Songs that have made you cry
De_El:
Sisters of Mercy are good goth music and they don't dress like that. You learn something new every day!

Really, it's the same with any scene; the longer it's been around, the more self-celebrating it is, the more wanky imitators there are, and the harder it is to root through the dreck to find anything worthwhile. I'm not really into goth music any more so I have no idea who's making anything in that vein worth listening to nowadays.

I agree with your stance on gangsta rap.

and i don't dismiss goth music because it's "soooo 5 minutes ago," i dismiss it because the vast majority of what i've heard has been a load of over-dramatic wank that sounds like industrial-lite guitars cackhandedly played over a half-arsed slowed-down rehash of a 90s eurodance song. also i hate music where the image is taken as being more important the music - yes there's perpetrators of this in every genre - but seriously, tell me just ONE goth band who don't dress like an attention-whorish cross between robert smith and a troll that stole some cheap makeup.

actually i think your comment is fucking brilliant! but on the topic of what goth music is, most people dont have a clue... there is a huge differance between music for goth's... and goth music. godhead is both... and as they've progressed and lessened the goth-iocity... they've really put out some junk... so maybe they need all that black lipstick to spark the creative process. maybe they're just showmen.
but as technically skilled as Thrice is. their cover is an uninspired carbon copy of the original, I could give a shit how well its played...
I feel godhead kept the spirit of the song. but did something really unique with it... I especially like that they have a layer of the original vocals on their version also...
and besides... the VAST majority of indie music is over-analyzed shit with no real inspiration or creativity... but DAMN how those white English lit/music theory majors like bragging about how great these bands no one likes are, because they're ever so smart with teh moozics.
so... yeah...
I have shitty bands like DEADSY (you know its good because they capitalize ALL the letters!) and you have..... about 70 percent of the mediafire thread! :-P
E. Spaceman:
You make some good points but you attempt to back them with, you know, deadsy.
