Uh...

"She Wants Revenge" is an okay band, I guess (if you consider them goth/emo)

Wow, I don't think you could have done a worse job explaining that to me.

A badass goth band that more or less started the scene and made it cool to wear sunglasses at night and wear all black. Luckily i got to actually see them live when they showed up to open for NIN during the spring leg of the "with teeth" tour. Peter Murphy came out hanging upside down like a bat and fucking rocked the Stadium. As old as they are now, they still kick ass. It's a shame they got back together to make a new album, released it, then broke up again hehe. I always liked the dark undertone in Peter's voice that made every song eerie as hell.

In short, Gothic Rock/Deathrock (it's early title, in the U.S.), started around the end of the first wave of punk, '78 or '79. At this time, post-punk popped up, and out of this loose collective came gothic rock, industrial, and other new genres. Musically, gothic rock took the punk playing style, and slowed it down, making it creepy, morose etc. In the early days gothic rock was still pretty much attached to punk, garnering names like Death Punk, Positive Punk (no empty promises of revolution etc.), and Punk-Gothique. (Horror Punk while related, is generally it's own separate thing) Also, where as punk was outward and angry, gothic rock was more introspective and gloomy. The gothic tag, was attached, because the themes the bands wrote about, loneliness, isolation, madness etc. were common in gothic literature. That's the short history. I highly reccomend Goth Chic: A Connoisseur's Guide to Dark Culture by Gavin Baddeley. He starts all the way back at the goth tribe in Germany, and treks through gothic architecture and literature, and to the music. Also, DeathRock magazine is great, as is Radio Ghoul School. Feel free to check out my retrojunk article on Bauhaus. Also, the next time I hear Emo attached to either Goth or Punk rock, I might have to disembowel someone. Deathrock 4 ever! -vladdt
