Some Velvet Morning
What exactly the “goth” term means has always been contested, a lot of bands have only been termed “goth” retrospectively, and the majority of bands from the ’80s disliked it and claim there was no such thing as “goth.” That may be, but there was an actual scene (or several throughout the years), no matter what you want to call it. So to prove it, I decided to make a map of all the membership overlap between major bands somehow related to goth. Sorry for the kind of blurry quality, and for anything I missed or couldn’t fit.
(and yes, the link of Julianne Regan to the Mission refers to her singing on God’s Own Medicine.)
It just seems to me that those people who think with a certain level of depth are destined to lose. The more vulnerable your work, the more people want to trample it. If you think freely, then everyone wants your head on a platter. In essence you become the sole white sheep standing on green Astroturf roped off in an exclusive part of the yacht, far out at sea, and it is here that the aristocracy, those men who own the boat, take turns one by one on their knees fucking you in the ass.
