KharBevNor:
Indie: Dullness, tweeness, songs about spatulas and Neitzsche. Often some variation. Generally better than what's on the radio. See the Shins, the Flaming Lips, Iron and Wine etc.
Goth: Deep, haunting atmospheric music. Ranges in styles from techno to neo-classical. Some goth bands (Siouxsie and the Banshees for example) got pretty big in the eightries. Got mucked up with industrial and metal in the nineties. Some kick-ass bands at different ends of it include London After Midnight, E Nomine, XII.Stoleti, Inkubus Sukkubus, The Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, :wumpscut:, Bauhaus and Nosferatu.
Khar: Thinks goth is better than indie.
sketchyjoe:
The goths I know all listen to bad industrial music and The Cure.
KharBevNor:
Don't they know the Alphabet of goth?
'O is for Only Teen-Goths listen to the Cure!'
Damned poseurs. I'm not even goth, and I'm the gothest person I know.
a pack of wolves:
They're the equivalent of emo kids that listen to Brand New. My sister used to be a proper full-on goth, but the only bands I remember her liking are the Dreadful Shadows, the Cranes and the Horatii. That Horatii song about the island of zombie women was awesome. I haven't noticed the lines between indie and goth getting blurred in QC though.
On a tangent, kudos on the sig sketchyjoe.
