emo. Goth is an actual culture, with an actual community... with shared tastes in music, art, media, and members that span multiple generations; elder goths are not shamed, they are respected...even if they want to show up at a dance club. Goths thrive on living in a fringe, and fortunately, emo proves that no matter how many Chelseas die their hair blue and take up a cause... get piercings and tattoos, there is still something ephemeral and special that separates goth with substance and depth.
yea a lot of it is just great
Being goth is often misunderstood as a superficial fascination with darkness, exemplified by devil worship or excessive makeup. However, the essence of goth culture is much deeper and more nuanced. It is a poetic exploration of the human experience, with a particular focus on life's inherent pain and sorrow. This perspective is not about glorifying suffering, but rather about acknowledging and understanding it as a fundamental part of our existence.
My misses is a goth in 23 and listens to Bauhaus , The Cult ,Joy Division,The Cure ,NIN ,Ministry ,Sisters of Mercy,Stones ,The Doors,Zep ,Rush,The Mission etc .Liking the music on here alot
i listen to 80s music and was only alive a year in the 80s.anyone else like depeche mode the cure or psicom i am feeling old now.
Goth and Shoegaze are simply the best music ever made in the humble opinion of this 62 year old Brit who still loves discovering new bands every week. God Bless the late and Great British DJ John Peel for educating me so I was not brainwashed to only like what the mainstream dictated.
The Peel Sessions. Music Ed class for a lost generation… (61 year old JD/Cure/NO fan)
Joy Division, Cure, New Order, are all great bands I have to agree, along with so many others like the Stone Roses, JAMC, Clan Of Xymox and Charlatans. Worth listening to a German band on You Tube called Seasurfer, especially the tracks "Stay" "Fireworks" and "Dragon Song". The original lead singer, Dorian Electrique, now has a band called Loveblind AKA We Are Loveblind which are brilliant as are her very distinct vocals.@@kylecduncan
John Peel was mainstream...
@@Alix777. Now he is.
I'm totally with you there, Nick. Peel was the one who opened the doors to so many bands and opened my ears to so much music I still treasure (on vinyl) to this day with same pleasure I had 40+ years ago. And like you I am excited to be discovering new bands (and not so new ones) in the Goth and darkwave spheres. It's a joy to know that people are dedicating their lives - often for little or no reward - to create new music. It's a balm to the soul after all the rubbish rap and cheesy pop that clogs up the airwaves like so much toxic, mind-numbing sludge.
This is the exact same stuff we used to listen to in the 1980s.
I love this channel because it’s about quality artists. Not just putting something out there for the sake of being new. Carefully selected tracks. I like just about everything I’ve heard on this channel. Glad you’re back!
Thank you so much for your comment. I will try my best until the end of the year. Let's see in 2024. UA-cam is getting worse and worse, so I need to think about it. So cross fingers to have the best performance with the next videos 🤞
You can't polish a turd. This is boring weak satanic fkcrap. Goth used to be good and fun. Xymox, the cure, glj, love n rockets, Lords of the new church, tones on tail, the damned, alien sex fiend, etc etc. Who made anything more diverse than these bands back in the 80s, NOW???? WHAT is better than most cure songs now????? Anyone out their topping, Dance with me by Lords? Tones on tail GO?? love n rockets, ball of confusion, haunted etc. The damned is it a dream?? Alien sex fiend - walk the line?

In your heart and soul resides the vibe.
She past away is my favorite. I will listen them in Istanbul next month
I'm pissed at them for not coming to my county even though it's a lot closer than the US or Argentina. 😑
they're amazing live saw them already 2 times, was never disappointed
where and when?

Merhaba arkadaşım, bir şey tavsiye etmek istiyorum: an instrumental album Nirguna "Convergence"
They are soo good :) Enjoy, I hope they come to Australia soon
Im in my mid 40s and I mostly missed goth in my childhood/teens, but I did listen to some synth pop. My cousin recently put me on to killing joke, souxie and banshees, and cure, and I’ve been digging the post punk/goth/dark synth vibe. Thanks for this list.
Love Riki, Kaelan Mikla, Minuit Machine, Pixel Grip, and Ritual Howls. I'm old enough to have been a fan of Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Siouxsie, and The Cure back in the day.
I have tried listening to newer stuff but it just doesn't feel the same. My son does some heavy stuff on UA-cam and Spotify so I put some of his stuff on. And a band i see a lot at?shows.
Nemesea, stream of passion, arven, the gathering, London after Midnicht, DARK WAVE.
We're Vertical Patrols from San Diego, CA.
Come and take a ride with us to the 70's and 80's sound that shaped so many lives around the world.
I'm a metal head but Goth has also been a part of my upbringing. I am excited to see DARK make this list. They are my goto for writing. Their model 'Lilith' is a muse of mine. Love this channel.
Ditto. Dark is great and Lilith is stunning. Videos and music are both so stylish.
Goths never die, they just fade to black.
as do Metallica fans
@@noiselabproject9659Metallica fans fade into Monster Energy where they are then put into cans and recycled into the next edgy teenage metal fan.
This scratch an itch I didn't know I had.
I'm barely 18 minutes typing out this comment but I'd just like to say thank you so much for this playlist! You haven't just listed great bands, but even went as specific as the monthly listerner count! This is amazing 🤗 Other playlists have either been hit or miss, or full of bands who either only one single, one album or aren't even on Spotifiy.
I've only started dipping my toe into Goth over a month ago and although I've listened to a decent selection at this point, I'm always on the hunt for more! Again, thank you! 🥰
Many of the bands listed in the video above are not really goth, but rather synth wave or dark wave, which is often played in goth clubs, but the real dark post punk is this for example: ua-cam.com/video/9qSyTb0OyWk/v-deo.htmlsi=Gl7zmOoNpgGdA-Lj
If you want an interesting album for background listen, try Nirguna "Convergence"
Boohoo. You can't polish a turd. This is boring weak satanic fkcrap. Goth used to be good and fun.

Digging the Playlist.
Being a goth since the early ninties and not even realizing it, this compilation brought back memories of my lonely life. 😊😊😊 I wouldn't change any of it.
Never change! You can try the album Nirguna "Convergence" in the meantime ;)
@@UndeadAbomination Thank you for the suggestion. I will do that right away.😃
Nice Playlist !
Kaelan Mikla, scandalously the best band I've heard in recent years, queens of post punk, I love them. 😍🤩🥰😍🤩
They have come a long way 👍
Thank you!!!
Hello!
We're Vertical Patrols from San Diego, CA.
Thank you for this. Much needed music that warms my soul. Really, I love this music.
Lacrimosa, Faith and the Muse, and das ich, die krupps, Wumpscut, covenant, Umbra et imago, Rammstein, Nightwish, Within temptation, and many more.
I think the point of the video is to share bands that are currently active. As much as I love FATM, they’re long gone. However, The bellwether syndicate could have been included… if they were more popular.
Umm, FATM yes, but all the rest are rock or metal bands. Some good ones too.
Most of these are metal, mate. Or hard rock.
Gallowdance has been on my hit list for since it came out. Glad it's popular now, I guess?
It's popular among fans of the genre, it's not mainstream popular, so it's fine. 👌🏻
To be honest, I could not understand Lebanon Hanover music quite well when they came out. They sounded lo-fi and very weird for 2012. But after a decade, I've finally understood that they were 10 years ahead. Most of the new postpunk artists sound like an accelerated version of Gallowdance. Thanks for watching!
"Waah"
@@GothicBop most bands actually sound like some variation of soft kill
Same. This song is like a time machine, taking me back to 2013 living back home in Monument Valley and dancing under the moonlight to this song. It still hits.
Was looking for new music after a hyperpop rabbit hole for a month and this is perfect, ty so much!
A lot here I am currently listening to. I am so glad Goth has not died out and these incredible musicians keep making beautiful music.
Almost all of these bands have something in common: if this were the 80s, those monthly listener numbers would be many times larger.
Согласен
Yes because the streams increase when they release something new.
Was never a goth... I'm 55 now and was a new romantic in the 80s but have come across 3 bands that I love atm... Seen them live this year... They all have a goth background... Love them and worth a listen... Lord of the lost....vnv nation... Solar fake... Have a listen!
Yet another great selection. Thanks 👍
Such a great playlist 🔥👌
Shit...this is the type of music I've been listening to for a while and I didn't know it's genre.
It sure as shit isn't goth.
@@malphadour Darkwave, Post-Punk
I love this channel! :)
thanks for the playlist :)
Great slection, thanks for putting together such a nice mix.
You know, I kind of like your misspelling of selection. Best typo ever! Don't ever edit it, okay? 😍
@@gamesturbator oh, i just realized the typo. Dont worry i wont change it
Definitely one of my favorites!! Keep it going -- 🖤🖤
Wow..... You just sent me into a whole new world of music, I had no idea there was this many good bands in this scene(s) Truly an incredible list, so great job & thank you!!
