A little something I’ve been giving thought to. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of music for every single holiday. I know I can spin up a decent goth Christmas playlist. The next closest theme I could possibly structure one around would be 4th of July here in the United States perhaps.

With that in mind I thought it might be interesting to do a community created playlist. Everyone is invited to contribute whether you’re American or not. The only requirements is that it might pertain in some significant way to America or current events in America. Or perhaps just a good solid protest song. As well as being genera apropriate. Goth/punk/postpunk/horrorpunk/industrial/etc. I’ll start of course with knocking out some of the easy ones.

Rammstein - Amerika

London After Midnight - America’s a Fucking Disease

Vision Video - I Love Cats (if you listen you’ll get it lol)

Bad Cop / Bad Cop - Womanarchist

Bad Religeon - American Jesus

    Yeah, that’s a good one!

    I’m thinking that it’s kinda easy to find bad/negative songs which is fine for a while but you don’t want a whole set of that, it’ll get depressing. You kinda want a song that’s like: “things are terrible but we’ll persevere.” I’m having problems thinking of any tho. Anyone got ideas?

      That’s definitely a much harder thing to find. Though worth a try. I will have to dive into my collection. I think there may be some among the synthwave/darkwave. VNV and Apop seem like descent candidates
