Description
The Book of Goth: A Comprehensive Overview of the Genre In 1979, four influential bands - Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, the Cure, and Magazine - emerged from the punk movement, creating a new sound that blended dissonance and darkness. This fusion of music would eventually become known as goth, with its own distinct style and global appeal. By the time Margaret Thatcher left office in 1990, the impact of goth on popular culture was already being felt. Now, 40 years later, Cathi Unsworth provides a detailed exploration of this genre, tracing its development from its punk roots to its current status as a significant force in music and fashion. This book offers a comprehensive overview of goth, covering its history, key figures, and enduring influence on contemporary culture.
