Step into the shadows with "actual goth music," a playlist that weaves together classic gothic rock and darkwave tracks to create a haunting atmosphere. Kick things off with the ethereal sounds of Cocteau Twins' "Persephone" and delve deeper with the brooding notes of Echo & the Bunnymen's "The Killing Moon." Bauhaus, a staple of the genre, makes multiple appearances with tracks like "The Passion of Lovers" and "Bela Lugosi's Dead," setting a tone that is unmistakably goth.

This playlist also showcases the darker edges of post-punk, including the dissonant vibes of Joy Division's "She's Lost Control" and the melancholic "Transmission." Christian Death's "Cavity - First Communion" and "Deathwish" offer a deeper dive into the macabre, while Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Monitor" and "Candyman" provide the perfect gothic undertones. Complete the experience with iconic tracks like "Lucretia My Reflection" by Sisters of Mercy and Clan of Xymox’s "Medusa," ensuring that the haunting melodies linger long after the music stops.
