Dissensus Gothic

[sufi]

I think its time.
Goth has always been a quiet undercurrent here and everywhere, which nobody dared express,
now it feels like it all makes sense: the overblown symbolics, pseudohierophancy and mysticism, the haunticles and the brooding, these grim tory times

the terrible music obvs has been a big obstacle to openness on this topic - all that pompous Herts nephilim dross. guitars often seem like the albatross that held all these psychonauts down when all they really wanted was some sort wild trippy cacophony to soundtrack the cosplay and act out their romantic neo-tolkienist anti-modern modernisms

but gothic has always been above all A STYLE
a style 4ad for example achieved without excessive cringe and gothic would shed amazing breakaway excursions into screaming psychedelia drone and ambient and futurism as much as it loved to wallow in nostalgic, orcish arabesque and cod victoriana

goth is back, goth never even went away, time to come clean? fill in the gaps

pro-zombie violence and radical negativity

eden to his credit has never disavowed gothism

Goth is invented early 90s by DJ Muggs then it moves to the east coast and really finds its feet with mobb deep and wu tang clan

That's brilliant, never heard it before. I love the sound atmosphere.

Reminds me of this which I also love. Same sort of dusty production and just going round in a circle

the hunger isn't a bad movie on its own merits but the opening scene promises a movie of beautiful vampire lovers bowie and deneuve swooning around in goth clubs biting unsuspecting patrons and then the rest of the movie is set inside a house and bowie is decaying the whole time.

tricky was very goth. Dettol in the basket, next to the stakes. i remember always thinking that was very odd.

Was in my list.

I've not really looked at your list at all. Was over in a day. Will have to go back to it.

There's something about the space in this music, saying it's lo fi feels like the wrong description.

It's more that it's so simple structurally, with very plaintive, emotional vocals, with a lot of bending of tones going on, and a lot of space where you hear the fuzz. Absolutely love it.
