So are New Rocks still the best big stompy goth boots?

I remember 20 years ago all my goth female friends/girlfriends all either had a pair or wanted a pair.

My stepdaughter just turned 13 and is dressing a bit "goth" (much to the horror of her Grandma back in Latvia who is convinced she will join a cult) - she put down a pair of platform boots from Amazon on her Xmas wishlist which are probably going to ruin her feet. I'd rather pay more for the real thing if they are still well made then the knock-offs.

Hopefully with how much they cost she actually likes that style, and isn't just going for a polar opposite look after an older girl at school called her a chav...

Doc martens and Tuks are still very much a thing also!

Nu-Gary is definitely goth in my book, the lyrics get so dark (Little In Vitrio is especially harrowing) and the influences he took from the bands he initially influenced in some sort of ouroborous of bleak definitely work for him.

That, and he built his vocal booth in his garden shed "so I can see if my wife comes home because I'm self-conscious about my singing".

There's a relatively obscure german/latin music project I like called E Nomine that had lots of latin vocals and orchestras and old testament dark biblical epics.

I've been looking for more stuff in that kinda vein. Just listened to Mono Inc for the first time and they're exactly my poo poo. Anything like that you can recommend, goth thread?

You might enjoy QNTAL. It's all traditional German folk music, but rendered symphonically/electronically with a good amount of industrial noise.

Also E Nomine was just the side project of Diary of Dreams, which is also pretty fun music.

I bought her a pair of the white M-Tank New Rocks in the end as they looked closest to the cheapo Amazon ones. She was over the moon with them and wears them everywhere now (much to the annoyance of her dad as she is now slightly taller than him but he can get hosed).

It has also just occured to me that I've spent almost £1000 on New Rock shoes in my life - I bought a pair for myself with my earnings from my job at Subway when I was a teenager, bought a pair for my girlfriend at the time (who broke up with me a week later and sold them straight away) and now a pair for my stepdaughter. Hopefully her little sister doesn't want a pair.

Yoooo thanks so much!! QNTAL is great, instrumentally I think it's the closest thing there is. I had no idea Diary of Dreams existed and I thought I had researched similar bands pretty well years back. I'm so happy to have heard them, it's like E Nomine never went away.

No worries!

Another track you might enjoy is Cantus by Faith and the Muse. That was a pretty typical one to hear on the dancefloor before/after E Nomine, with a lot of the same people dancing to it.

Enough sideburns to last a lifetime.
More of a goth/punk adjacent genre, but I’m heavily into psychobilly these days. Generally see some of the old-school goths at gigs, but it’s not exactly a major thing - usually at punk gigs and harder to push the theatricality elements.

Nekromantix are just a great band.

Yo I'm out of my depth when it comes to anything involving techno, so I figured I might as well ask here since you guys are most likely to have similar tastes. The other day I randomly discovered Kontravoid on YouTube and I really like this sort of vibe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7WsWrVdLds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSb5rWR_IWA

What subgenre is it, and are there more bands like it? I feel like there's a link to the electronic type of goth music that I discovered in this thread, with the menacing undertone, and somehow being understated and energetic at the same time.

And while generally that's more of a synthpunk/indie vibe, maybe a few traces of Digital Leather?

this information has also lead to my learning that the guy who co-wrote More did a lot of work with Meatloaf, who did a cover of it. all right!

fuckin hell, the guy who wrote This Corrosion also wrote I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That). what a career. just now died as it turns out. rip my dude.

Meatloaf got all the credit for their work, but everything he did that wasn't written by Jim Steinman was pretty bad.

I've been in a real Fields of the Nephilim/Rubicon/Last Rites mood, but also can't stop listening to Trentemøller - Complicated. I love Jehnny Beth, and it reminds me of a brief window of time in 2020 that didn't suck and of someone I miss a lot.