55 old goth and former goth DJ: once a goth, always a goth.🦇🖤
this is kinda random but i was trying to find this band that reminded me of Korine and it was bugging me so bad...and it turned out to be Castlebeat. which is really not that much like Korine and other synth-goth, but more just modern new wave in general, like Current Joys or Men I Trust. posting this because i think most of you also appreciate this type of music.
for me, really any music where a flanger guitar pedal is being used is probably gonna be a winner lol
If you want an interesting album for background listen, try Nirguna "Convergence"
I'm a big fan of Brazil. I have loved goth music and goth style since I was 11 years old. Now I'm 30 and I still love it
You're an excellent song curator! This is medicine for the soul. 💀
Thanks!
My feeling exactly. And any compilation that includes She Past away gets my vote (and Dark, Vandal Moon and anything by Helene de Thoury). Those cool, dark waves wash away all the superficial sh*t twittering through our lives.
Really good job, thanks.
Great compilation! Not a single bad track. Thank you.
drab majesty was my favorite on this list thanks i will listen to this when i sketch.
never heard of Forever Grey - great stuff! Thanks for compiling :)
If you want an interesting album for background listen, try Nirguna "Convergence"
A great playlist and a very enjoyable aural adventure on the dark side. And the band that hits the spot for me is indeed DARK - 'In the Shadows' is a thrilling ride on the crest of the darkwave. Very happy to see She Past Away, Vandal Moon and of course the amazingly talented Helene de Thoury (Minuit Machine and Hante) here. Missing from here but on my personal play-and-repeat list are La Scaltra, Sofus Solivagante and Milicent (now transforming into Vague Phonique).
Good mix. I identified as a goth in the late '90s and still kinda do (I wear All Blacks most days) and it's good to hear how things have progressed since "back in the day" *nod*
The intro to Lebanon Hanover (which contains the first track streamed on this video)reminds me of “A Forest” which is obviously by The Cure.
Thank you!
Pixel grip fucking slaps
1:21:58 goodbye horses until they started singing 😅 fkn love this whole list
Thank you ❤
53 year old Goth, love the tracks from the late 70's/80's til the 2000, & beyoud never gone or forgotten 😈😎
Enjoying the HELL out of this!!!👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
The entire playlist is AMAZING. I might have just found my new favorite music genre.
how about the bears in Yosemite? do you dance with them?😂😂😂
Esta bien rifado el playlist. Gracias a Gothic Bop Music !!
Nice. My dark friday is save 🖤🖤🖤
An other great playlist to fall asleep. Thanks !
Must admit my first thought on the opener was a severely distorted and shit-tuned rendition of The Cures' "A Forest." It stood alone, however, and I found it and the rest of the set a perfect fit for the night. Thanks for posting.
Thank you auntie
This is excellent ❤ takes me back years...nice to see the younger gen have got this right.
If you want an interesting album for background listen, try Nirguna "Convergence"
Good play list. Highlights for myself where Lebanon hanover, The soft moon, Minuit machine and Dark. Overall, a good listen.

Male Tears, Vandal Moon and Linea Aspera. That's my jam right there.
3 songs in . 53 and loving your reference. Don't make me quit my job. People suck the life out of me. now it is my time
The best for the end 2:35:14
That intro always sends me straight to heaven
Forever living on the darkside.❤ Some fabulous tracks here and a few I've managed to see.
I don't like to wake up.
Laying next to a dead horse.
For the rest of my live.
I have most of these bands represented in my Spotify playlist. There is so much good music in the world! ❤
This is exactly like a lot of the early 80's Goth/New Wave. The only difference is that there is better equipment so you have a more refined sound, any now you can do the same thing with 2 people that used to take 4 or 5.
The song referred to the video as The Agnes Circle - Porcelain is something else that i fail to remember.. Other than that great palylist!
🦇🦇 Nice songs 🦇🦇
Forgot one very important song: Mareuex - The Perfect Girl
I love this music . I lovr this art. This is art . Hello from Ionian sea.
What Goths listen to in 2023? Their mom screaming at them to get a job and move out of the basement. All joking aside, I was just listening to Tones on Tail last night. Now have the sudden urge to find my Sex Gang Children vinyl.
At least they are goth bands unlike this list :) Don't forget your Red Lorry albums :)
Bonus: Mr Kitty - In Your Blood.:) That's one bonus I'm never going for.:))
Anyway, Many Thanks for the uploads. Great Stuff.
