And let's keep this one goin' as well - it has just as much merit as any "what cookie would you rather be" and "who got laid last night?" thread.

especially who got laid in a witch house and had cookies last night.....

I refuse to call this a genre, I love the music (I actually played White Ring last Wednesday) But all it is is dark washed out trance. or Minimal Synth depending on the artist.

It's usually just darkwave with break beats. The good stuff is at least. I refuse to acknowledge someone slowing down a Top 40 Pop song and making it sound 'dark' as new song, let alone new genre. Stuff like Modern Witch, Os Ovni, and Tearist just sound like minimal-synth to me.

'Witch house' is really interesting as a 'scene'. Mostly because there hardly is one or the one that 'exists' is so confusing. But there are 'witch house club nights' out there. Usually played alongside minimal-synth, darkwave, and experimental industrial stuff. OR. It's played with hip-hop, chillwave and other 'indie' garbage.

I remember seeing a big show in Brookyn posted with White Ring, Mascara, and DJ GODFATHER AND DJ ASSAULT among other DJs on the bill.

So half of the people are well read fans of dark music and have been enjoying goth, deathrock, post-punk, industrial/synth/wave for years and are making something new and current, the other handful seem to be riding that trend and making something dark without having EVER heard anything remotely goth before.

But we can all agree, White Ring is fucking good.

Rename it the "Who did you get laid with while pumpin' some Witch House last night?" thread and it will be sure to never lose steam :whistle:

That, uhm, would be be contingent though on whether or not people got laid to it :unsure:.

It is posts such as yours that make me wish I could plus more than just once :laugh:.

It's like a gothy hipsterness from what I can gather, in my highly unprofessional opinion. Not as a musical genre, but as a scene anyway. Sort of like mainstream + dark = emo bullsh. I give more credit and respect to hipsters though than emo of course.

And everyone here can agree that White Ring is one of the most deliciously decadent Devil's food cakes that your ears have ever consumed (or gtfo! :tongue:) They even have that good 'n' densely sugary kind of frosting, not that bullshit whipped fluffy garbage.

Now that would make for some curious mood music there...;)

I also hate how half the bands dont actually have names, its a bunch of symbols -_-

I do enjoy alot of the stuff though, I play white Ring, Salem and some HEALTH remixes from time to time.

That's something I don't get right there. It's cute when one band does it but more than 2 and you're just contriving scene trappings.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
