My 7 year just found out I was goth and can't get over it but wants to 'listen in' so to speak to the lifestyle.
She just bought her first pair of skull earrings and is very pleased with herself.:)

What websites and music would you neo goths recommend for me to check out for her?
Please take into consideration she is SEVEN.:D

That way, she'll know the genre inside-out and easily identify how these bands influenced the contemporary scene.

I did the same thing with Glam, Metal, Punk, and Rockabilly with my two boys and they're amazing music historians at the tender ages of 10 and 4 years old.
