There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Joy Division is Goth? Who knew?

Joy Division is considered the Band That Started It All, in terms of the early Goth scene.

Real Gothic Music Compilation "Gothic Stylings" 2 CDs

I have no way to do the torrent download-y thing. Curses!

So, for the edification of our readers, who would be examples of them?

Keep in mind these are *very* Jilli-specific definitions.

Swirly: Rasputina, Changelings, Dead Can Dance
Stompy: SPF1000
Britpop: Pulp, Space
Gothic Rock: Sisters of Mercy
Goth God: Peter Murphy, Bauhaus
Eyeliner Boys: H.I.M., London After Midnight, Newlydeads, Queensryche, Type O Negative (This category is 'Eyeliner Boys' because I figured 'Dumb Boys In Eyeliner' was a smidge too long.

I'm going to probably categorize Placebo under Goth Glam. I realized that this morning while drawing on my eyebrows.

Pretty close to mine. The BritPop I was completely offbase with, and, I think you'd agree, H.I.M. could easily fit either category.

Oh, certainly. I just put them in the Eyeliner Boys genre because they fit in that "silly silly bombastic Gawth Rawk! with eyeliner!" subset that makes me giggle.

Candylike the iPod just started "Black No. 1" by Type O Negative, speaking of bombastic Gawth Rawk.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Btw, Jilli, do you want to borrow the DVD of Guy Maddin's b/w silent movie version of the Dracula ballet?

I bought it used and it's just sitting around now that we've seen it.

YES, please. That way I can decide if I need need need to own it.

He is, isn't he? And he's not really androgynous, just both masculine and feminine.

Oxymoron?

I don't find him particularly feminine or androgynous, just a really, really pretty man in heavy eyeliner. Much like Johnny Depp in PotC.
