Punk Rock Gothic

Modern Face of the Gothic Subculture – and What It Is All about
Many students listen to specific genres of music and enter various youth music subcultures. One of the most unusual music subcultures is the trend of Goths. Their music sounds sinister and depressive; their appearance is grotesque and dark. But it is the subculture itself so bad some people consider it to be.
What the Gothic Subculture Actually Is
It formed in the middle of the 80-s around post-punk, the principal rock music trend of that time; particularly – around one of its sub-styles – gothic rock. Many Goths of that period played the music that resembled punk-rock, but with some gloomier and grimmer shades. Their fashion also resembled that of the punks, but the predominant color was black. The first British “dark punk” groups played in the London club named Batcave. Many of the Batcave bands, such as The Cure or Siouxsie and the Banshees, are still popular in Great Britain and around the world.
Today there exist two polar attitudes and two major opinions about the gothic music and the Goths within the subculture itself.
Perky Goths
Perky Goths are often associated with the cyber scene, but there are plenty of them in other trends, including traditional Goths, deathrockers and Victorian Goths. This is the type of Goths that do not take their subculture too seriously. They like macabre toys, ragdolls, Tim Burton’s cartoons and all the cheerful gothic stuff.
Mopey Goths
These are the Goths, most consistent with the common stereotype of a Goth in the public mind. They are too serious about their being Goths and too pathetic. Their mood is always bad, since they consider high spirits inappropriate for the Goth. They always wear black (only black) and listen to any music that is sad and gloomy enough. Other Goths usually dislike the mopey Goths and consider them annoying.
