I'd like to wish everyone a happy gothmas, or at least a bearable one, and a gothy new year. Also, my thanks to the mods for performing their thankless tasks throughout the year. I'm so glad to have found this community, and look forward to more good music and discussion in the future. Cheers!

But seeing frontside. There was no cape too. The band had disbanded few years ago. The music was soooo good, but I can remember the name

I discovered Kaelan Mikla and Nox Novacula. I saw the Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, The Chameleons, the Skeletal Family, Nox Novacula and Sigur Ros. Tickets booked for Twin Tribes, Vandal Moon and Hooky & the Light in 2024.

I just remembered I'd sometimes put a Christian Death tape in my sister's Teddy Ruckspin(Ruxpin?) doll and it'd be opening and closing its mouth while music came out. Good memory.

stiiill

It seems to me that a lot of things were in the works even before the first albums were released – and even when albums were released how did news about the new underground culture travel since there was no internet and no tv coverage (or was there international TV coverage?)? Did record stores carry both British goth and American deathrock without time delay after release?

I honestly think that if there hadn't been any means to transfer news about goth it would have been born nonetheless both in the UK and the US (and other countries) since a counterpart to 80s mainstream excess euphoric culture was needed. Anybody agree?
