Nah, it's a music genre. My boyfriend loves the music, but he doesn't try to pose for it. Admiral, the bands Ulrik listed are all good goth examples, if you want also try to listen to Nosferatu, Dead Can Dance, Alien Sex Fiend, Tones on Tail, The Cranes, Pop Will Eat Itself, Bauhaus. That should keep LimeWire busy for a while

Sorry, but I have to disagree with every cell in my body! Gothic is not a music genre! The mentioned genre are part of what most people tend to call "Gothic". But what you refer as Gothic is much more than a genre.
You can say that these bands and this kind of music is prefered in the Gothic scene, but don't refer to Gothic as just a music genre.

i agree with ulrik.... sure, some music can be referred to as "goth," but goth is hardly simply a music genre.

A (very) small sample of my personal recommendations for industrial artists:

:wumpscut:
vnv nation
apoptygma berzerk
covenant
kmfdm



if anyone is in the Philly or New York areas when I am, let me know! We can go goth clubbing or catch the next drac ball.... hehe..... woohoo!

lol
In that case all I need to do to listen to gothic is search my CDs and find all these bands ;-)

I like rammstein, KFMDM and prodigy -- not all their songs but some :-) ..

so ulrik do u dress up, or live like it ? The people I know in the UK live like it, the piercieings, the clothes, the hair do Its like something out of the 80s, reminds me of punk.

i do i do! lol..... well, dress like it, live like it, and i used to have crimson-red highlighted hair. no piercings for me tho..... this all flies really well at my catholic, abercrombie and fitch-cetric university..... oh well..... we're people too dammit....

i just realized i wasn't asked, but i answered anyway... oh well, it's something to do instead of studying...

tismey - Hey mate. Sounds like you had a ball at the awards with the kisses and all. No wonder you're feeling a bit knackered. Let ME pour you a big mug coffee for once.
I'll have to be honest with you. I have to consciously remember it's tismey and not timsey. I tend to associate the name with an outlandish character form the TV series South Park. Don't be offended.


I'll have to agree with all of you; ulrik, unlearnthetruth, and Jadey. There is a strong subculture that broods around goth but this can be said with most genres of music. There will always be a tendency to label or group music for identity purposes and people need that. Some people are more "in to" the genre than others, but I think it would be correct to say it is a genre and correct to say it's more than that as well.
Could we all agree on that at least?

[unlearnthetruth]

alright, i'll agree to that

i think i'll make myself some coffee, i have a 20 minute walk to class ahead of me, and i'd like to not fall asleep during it... (the walk or the class)

What about all these people who are copyrightprotected? Even a garbageman can think he is a popstar when he keeps paying for everything he makes. It is based on quantity not quality.
