Subject: Gothic Music Category: Terminology/Sayings |
Origins of gothic music stem from the Punk Rock of the 1970's, as segments of that culture sought music that had more substance, romance, and a broader range of emotional appeal. Generally speaking, gothic music explores the sorrowful mysteries of life using intelligent, poetic lyrics with artistic and emotionally charged melodies. However, since its punk beginnings, it has diversified so much that it encompasses many styles of music; it's not just rock anymore.
