<![CDATA[Japanese goth/post-punk general]]>If there's any type of music that has a lot of crossover appeal for VK fans, it's probably these two genres. The early VK bands (those that weren't directly influenced by metal) were definitely influenced by the goings-on in both the western and domestic goth and post-punk scenes. This thread is dedicated to all of Japan's goth and post-punk bands, both old and modern: Madame Edwarda, Auto-Mod, G-Schmitt, Phaidia, Catastrophe Ballet, and so on. Do you have any favorites?

Gonna add a neat modern band here too, tho sadly they already disbanded after one album, lol.

And can't forget the contemporary torchbearers still going strong:

Peak James Chance & The Contortions-style no wave with skronking saxophones and manic energy. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Haven't gotten around to checking out their later material yet, but this is real good stuff.

I always try to throw Gara around in these discussion. I’m into most things that veer into aggressive no-wave while retaining a goth aesthetic

Gara rules!

One of my old favorites:
