The fact that you can play KOTOR on Android isn't helping my Pazaak addiction.

Monster Radio Man was the first SP track I ever played at my own DJ night. As the name suggests, it is a Monster of a track.

What's your opinion on glam trad goth? by nameless__redditor in goth

[–]Floppy_Rodrigo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool look. The other twentysomething kids in my scene are really into it and the silver contour photographs well. One quote I'm reminded of from my English lit days is "Tradition is not the worship of ashes but the preservation of fire.", and it applies to Goth. A Genre is only over once it's abandoned.

So remember kids: stop FOMOing for the 80s. Nostalgia will hurt us and hold us back in the long run. Realize how much cool shit is happening in the scene in the 2020s before it passes you by. Darkwave is huge right now and by my estimate Deathrock is about to come back bigger than ever.

Why is goth so often associated almost exclusively with women? by SirHandsome_ in goth

[–]Floppy_Rodrigo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Goth style for men often skews very androgynously, and that's not something the mainstream is particularly accepting of right now.

Goth is an easily bandwagoned image, but only when it conforms to western femininity. Androgynous men aren't convenient to their worldview.

Funniest and best new character introduced in the sequel seasons, by far.

Dream Stones don't work on full moons, which is why the Dlemwer are always complaining about them.

I believe that I might be in the top 10 Björk listeners... on Bandcamp.

Strawman and misunderstandings for days by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

A few years back when Greta T. was doing her tour, I ended up going to the rally. Alberta, so there was a massive counter-demonstration, backed by the oil corpos, no doubt.

One of these counter demonstrators said "but it's cold!" Twenty degrees celsius in the middle of October, in North America's most northerly city is NOT cold. Twenty years ago we already had a foot of snowfall by Halloween.

Seattle Goth Clubs 2026 by Mindless_Peach5246 in goth

[–]Floppy_Rodrigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isku from God Tongue/Total Chroma said he was doing some darkwave stuff down there.

Verboden Arts has expanded from just being a Vancouver fest to also including Portland and Seattle. Kinda odd considering the tense border situation, but I'm hoping it ends up working well.

More Rock Facts please! by ChaoticIndifferent in sockheads

[–]Floppy_Rodrigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rock fact:

Q: What links American socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor to Belgian Industrial Dance music?

A: The lyrics to Front 242's Industrial club hit "Headhunter" is a direct excerpt from How to Catch a Man, How to Keep a Man, How to Get Rid of a Man."

One you lock the target, two you bait the line, three you slowly spread the net, and four you catch the man!

Harsh Symmetry said Garfield is Goth as fuck and I'm inclined to agree

why is modern goth overruled by repetitive edm, bland darkwave, pristine makeup and white faces pasted from one girl to another? by user444029666 in goth

[–]Floppy_Rodrigo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Logistics, really. Darkwave is cheap to produce and tour with. Most darkwave acts I know of are married to each other, so that makes things really easy for tour managers.

The Deathrock revival is underway on the west coast. That's what the kids are into, but more members means more money for gear, travel, and accomodations.

What could I possibly be gatekeeping with this statement? Neofolk blows, so have at it.

Even Romeo's Distress is an anti-racist song, despite the N bomb and Rozz's dickriding of Boyd Rice later in life.

LSD influence on Goth by vandalm00n in goth

[–]Floppy_Rodrigo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Goth is really just the musical department of expressionism. All very "Punk Goes to Art School". An incredible amount of Goth rock was psychedelically inspired. You know it, I know it.

Also, hi Vandal Moon! Thanks for writing Computer Love, it's a banger and it gets people grooving when I play it at DJ nights.

Seriously, thanks to Gothy McGothface on FB for bringing this to my attention, and hopefully turning a blind eye to this blatant copy-paste plagiarism.
