I have just been reminded of how much 'me' some of that dark 80s Goth stuff is, and my friends are being boring. AIBU to get wine (not blue nun or Liebfraumilch sadly) and listen to only Cure, Mission, Nephilim, and Mary Chain all night???

I was a Newport goth.

In the clubs I recall a lot of the Cramps and Devo, not strictly gothy but better for dancing.

Course we can lanark

shins · 16/04/2016 01:20

(I mean the conformity of 1000s of people doing the same dance move, not suggesting they were actually Nazis)

darksideofthemooncup · 16/04/2016 01:21

if we are going industrial what about Einsturzende Neubauten?

TinklyLittleLaugh · 16/04/2016 01:22

Gina X, Great Dark Man.

You bastards. I have The Feels (not Fields, btw...).

All About Eve were big in the goth scene (where I was anyway), Rosetta Stone and Christian Death were also popular. I love Julianne Regan's beautiful, haunting, melodic voice.

I remember being so moodily pissed off when I was 15 and my parents wouldn't let me go and watch FOTN live as it was a school night. Carl McCoy's deep brooding vocals and exquisite gorgeousness almost overwhelmed my teenage self. I never quite forgave my parents.

Not goth, but a band favoured by many of us in the goth scene were New Model Army.

Goth will always be at the true heart of me. I remember the days of being on the dance floor and flinging my arms in to the air, and spreading my fingers out and pulling my arm back in as if pulling an invisible cord towards me. Oh happy days!

Lanark2 · 16/04/2016 01:32

Ooh I am imagining me naked on a back wall at an EN gig now.. This is great!!

Lmao, love them all but especially look out for the bee.

If we're doing NMA can I request Get Me Out? I spent much of my youth thinking this when I had to attend anything 'non-goth'.

shins · 16/04/2016 01:48

Halber Mensch!(geh weiter!!)

Love EN.

All About Eve, no.Just no.

GuiltyPleasure · 16/04/2016 01:55

nuclear our dance variation was more 2 steps forward 2 steps back because the best nightclub in Leeds had the world's smallest dance floor with a great big pillar in the middle of it.

Lanark2 · 16/04/2016 02:11

Aw fuck I loved holding onto those odd middle of the dancefloor pillar s
