[kj] When Goths Cry...

[ade]

And so begins the debate !

Death Rock / Goth - is it actually possible to clarify this one, other than mumbling "erm, similar-ish" ?

I love SOME elements of goth, such as Bauhaus, Banshees, some Sisters, mighty Nephs, March Violets. But I'm a big post-punk fan & there's that period when the cross-over was so great between those genres that you can hardly pin the bands down to any particular sound.

I think when I listened to that Cleopatra tribute album (here it fucking well is: http://www.amazon.com/Passion-Covers-Tribute-Bauhaus/dp/B000001JU6 - gotta puke at the reviews - gas them like badgers), with all those AWFUL covers, which are truly SHITE, I realised that I was only really interested in the earlier bands, for their inventiveness I expect.

have to pipe up and ask...for the sake of curiousity... what of the
likes of UK Decay...?
to my feeble knowledge, these guys and perhaps others like them (?)
were doing what i had heard to be called 'positive punk' ... which
then kinda turned into the whole goth thing...

and to be fair, goth WAS admirable for a while! maybe not the abuse of
make-up, but the simplistic style and creative difference i always
thought was a good cousin to the whole punk thing.

turned to shit obviously
