Gothic Music: Post-Punk, Darkwave Deathrock and more
Bernd 2022-04-06 01:28:28 ⋅ 1y No. 145141Let's discuss music associated with Gothic subculture. I'm talking about the gloomy side of '80s Post-Punk and New Wave along with Deathrock, Industrial, Neofolk, Darkwave, Coldwave and other genres popular with the kids in black. We can even include Gothic Metal so long as it has obvious influences from those other bands. Stuff like Type O Negative, Saviour Machine, Moonspell, The Gathering, Stillborn or Tiamat are fine whereas Coal Chamber, Marilyn Manson, Within Temptation, Epica, After Forever or Lacuna Coil are not.
As much as dear Siouxsie Sioux actively avoided being termed "Goth" or "Gothic", her influence in music and especially fashion is undeniably significant. Were it not for her, the entire subculture may not have existed in the form we know today. Fascinating how she went from gloomy Post-Punk to gloomy New Wave and Art Pop as time went on. What inspired Siouxsie's sudden change to the Louise Brooks look was growing weary from the scores of fawning teenage goth girls who did everything in their power to emulate her fashion. I imagine it'd get exhausting and downright creepy being surrounded by perfect strangers who'd imitate you down to your underwear if possible:

Equally important was The Sisters of Mercy:

It hardly gets more Goth than Deathrock legends Christian Death, especially with Rozz's sneering vocals:

And, of course, what thread would be complete without The Cure or Bauhaus?

The Mission is a British Goth band formed by Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams after falling out with Andrew Eldritch and leaving The Sisters of Mercy. In a way, they could be considered (if you're uncharitable) a diet version of The Cult in that they started playing Gothic music that had an edge and would later transition to radio-friendly Hard Rock without going Grunge or Glam. Goth purists would hate them for being sell outs while Hard Rock enthusiasts would probably consider them too wussy especially when compared to Mötley Crüe, W.A.S.P., Dokken or Skid Row. Critics panned The Mission for their kitsch, melodramatic lyrics that even sound vaguely homoerotic to me, but fuck me, that groovy bassline on "Wasteland" and haunting arrangements on "Severina" are infectious. Perhaps the most damning criticism pointed to the band's relentlessly somber brand of overly flowery doomed romanticism, and yeah, the lyrics on "Love Me to Death" are about as subtle as a brick in the face, but again, they sure know how to put on a show in the studio.

Here are some argie songs that i managed to find on my free time. They are always small indie groups as niche genres like darkwave and goth didn't really reach into the mainstream, adding in the almost constant like economic crisis that Argentina suffers, it's no wonder why it remains an untouched genre here.
