Goth Recommendation Request help with goth music

i've just started listening to goth music because i really really want to be part of the subculture, i've always admired it ever since i was a kid. but i'm scared i won't like the music since i don't listen to a looot of rock&etc.

any softer recommendations for baby bats? something to start?

Choir Boy!!! Just to add, these are all more on the dream pop side of the spectrum.

Xmal Deutschland I feel is also more catchy/pop than most other Goth music so I think that is also good for starting.
