Frankly the large percentage of the whole "Goth" music was just boring. Yes, it got to the point where even Joy Division were lumped in that silly genre. I'm not sure if the Danse Society were Goth either (they claimed they didn't start it) but at least they were actually excellent musicians compared to the no-talents within the same scene. Christian Death were more punks than Goths when they started out...
There seemed to be two kinds of Goth -- cheesy "eyeballs-in-the-punchbowl" Goth, or "I'm gonna steal from the last long-haired book I read this week" Goth...
