Calling All Goths

[novakru]

I was a goth for awhile when I was younger.
I was the 'dressed all in black, weird hair, listened to Bauhaus' type.
But that was a million years ago, and I barely remember or at least try to forget that period of time.

My 7 year just found out I was goth and can't get over it but wants to 'listen in' so to speak to the lifestyle.
She just bought her first pair of skull earrings and is very pleased with herself.:)

What websites and music would you neo goths recommend for me to check out for her?
Please take into consideration she is SEVEN.:D

The Sisters of Mercy is something I let my 7 yrs olds listen to. Same with Voltaire. Website wise, keep her away from them.

As a dad, I gotta say teach her the classics. She'll find the new stuff on her own or through friends, but if she is taught about Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Souxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, even early Nine Inch Nails.

That way, she'll know the genre inside-out and easily identify how these bands influenced the contemporary scene.

I did the same thing with Glam, Metal, Punk, and Rockabilly with my two boys and they're amazing music historians at the tender ages of 10 and 4 years old.

I think Bauhaus is a bit too dark and gloomy at times for one that age. I am ashamed I forgot to mention the Cure and Joy Division. Souxsie and the Banshees I think is a band to wait til about 10 or 12 though.

Great stuff, thanks guys.

I have most of what's been mentioned here so I guess it's just a matter of scanning for cuss words:D

[mordrid]

All the bands Rodd and I mentioned are profanity free. I cant speak for what Gus suggested.

Didnt he work with Cap 1 of Simken Heights on some stuff? Been a while since Ive listend to horrorcore. Might be mistaken.


So far as goth rock.
HIM, AFI, and Type O Negative are all pretty good bands.
Nightwish and Evemaster are also good. Little more metal than you might want for a seven year old though.
