Gothic Rock

Gothic rock (sometimes called goth rock) is a genre of rock music that originated during the late 1970’s. Originally bands from the genre had strong ties to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk styles. The genre itself was defined as a separate movement from punk rock during the early 1980’s. Gothic rock artists deal with dark themes and intellectual movements such as gothic horror, Romanticism, existential philosophy, and nihilism. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Asrai

Could we please not have Evanescence be the representative top streaming tracks for Gothic Rock. That's just silly. Put on some Christian Death or at least The Cure.
