Today is, of course, #WorldGothDay ! As a former goth (and successful graduate of the #Goth2Boss program), I like to celebrate each year by posting some of my favorite goth tracks. And then delete the entire thread and pretend like this never happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N1M7Kwl81A">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Where else to begin but at the beginning - Joy Division in 1976 paved the way for everything to come later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnWPGSQjFUc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
It wouldn& #39;t be #WorldGothDay without The Sisters of Mercy. In addition to being one of the most well-known goth bands, they& #39;re also a DJ& #39;s best friend as their tracks are long enough for a trip to the bar for a whisky sour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-RVJyNpfDk">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
I have to mention at this point my hometown goth band, Bella Morte. They started our local goth night and gave all of us wayward misfits a place to call home. #WorldGothDay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yA4zUSJ2Tc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
I have seen them play dozens of times, standing in the front row at every show. They& #39;ve been good friends, neighbors, roommates, and more over the years. Just before I moved away they had a show and invited me up on stage to introduce my favorite song and join them one last time.
Getting to the end of the afternoon here on #WorldGothDay on the east coast. Industrial music doesn& #39;t technically count as goth, but the scenes overlapped heavily. Most people know industrial via Nine Inch Nails, but my favorite was always KMFDM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp-z0QJefIY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
In The Nursery is one of those hidden gems, and one of my all-time favorites. It& #39;s not danceable, but delicious to listen to on a rainy day like today. Here& #39;s the first track off my favorite album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNJQwOhpDX4">https://www.youtube.com/watch... #WorldGothDay
End of the road here for #WorldGothDay so I& #39;ll close with the gothest song to ever goth, a song so goth that Black 3.0 looks like khaki Dockers by comparison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRJfIPiJGY&app=desktop">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
And I& #39;m out. This thread will disappear in the morning sun, like a true creature of the night.
