I'm not going to answer the thread question. Instead I'm going to focus on the positive. Why is Gothic music so underappreciated? The Gothic and post-punk movements gave birth to some of the greatest music I've ever heard. Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy. I mean honestly, why has this genre been forgotten by so many?

Edited by Cultmeister: 6/1/2016 8:05:26 AMIT HASNT It just got a bit samey in the mid 90s when all the new gothic bands turned into metal, like when Fields of the Nephilim went all death metal-y for no particular reason, and then everyone started associating Goth with Nightwish. And then after the initial wave of Nightwish, Tristania, Within Temptation, Epica etc. every gothic band just tried to copy them and all of a sudden goth = gothic symphonic metal with growling vocals half the time, instead of a dark gloomy progression from post punk like what Bauhaus was like and the first Siouxsie & the Banshees album.

But what about modern Gothic bands like Nosferatu that stayed true to their roots?
-
Well that's the thing, bands like that just aren't a dime a dozen these days.
