The interesting thing about THIS CORROSION is that I know people who never in a million years would think of themselves as goth (not out of any animosity - they just aren't), but love the song and will dance to it as soon as it comes on.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I would submit that this is due to the intersection of early goth and the '80's. Radio in the '80's blurs a bunch of the boundaries.

Many of my highschool classmates liked the video for "This Corrosion" because it was cool.
But none of them could remotely ever be called goth.
That's my lonely, thankless torch to carry. (handstapleforehead)

Oddly, it's the favorite song of Billy Bean, General Manager of the Oakland A's. He has expressed the ambition to one day "build a team as good as "This Corrsion."

That...concerns me, greatly. What does that MEAN?

Well, to be fair, THIS CORROSION is at least partly the responsibility of Jim Steinman. Is Meat Loaf goth? Rocky Horror connections aside.

Huh, i always considered Lucretia to be more of a goth anthem, while This Corrosion lends more credence to Andrew's constant "i'm not goth, i'm a rocker!" angst.

I know you're asking if the musician known as Meat Loaf could be considered goth, but for a moment I just sat thinking about the food.
Mmmmmmmeatloaf.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mmmmmmmeatloaf.
Now I want a sandwich. Thanks, SH. Thanks a lot!
