Meh, is it just me or does no one here listen to the real goth music. No I am not talking about Slipknot [rapcore] or Goth Metal music. I am talking about the real stuff including The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, you name yours. It's really like.... the older Halloween music you've heard actually. Techno flair here and there, morbid vocals. I guess you can say.... Marilyn Manson is partially a branch of that.

I don't like labeling. I mean, yeah, i listen to Marilyn but I'm by no means "goth"

I'm sure people still listen to all of those things.... So, I dunno

I'm sure people still do, I'm just wondering if people from createBlog ever have heard of some of these bands, or am I just alone in my favor of music lol.

While goth music is not really my thing, I have heard of Siouxsie and the Banshees (Jigsaw Feeling is one of the songs I am familiar with) and The Cure because my roomate is really into goth music.

Oo, how interesting, do you know anymore of their collections?

Im so confused witht his whole genre crap . metal , hard core metal , etc etc. Its all so confusing 0_o

But No , I dont listen to any type of goth music , not into it.

I had to run to my roomates room to grab her some cds:
Siouxsie And The Banshees:
-THE SCREAM (This one I am most familiar with)
-KALEIDOSCOPE
-THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
-PEEPSHOW

I listen to Marilyn Manson...
but that's basically it for the 'real' goth music

...since when is the cure gothic?

thats what i was about to ask

I second that. Hmm. The only "gothic" band I would say I listen to/heard of is Crux Shadows. They were here last year...mmm other than that, I don't really like the techno/goth genre.

The Cure = goth music? umm...no lol but the only "gothic" music I listen to would be The Birthday Massacre, Deadsy, & Vanity Beach.

meh...i dont know much about goth music (i'm mostly into hip hop and r&b)..my roomate says it was(then again my roomate is crazy. )

the last thing we need is another genre of music.

Yeah, but think about how many different people there are on Earth - not everyone's alike. We all have our different tastes in music.

The Cure, their older stuff is mucho "gothic" compared to their newer stuff.... I don't know if you guys have heard their older stuff.

And Kathleen's sister x], that's... not under the category of gothic music lol. It's more of an industrial mix of metal.... perhaps.

Compared to today's society (and it's horrible miscontrued and naive 'definitation'/'genre'/whatever), labeling The Cure "goth," is far-fetched.

why do all these people label themselves goth anyway? goths were an old tribe from scandinavia that died out a long time ago. so there really is no such thing as "goth" music

indeed they were sped monkey, but i haven't noticed anyone that labels themselves goth.

are you labeling them goth because of how they sound? or how they look?

and how does goth music sound like anyways?

well u are techinically labeling these artists goths because they produce "goth" music

It is not I who is labeling them. It is a GENRE. I do not come up with these genres SpedMonkee.

If someone to ask you if you like pop music or rap music, it would be the same thing as I am asking right now. All because it is less known does not mean I am making it up off of the top of my head.

god don't you people know I have a name? it's Stephanie jeezus. anywho...I guess it is more industrial but whatever all I know is that it's good. =]

=D haha, Stephanie!!

[P.S. I heard you talking to Kathleen when she was micing me that time about a used sweater and you guys were arguing xD]

im not into goth, or any rock music for that matter

i dont really label anything. sooo music is music. yup =P

Real goth music....hmmm....I listen to the Sisters of Mercy, Bella Morte, The Cruxshadows, The Smiths, Morrissey, The Cure, Jack Off Jill, Type O Negative, Voltaire, Wolfsheim, Depeche Mode, Covenant of Thorns, Killing Miranda, Halo in Reverse, To/Die/For, The 69 Eyes, Nine Inch Nails, Manson.....I love goth music...I haven't heard much Siouxsie and the Banshees but some of my friends are into them and they have been telling me to check them out forever. I just haven't really heard anything that really grabbed me. The same goes for Bauhaus, Peter Murphy, and some other old school goth bands....

PS- Genre labeling sucks, but eh, it has a purpose.....organisation....

PPS- Goth is an attitude and a style. It also a very broad genre of music. I think that all of the bands I listed above are goth and that their music is goth. You can argue, but I don't really think that anyone on this board was around when goth music was in it's prime and "truest" form. Everything changes over time, esp. music. Synths may have changed the way that modern goth music sounds, but to me, synths or no synths, it's still goth music.

ive never heard of "goth" music...


my first day ever hearing of this genre... i guess i learn something new every day.

Just from observations over the last year of being a member it seems most the people here are into hip hop and soft types of rock.

Skinny Puppy.

That's as "down to the core" as you can get.

my gothic taste would be cradle of filth, dimmu borgir, type O negative, moonspell, rasputina, switchblade symphony. maybe more.

Real gothic music eh?

Skinny Puppy, OhGr, Cradle of Filth, BlutEngel, Black Death for a Blue Girl, Orgy, Funker Vogt, Girls Under Glass, Razed in Black, Apoptygma Berzerk.

Orgy, The Birthday Massacre, Skinny Puppy and Jack off Jill and The Dresden Dolls but I don't know if that counts as goth.

marilyn manson is the closes to dark music. the reason i said dark music is because mari is not gothic. hes mine!

I tried listening to some goth music one time at the AOL Radio thingy. It was alright, I guess, but it isn't really my kind of music.


Goth and rock music aren't the same thing. Goth music isn't considered a kind of rock music.

I normally don't stereotype them as "Goth", so yeah. Either Heavy Metal, Industrail Rock, etc etc. -_- other than that, I don't really listen to any (Unless you consider some J-rock as rather goth-esque)

I loveee My Chemical Romance-------- Mickey Way is sooo dreamy!! i love the bassist

You're a moron.

Oh my god. MCR is not goth. I hate people like you. I hope you die. Also, Jordan is going to have a fit when he sees you said that.



You took the words right out of my mouth.

1) I don't label myself a goth. I label myself weird. Other people call it goth.
2) I never heard of Goth music. I like the vampiric songs (think Queen of the Damned soundtrack) but I never thought to call that Goth. I never thought of Manson as a branch of Goth either, but I love his music so *shrug*. Beyond that I listen to Metal (er..starting to anyway)


Mari!?!?

Skinny Puppy is awesome. I'm more of an OhGr fan myself, I didn't put them on my list cuz I consider them to be more industrial than gothic music. Cradle of Filth is good too, also didn't make my list due to my considering them to be more metal than goth. Orgy...don't know why I didn't include them *shrug*. Razed In Black is awesome, there's some vampire club music right there. Apop. is all right, I have heard lots of their stuff but never really got into them.

What about VNV Nation, Nitzer Ebb, Zeromancer, Ministry and Laibach???

i listen to siousxie and the banshees, and joy division.

I include industrial music into the whole gothic genre. I like OhGr better as well.
I didn't add VNV Nation and Zeromancer because I was trying to keep the list down to a bare minimum. Otherwise, it would be extrememly long.

Okay no, what the fcuk. This just proves my point that the majority of thier fan base (as well as Green Day's) consists of a bunch of teenage girls thinking the band is hot, and only listens to them because of that. You failed to get his name, right too. Poor Mikey.

Back on topic...

Why wouldn't you label music? They're called categories...

*sits and waits patiently*



LMAO.

I love you Kathleen.



You took my response.

Haha yeah...what can I say. Saving the world one post at a time.

Eghhem.

(with your trusted sidekick, Ariel-man)

Okay okay James. You will be the first criminal we defeated. The first. If thats not recognition, I don't know what is.
