Welcome to the Goth Music Share Group! Please
READ THE RULES before posting!
This group in inspired by the Goth Music Share Community on Live Journal. The purpose of this group is to help people to rediscover old favorites, and find new delights in the realm of
goth, post-punk, "oddball wave" bands, and
deathrock. By the way, we also enjoy
old school punk, oi!, street punk, gothabilly, psychobilly, synth punk, electropunk, mutant wave, new wave (think Tovey, peace be upon him),
experimental,
ambient, and
glam (but not the 80s hair metal version). Bands on Myspace that play any of the aforementioned genres should join and post their music.
I am sorry but this group is a private group and
you must make a request to join. You cannot join unless you show a legitimate interest in real Goth music or genuine Goth subculture.
To clarify for those who may not know:
What is not Goth: HIM, AFI, 69 Eyes, Lacuna Coil, Moonspell, Nightwish, Voltaire ("Bubblegum Goth" to some), Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, Slipknot, Korn, Emilie Autumn, etc.
What is not Industrial: Aryia, Emilie Autumn, MSI, NIN, Suicide Commando, Ministry, Zeromancer, Project Pitchfork, :wumpscut:, Orgy, OhGr, Oomph!, KMFDM, Rammstein, Stabbing Westward, Marilyn Manson, etc.
Also don't bother posting: Most EBM groups like God Module as they have no place here; the only EBM allowed are classic bands or groups that are in DAF or Tommi Stumpff territory. There will be
no elektro-industrial, no metal, no future pop, and no Vampirefreaks/ Metropolis Records music here! Goth is not about rave music!
