The Art of Darkness: The History of Goth Music and Culture This comprehensive history of goth music and culture explores the origins and legacy of this enduring scene, which has its roots in the post-punk era. Drawing on his own experience as a musician and journalist, John Robb delves into the style, music, and clubs that spawned goth culture, alongside the political and social conditions that shaped it. From the fall of Rome to the Romantic poets, European folk tales, Gothic art, and the occult, Robb examines the key events and movements that frame the ideas of goth. He also considers the current mainstream goth of Instagram influencers, film, literature, and music, featuring interviews with numerous influential figures from the scene. This book offers a first-hand account of being there at the gigs and clubs that made the scene happen.