Wow. This compilation instantly painted my fingernails black as a void. I didn't realize I was a goth and thanks for introducing me to such amazing artists!
If you want an interesting album for background listen, try Nirguna "Convergence"
That comment about instantly painting your fingernails black was freaking epic!
@@gamesturbator Mine was less epic, but still try the album I recommended above and your brain will paint yourself with a variety of wild colors. Can be black, I don't discriminate xd
Excellent
Good selection! I seriously recommend my music, I'm with 8k listeners right now but this is only the beginning...cheers!
Saw Kontravoid open for C-Tec back in 2018. Fun times
This is really nice. And I've never heard any of this.
50 and I remember, my last belt hole, still nostalgic for the buckle.
This is an extremely well curated song list.

@@UndeadAbomination thank you, I will definitely check it out.
The Black Capes, The Midnight Computers, The Sisters of Mercy (1rst album Remastered), and Tapping The Vein
ironically i only knew the last two "bonus" bands
Glad to see my friends band in the top 10 still.
cool what band
does 69 eyes (the Helsinki Vampires count? Paris Kills is an amazing goth-rock album and probably their best for that era after which they became more hard rock.. I am sorry but I don't know any of the artists but music sounds damn fine to me (reminds me good 80s bands and its feels like home really!! ) .... from a metal head! I couldn't change the channel ... awesome music and relaxing for some weird reason..
VVV - great new for me!
So I clicked on this knowing Kalaen Mikla, spelling?!?, and 2 seconds into the first song, Lebanon Hannover - Gallows! Sadness is Rebellion! 🖤🤘
Kaelan Mikla, Molchat Doma and Lebanon Hanover prove Goth isn't dead, well maybe it's dead but it's still moving and that's what counts. ;-) Saw Kaelan Mikla for the first time at the Cure's day at Hyde Park and loved them instantly.
Yeah there’s a lot of darkwave and cold wave and Shoegaze but there are still spooky pretty trad goth bands that are new or older making new stuff.
45 ... subbed ... I came form the era of Joy Division, Car Crash international and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry ....
I'm 35 and this" phase" still isn't over. It just evolved. Now i don't have to try at all even when I'm wearing the most normal or preppy clothes i still look goth. I love that when real goths get older they turn into a pink goth. Pink gotg is a original goth (og) who can go to the goth club in whatever even pink and still be the most goth.😂 It surprises me that not allot of ppl know about being or becoming a pink goth.
Holy shit so it's not just me. 🤣 90% of my room is pink or red, I just wear pink bc it's pretty and low-effort
GOTH FOREVER !
Big fan of lots of these bands. On a purely statistical basis, I wonder how dwarfed all of these bands are by the "classic goth" era bands (Bauhaus, Sisters, Cure, etc.)
I think it really is a complex and personal choice. As a fan of Batcave era goth, I really don't like a bunch of electronics bouncing around in my gloom soup. A lot of the current mix of bands I'd more comfortably call dark synth/wave/electro rather than goth. I reckon it'd be hard for any nu-goth bands to unseat the classics. Though to be fair, Bauhaus, despite putting out some certified goth classics, was more into playing whatever they wanted rather than a straight up "goth" band.
Good question 👍. The Cure 16M, The Cult 2.5M, Siouxsie 1.8M, Bauhaus 800K, Sisters 800K, Love & Rockets 338K, DCD 300K, The Mission 184K, Clan of Xymox 170K, Pink Turns Blue 101K, Fields 96K, Sex Gang Children 23K, Virgin Prunes 14K.
@@LuridContent I'm pretty old school i guess, i too prefer the classics and even into second wave the guitars were predominant. Not to say this selection is bad but I'm surprised a goth playlist doesn't feature more stuff along the lines of Nox Novacula, The Ire, The Wraith etc
@@catbwoy Goth without techno (or synth pop) is also my preferred style. Check out this band: ua-cam.com/video/9qSyTb0OyWk/v-deo.htmlsi=ELIaPsC9rwCiyPQ1
@@GothicBop you should do compilations of 80s and 90s goth to get the kiddies to increase those numbers. especially for Nephilim, SGC and Virgin Prunes. They're better than that and should not be forgotten
Is everybody here? Cool music!!! ✌
Reminds me of walking the four blocks from my house to Disneyland back in the day. We used to call it Gothland.
banger list
I keep running across music videos that remind me of The Cure. Just shows how much that band affected the style of a lot of brilliant musician and vice versa.
Great bands I just love them all. I just miss the band Bragolin 😢
