    Hate to beat a dead horse, but Dark Shadows (movie) remake is really good. Johnny Depp is a great actor and Tim Burton obviously hit the nail on the head - you can't go wrong with Dark Shadows.

    The Cure is goth rock. Type O Negative is goth hard-rock/metal. Just because a girl is fronting a band does not make it a gothic band.

    @goro hello ... i think purely for the sake of description... how do you describe a musician or their style.. its okay to have seperate genres or even sub genres. that makes it more interesting i think..even for the sake of mp3 metadata on your mp3 player...(you want it to be correct & look good)... most music online is mislabeled... when it comes to genre, otherwise...its all labeled pop or rock by record companies..
