PLEASE BOOST.
Hi Fediverse! I'm 46, and am just starting out on my goth journey(you're never too old to start a new thing-don't let anyone convince you otherwise😉). Looking for some recommendations for goth bands to listen to, and figured here was a great place to ask! Please comment your faves below. Thanks in advance😁

RUE OBERKAMPF is a genre-defying band that blends darkwave, electronic music, and a haunting aesthetic, captivating audiences worldwide. Their music is a journey into the depths of sound and emotion, drawing inspiration from the darker sides of life and art. With a loyal fanbase in the goth scene, they continue to push boundaries with each new release.
@BowieSpace Welcome to the dark side – we have cookies. ;)
I like old EBM like pre-2000 Skinny Puppy or Die Form. But also the New Wave / Dark Wave classics like Pink turns Blue etc.

My flavor of goth
invent / animate
Deftones
Videogame soundtracks
(Especially fantasy games)
@BowieSpace Other folks have recommended a lot of the classics, but if you want to hear the current stuff I recommend the Communion After Dark podcast.
Communion After Dark is hosted weekly by DJ Paradise (Absolution Fest), DJ Winters (Weekly Winters), and DJ Gold (resident DJ at The Castle). Running for over 17 years, Communion After Dark is recognized by many artists and labels as the leading dark podcast. We highlight new music in the scene and upload new shows each week.
@BowieSpace everything from Fabrika Records is good. Selofan, Lebanon Hanover, Qual, Kaelan Mikla.
Som other recomendations: Casket Cassette,Twin Tribes, Night in Athens
@BowieSpace
I tend to like more upbeat Goth music - my favorites are:
The Sisters of Mercy - favorite album is First and Last and Always.
The Cult
Siouxie and The Banshees
The Mission
@BowieSpace Nice ! Please lend an hear to 2 bands from home :
・Collection d'Arnell~Andréa https://www.discogs.com/artist/188889-Collection-DArnell-Andrea
・Rosa Crux https://www.discogs.com/artist/146647-Rosa-Crux
Some of my best and most memorable live experiences (Rosa Crux is something else ! )
8 track album
@BowieSpace there is so much to explore!
Bauhaus, Siouxie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Christian Death, Clan of Xymox, some of the Cure albums are goth-ish like Disintegration. Fields of the Nephilim, Dead Can Dance.
@BowieSpace
I'll hold off on posting a long list of band names, because, as you may already have seen from some of the replies here, a lot of very different musical subgenres can be called 'Goth', or played out at Goth clubs or on Goth playlists, streams, etc.
In some groups of Goth people (for example, at a club night or with DJs after a live event) some of the 'Goth' music that gets played will be loved by some of the people and hated by the others. And vice versa, 5 minutes later.

Some of the weekly clubs go to the effort of posting their past playlists online:
http://www.deathguild.com/playlist/
That club is in San Francisco, but the music played at it comes from all over the world, and across time.
"Both rooms play a mix of" [lists 7 subgenres]

@BowieSpace here is my playlist of many #goth-adjacent albums on Bandcamp:
@BowieSpace Bauhaus is really great.
From new artists, I enjoyed Mareux

Boy Harsher
https://boyharsher.bandcamp.com/track/lust-2
Linea Aspera

Keluar (same singer as Linea Aspera)
https://keluar.bandcamp.com/track/instinct

@SimonLandmine @BowieSpace
The "Leeds Guitar Goth" sound spawned a lot of soundalikes, not all of them from Leeds. One band that really stood out musically was Cristabelle Children from Cardiff (Wales). Their name is sometimes misspelt as "Christabelle's Children".
This is one of their strongest songs, from a 1990 vinyl EP that they recorded in London:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YMytglJVSW4
They toured the UK with Christian Death.
It's a pity they weren't more successful.
1980 to 1983 Quiet Room started out playing shows in San fracisco with The Sleepers, Romeo Void, Half Church, Group 87. Soon we shared the bill with Duran Duran, REM, Echo and the Bunny Men, Gang of Four, The Fall and The Stranglers just to name a few. The show with Duran Duran at the Ibeam was on their first trip to the US https://www.facebook.com/quietroom1980
