What music plays in a Goth club? Is the Cure to 80s? Help me! I'm 37 and totally square.

Nightwish is a good choice. Or..... hmm. Hold on. Gothica. My Chemical Romance if you want mainstream. But for what YOU are writing, I think Nightwish is a great choice. Also, Evanansence. Edenbridge. Epica. Heh. The E's are in abundance.

Last one I went to they played mostly Metal

If you are brave and wish to immerse a bit, here's TEN MINUTES of Nightwish: Ghost Love Score

I'm giving you ideas that might lean more towards a vamp-friendly club, btw.

Yeah. But Jack won't know any Nightwish. *whines* Will listen at the office tomorrow. Before arrival of Cellmate. :)

[muck-a-luck.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

[cocoajava.livejournal.com]

Hee. So you want stuff Jack would know? That's gonna be TRICKY. He's an old man!

*flees*

Must sleep now. CAn plot more in zee morning!

I figure *everybody* knows the Cure. Will listen to Nightwish. He can be descriptive of the music from his POV, perhaps learn from Miranda that it is Nightwish later.

Goths do still listen to the cure, but they've also moved on to modern stuff:

ABNEY PARK, for instance. *waves to CJ*

(all links to videos, not anything pirate-y. Which after your comment the other day, I realized I haven't linked anything donwloadable in about 6 months, it always goes to youtube or something like it. Not sure why).

Ha! Good point! *points and laughs at CJ*

That was *incredibly* helpful. Thank you! I pulled them all up, plus I think I'll hunt up the lyrics later.

RE: videos. Again, another me thing. I almost never click them. This is more a situation of it never being the right time to have the sound on and watch the screen and pay attention. Gah, my friend Jules wants to strangle me. She sends me clips. Sends them to ME. Directly. And it just infuriates her that I don't watch them. I try to explain that I just never have the right time for that, but people don't understand. The thing about this project is that I just wanted an impression of the music, which is something that I *can* do at the office. Click the thing, let it play in the background. If I need specifics, I can go look up the lyrics. But most of the time, people want you to, you know, WATCH the video... Anyway...

Try Nine Inch Nails. 'The Downward Spiral' was 1994 and 'Closer' gets played quite often, but there have been another couple of albums since then, one of them...um, 2006? So he might be like 'oh, familiar' without quite pegging why. Marilyn Manson turns up occasionally too, and he's had his music on a car advert and in the Matrix so he might do.

(hee, I'm hoping that your friendslist won't smite me 'proper' goths don't like Marilyn Manson, or so I'm told *g* edited to add But, I reckon, vaguely metal/goth/rock will be fine, most clubs I've been to aren't that specialist)
