The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture found in many countries. It began in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the Post-punk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from nineteenth century Gothic literature along with horror films and to a lesser extent the BDSM culture. The goth subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and fashion, whether or not all individuals who share those tastes are in fact members of the goth subculture. Gothic music encompasses a number of different styles. Styles of dress within the subculture range from deathrock, punk, androgynous, Victorian, some Renaissance and Medieval style attire, or combinations of the above, most often with black attire, makeup and hair.

I expected symphonic metal, deathcore and black metal but what I found in certain communities online are Industrial, EBM and synth rock bands. They even ripped off the 'dark' look - and call themselves CyberGoth? (e.g Zeromancer, The Birthday Massacre). It's just...I thought those are in separate worlds. What, exactly, is happening here? Is this just like the early 00's where Emos consider themselves 'punk'? Encroachment or genre fusion? I listen to 16volt, Rob Zombie and KMFDM and some people call it 'Darkwave' or 'Cybergoth'.

Industrial, EBM, and Synthrock are not part of goth music, although symphonic metal, deathcore and black metal are even farther away from the subculture in my opinion. Honestly, I'm kind of an elitist and only consider true goth music stuff like old-school classic goth bands like Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees, batcave like Specimen and Alien Sex Fiend, older deathrock like Christian Death and 45 Grave, newer deathrock like Frank the Baptist and Cinema Strange, and so on with other music in a similar vein to all that stuff. Although Industrial and EBM and so on gets played in so-called "goth" clubs, I don't consider it a part of the goth subculture at all. There just happens to be a lot of crossover with the people who like that… [cont.] Answered by dc87 - Thu Oct 1 00:15:37 2009 Websites that deal with the history of the gothic subculture?
