    When I think of Goth, I think of dark music and dark art. Industrial falls into the dark music. I’d like to keep it this way, as long as the other mods are ok with that. Can I change the sidebar and banner? With the other mods input, of course.

      Yes the only partition I tend to make is for Gothic metal. Not just because I’m not super fond of the genre. Though I absolutely love me some 69 eyes and the Birthday Massacre has gone a lot more darkwave in recent years. Though they were much more nu metal anyways. Nightwish or Ghost etc.

      But also because they tend to have their own fairly active communities and a slightly different aesthetic. It’s not a hard partition however. Like I said inclusive LOL.

        I am not a fan of Ghost and Sleep token. Others may like it though. Maybe the baby bat’s like that kind of thing.

          Ghost is a very specific thing more just like a couple tracks with them hit right for me. I hear a lot of people talking about sleep token. OK well I heard Jack Packard mention it in a P stream a while back. But not listened. So much other stuff to listen to. But yeah I definitely think it’s a few of the younger ones. Along with pastel goth etc.

            I keep trying to get into Ghost and it just doesn’t click, it bums me out a little because I want to like them. Their image is so awesome.

              Don’t feel bad I definitely bounce off of most of their stuff as well. A lot of it just isn’t for me. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

      Yeah, you should be able to change the sidebar and banner, the other mods will know how.

      When I think of Goth, I think of dark music and dark art. Industrial falls into the dark music.

      There are a couple different ways of thinking about it. What you’re describing reminds me that I’ve heard that in Europe they talk about “dark culture”, as in:

      Dark culture … is a mixture of thematically related subcultures including the goth and dark wave subculture, the dark neoclassical/dark ambient scene, parts of the post-industrial scene (with the genres electro-industrial, EBM, aggrotech and dark electro) parts of neofolk and the early gothic metal scene.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_culture

      Personally one of the things I like about !gothindustrial@lemmy.world is that it’s advertised as being fairly open-ended.
