@ Dai6kan. I'm sure other can answer you better, but of the top ten tagged I'd say only Dead can Dance and Sisters of Mercy were goth. The Cure and Joy Division are proto-goth really, they influenced the genre but aren't in it as such. Try listening to those anyway and compare to the likes of Mason and the others to see the difference. (I don't know Lacrimosa so can't comment on them)...

Now that I think of it, WHY ARE ANY OF THOSE BANDS TAGGED AS GOTHIC (excluding Joy Division of course)

WHY THE FUCK IS MANSON TAGGED AS GOTHIC??!?!?

La musica es subjetiva, seguramente marilyn no es gothic, pero para algunos the rasmus es gotico, ni siquiera him me parece gotico pero al final cada uno pensara lo que le parece, no hay verdad absoluta

I agree with you all... But let's face it. Times are changing... These days Avril Lavigne is called punk, and HIM is gothic. That's just the way it is these days. Nothing to do about it.

Not one band on this page is remotely gothic. Well, The Cure KINDA, but not really. I was expecting to see Asp, Blutengel, and Cruxshadows up here... or at least Lacuna Coil or something.

So, everyone here are bitching about how the top artists are so totally not gothic, but can someone tell me which bands ARE gothic? And what exactly makes your music gothic? So far I grasp it that in order to turn your band from an ordinary rock band to a proper GOTHIC rock (a wholly different genre worth shitloads of arguments, as we can see) band you have to: sing about misanthropy, nihilism, suicides, bats and stuff, wear a black make-up and your stuff cannot be bought in Hot Topic. Prove me wrong, goth experts. I'd really like to broaden my horizons.

Evanescence? Nightwish? Marilyn Manson? Joy Division?!? 1º. If singer is a girl DO NOT HAVE TO BE A GOTH BAND 2ºJoy Division belongs to post-punk movement and first darkwave scene. 3ºMarilyn Manson was a rockstar, and then he experiments with nu-metal and industrial sounds 4ºNightwish is a POWER\SYMPHONIC METAL BAND PD: sorry for my english

I'm a little bit suprised in a bad meaning of this word. How poeple can even call Evanescence or HIM gothic?
