some of my favorite goth/punk/hardcore etc. discussion groups on spacehey

this list will have more of a focus on punk/hardcore, noisy and aggressive music and also places that, at the time of writing are relatively active. 

if i see more i will update this post, and let me know of more that i should add here (including your own!)

groups:

• Make Your Own Noise - Emo, Screamo, Whatever - highly recommend this one. it's small, but it's quite active for how small it is and i really want it to keep taking off. if you're into this kind of stuff you should definitely join.
  
• Real Emo Only Consists of The....... - somewhat similar to the group above but at the moment, a little less active and has more of a post-hardcore and pop-punk focus
  
• GOTH - this group is not really active at the moment. i'm gonna try to post in it a little more to help it along. but the potential is definitely there
  
• Obscure Music - this is more a group just about any type of leftfield/experimental music rather than 'obscure' music, but it's good and manages to span a wider range of genres.
  
• GIRLS TO THE FRONT - riot grrrl group. this one still doesn't have much discussion yet but it's new and active
  
• The Ashtray - a newer group about "authentic and underground 90s grunge, sludge, crust punk, riot grrrl, noise rock, grindcore, powerviolence, stoner, no wave, d-beat/UK82 hardcore punk -- and all things gritty, abrasive and grimy musically". hasn't taken off yet but the potential is there, so perhaps if more people joined it could be a well-curated space
  
• INDUSTRIAL LOVERS - self-explanatory
• slam worldwide - new group about slam metal
  

forum topics: 

• Punk / Hardcore Punk Thread - one of the few actually active topics in this realm that isn't in the "mall emo" realm, plus the recommendations are good
  
• Who all is in a band / is a solo artist?? - some really interesting stuff here plus it's a highly active thread
  
• Experimental/weirdo/noise/outsider vibes? - self-explanatory, active with some great responses
  
• This is a thread for posting some of your favorite albums/tracks. - spans all genres, some great responses here
