Goth Fashion Wouldn’t Exist Without The Music

I think it’s safe to say we all know Goth fashion wouldn’t exist without the music that inspired us to dress in our favorite dark ensembles. Here are a few of my favorite bands geared around the goth rock scene as well as a song from each of them that warms my weary little heart. 

By Dead Posey

 

#1 - Type O Negative

Song Title: I Don’t Wanna Be Me

I gravitate towards this song because I instantly get a sense of not feeling alone - we’ve all felt like we didn’t want to be here anymore at one time or another hence the “I Don’t Wanna Be Me” title. The cherry on top for me when it comes to Type O Negative is their nickname The Drab Four. The name came due to their lyrical themes of depression, death & romance. I too feed from that same bloody vein when writing my own lyrics for Dead Posey so I feel a kinship that goes beyond the grave.

 

#2 - Bauhaus

Song Title: Bela Lugosi’s Dead

As this might be an obvious choice to some, if you haven’t heard this song go listen to it and come back after. A song that is inspired by watching iconic vampire films is bound to steal my soul. The way this song lures you in from the second it starts is hypnotizing, to say the least. Can’t go wrong either with a song title named after the actor who played the original Dracula.

 

#3 - The Sisters Of Mercy

Song Title: Lucretia My Reflection

Andrew Eldritch has the voice of a real-life vampire and I couldn’t be more pleased. When it comes to vocals it’s all about the character in the voice for me. You can train for a perfect voice but you either have character or you don’t. This song will forever make me long to drive all night with the windows down in a murdered-out Lincoln Continental.

 

In conclusion I was inspired to curated this look "Bela Lugosi's Dead" for you. Hope you enjoy darling and till next time, cheers to being part of The Midnight Vamp Cult.
