That's kinda lovelycore to me.

I've never heard the term "sadcore" before.... the bands mentioned were lumped into the "shoegaze" genre before some went the way of "britpop" <shudder>

 

Where the very late 80's met the promise of the 90's!

 

Brad - 20th Century. Infectious groove.

 

U2 - Numb

Depeche Mode - I Feel You

The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

 

I know, "sadcore" is a bit of a silly term ... more often used is "slowcore". I somehow like both of them, prefering "sadcore" because for me the mood is more important than the tempo. Anyway, I really like your modification "lovelycore", it's brilliant

 

the energy in this is just colossal

 

Invisible Limits - Golden Dreams German Band, still existing today, great singer Marion Küchenmeister.

Invisible Limits - Love Will Tear Us Apart (great cover version)

The 69 Eyes - Framed In Blood (live at Tavastia)
goth'n roll at it's best

Deine Lakaien - Dark Star (Forest Enter Exit Tour 1993 German Band)

Pop Will Eat Itself - Ich Bin Ein Ausländer

A very 90's video, but a great tune and still very reflective of the times we're living in.

And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?
Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives?
Trampled under foot by the rise on the right

Ich bin ein Ausländer

While not that well known anymore, what members of this band have done since then is most likely more well known (if not by name, then by the music) for sure. Everybody has heard Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna" off Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, since it has been used absolutely everywhere for instance.

 

Don't know why VS didn't go on to be huge but maybe it's for the best.

 

If you remember the 90's, you weren't really there.

 

Erasure - Always

The Cranberries - Linger

Beverley Craven - Promise Me

 

this is the vacation jam right here, love this music video too which is rare for me

 

Jane's Addiction, Ritual de lo Habitual

Blind Melon, Soup



Ministry - A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
