Teen Gothic

goto outfit for when it’s hot out

(The band's legacy on culture will not be touched upon as its importance is obvious)

I was listening to The Birthday Party and I realized something that is not particularly important and that is that I don't really get the "gothic" sound within their music as it is sometimes presented. It is definitely dark, scary and romantic but I don't think it reaches the level of being considered "Gothic Rock" as it is closer to Noise Rock, No Wave and Punk Blues. Maybe instead of "Gothic Rock" I think it is more appropriate to see it as a Deathrock album due to the punk still being present in most of the songs and its almost non-existent ethereal atmosphere. This is my personal opinion but I would like to know what you think about it and how you would present it.

I’ve had MANY people ask me “what type of music is considered goth” I always explain it to them of course because I don’t want to be a mean weirdo. But I find it odd. It would be like if someone asked “what type of music is rap? Or punk?” Like… punk music, punk music is punk. I just think it’s strange how many people don’t know that goth is a music genre.

My mom found these pictures in an old box of hers. The pictures were probably hung up by her in the late 80s/early 90s. She doesn't remember who they are though. Does anyone know?

Still in love with it
