POCs in Goth/Punk/Alternative Music Masterpost

Updates! *03/15* I had originally intended on keeping it short, but due to reader enthusiasm, here is a master version. Each contribution was appreciated, you freaks rock. Please keep in mind that this list does not cover all and every single band with POC, but is here to highlight diversity within alternative genres.



As an addition to the goth/post-punk/alt band masterpost, here’s a list of bands featuring members of color. Most are influential, others new discoveries or future freak gods. Thanks to research and helpful readers, here’s a bit of sick sound suitable for all taste buds:

Goth, dark or industrial:

Punk, hardcore or post-hardcore:

Metal, funk/rap/reggae metal fusion or core:

Alternative or too cool to label:
