What is Goth, REALLY?
Aug 01, 2005, 04:34
I submit The Cure were not Goth. Goth adopted them. they were just unlucky. Even Bauhaus weren't goth in the beginning (they were around too early) Just second-rate glam.

The Mission etc. were just crap, lets face it. The musical equivalent of, er, snakebite & black. (ie semmed like a good idea at the time, cheap & nasty & left one feeling sick as a feckin dog the next morning....)

But then there was the 4AD stuff (Cocteaus, Dead Can Dance, etc), some good Euro stuff (Minimal Compact etc) which many considered 'Goth'.

For my money it's a term that's banded around too easily these days - unfairly for many as it means nothing but offence in my eyes.....
