WHAT IS GOTH MUSIC
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2004 4:43 pm
according to the electronic music guide this is whoat goth music is:
"GOTH
aka goth rock, trad goth
tedchnically not electronic music, unless you count its giddy use of sound-enrichment studio techniques to give those wailing choruses that extra level of self-deprication and despair. goths are not happy people. in fact, next to emo kids they are just about the most self-centered, whiny bunch of neo-narcissists on the face of the earth (if you are wondering what the difference is: classic narcissists go around telling everybody how awesome they are, while neo-narcissists go around telling everyone how awful they are). This doesn't mean you should hate the music. far from it, its actually quite snappy and fun. just dont take it too seriously. they style is fine, but there are more colors in the world than black, y'know."
examples they give of goth:
danse society - heaven is waiting
bauhaus - dancing
sisters of mercy - this corrosion
