Moderator Announcement r/postpunk Rules Update [PLEASE READ]

40 Upvotes

Hi all!

As some of you might've noticed, we've recently tweaked the subreddit rules a bit. We highly recommend you read this to get a good idea of how things will be handled here going forward.

Rule 4

First of all, all music posts now require some form of additional commentary or context. This can be in the form of opinions about the song, memories associated with it, experiences seeing it performed live, trivia, etc. as long as is encourages discussion.  This rule has been in place for a little while now, but we've recently adjusted how we'll be enforcing this. We request that users here include this somewhere on their posts, whether it be in the title, body text, or as a comment on one's own post.

Rule 8

Second, please do not post excessively, and keep to a maximum of three posts per person per day. This helps prevent the sub from being excessively flooded or spammed by a single user.


To cap things off, we've been getting a number of messages via Modmail regarding users having difficulty posting. This is due to an anti-spam filter set up via AutoMod that requires posts from new accounts to be manually reviewed. Don't panic if this happens to you! It doesn't necessarily mean that your post has broken a rule, and the moderators here will have a look at it as soon as we can, although it may take a few hours.

If you run into this issue repeatedly, please contact the moderators via Modmail and we'll help you out. We do try our best to approve users whenever possible.

Question What are goth songs made by non-goth bands?

Post image
112 Upvotes

I'm not talking about new wave or victorian music, I'm talking about goth songs made by artists that have nothing to do with the scene.

Paint it black sounds 100% like a song that could have been made by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Another song that I love is People are strange by The Doors, it sounds made for halloween! Not long ago I read someone saying Like a prayer by Madonna was a song that used to be played at clubs in the 80's, and I see the vision. Does anyone have recommendations?

Discussion Where do you get your news from for local or new artist?

5 Upvotes

I used to get my music news either from Brooklyn Vegan or straight from the source. Now that BV is hardly active I feel like I’m in a desert when it comes to music news. What’s everyone source of information on new and emerging artists? I don’t like Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound, Rolling Stone, ect.

Question Post-punk band with an album cover of a burning wind turbine.

2 Upvotes

I remember a small band, like sub 500 monthly listeners on Spotify that had a striking album cover. It was a grainy photography of a burning wind turbine. They released the album sometime around 2018-2020 I believe.

I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find them. Does anyone remember this band?

I made this playlist for autumn, it’s not entirely post-punk, but there’s post punk on there, and I feel like some of you will like the vibe

I’m a real person, I’m not getting paid for the playlist somehow, just spent a fair amount of time on it and wanted to share. I do really like how the post-punk tracks I picked blend with everything else. Overall I just love this time of year and wanted something that catches the vibe without being cartoonish.
