i love classical music...i used to be a ballerina :) *does ballet but not really as she's in college atm* sometimes i wish i had never quit ballet but oh well!

Awww me too, I used to tap dance aswell.. those were the days..

You'd never actually think this was called 'gothic.net' would you? :rolleyes:

Music that's not goth, eh? I have a dirty little secret. I know several Patsy Cline songs by heart.... and I will not repent!!!

I did ballet, modern, tap, hip hop, and dunham... but I sucked at all of them so I quite :p

DeathTrip and Jane13: that's funky :D i didn't do professional tap dancing but i did know it that and irish dancing and riverdance and well just normal dancing...i don't know the kind of sytle of dance i do,some of it could be abit hip hopish!!

Right now I'm listening to Midnight Syndicate...

And Lee Blaske rules too... (godDAMN why has nobody heard of him?!?!)

Theatre of Tragedy is probably my favorite goth METAL band right now...
All kinds o' thrash!!!

jayac teh ecuador flute band.

I like Darkwave, Synthpop and Rock in Spanish (you have to listen to those amazingly lack-of-any-sense lyrics) Also I like some Alternative Rock and Faith and the Muse (not quite sure what genre it is)

Glam rock/hard rock, progressive metal, jazz, visual kei, electronica/industrial...

does anyone else here think that gothic rock is both a genre and whatever else you fancy??? whether its classical or country or pop???

I do.

individuality is kick ass

that means not conforming to a certain group of music, in a sense

I like anything Punk or rock or classical music

Besides goth music, I was very nearly strictly a classical music listener (10 years of playing the piano tends to set one's musical tastes, at least in my case). I really really prefer music from the romantic and impressionist eras as well as music of the type of Schoenberg. All time favorite song would have to be: Notjustmoreidlechatter by Paul Lansky, which while not really classical, still kicks ass.

I also like french music.

I love epic metal--Sinergy, Power Symphony, Rhapsody, etc.

Il est temps comme ces que j'aurais apprendu plus de francais.

It's not so much I don't know much anymore, more that since planning to go to France in a few years, I wish I knew more than just enough to understand it (when the people talk slow)/write it. And sure heh, maybe it'll motivate me to get off my lazy ass and work through the french textbook collecting dust in a corner of my room.

Has any band in our society actually identified themselves as goth? It just dosn't happen! As far as I am concerned the public labels bands not the band itself. Puddle of mud is good but I would never actually buy thier cd but thats just me .

That might be but A true goth dosn't call themselves goth. It should be reconizable without having to say a word. I just hate music labels they are so stupid.

No, no I don't think that. No, no. No. No. No. No. You're wrong. No.

No matter how much black lipstick you wear while listening to her, Britney Spears will never be goth.

So you're saying that language, as whole, is not goth, and that, as goths, we should try to break the chains that words put on us? GREAT IDEA- Now, you first: Shut up. It'll be so totally goth.

But seriously, I understand where you're coming from, but you're wrong. Labels are stereotypes, but they're necessary, if you want anybody to have at least a *vague* idea of what you're talking about. If I enjoy typical bands that people identify as "goth", and my friend asks me what type of music I'm listening to lately, I'm not going to go into a self-righteous rant about how I don't think labels are politically correct, I'm going to say "I'm pretty into goth music now." It's a lot nicer. A lot less egotistic.

Besides goth-rock I like all kinde of rock and similar musice!
My favorit bands are nirvana,rammstein,whitestrips,the strokes are good,slayer,gorillaz,linkin park,daft punk a bit tehno must be,green day and that is all,I think!

i like jazz, blues, heavy metal, gothic, classical, and other styles i have no clue what the name could be.
to say the truth, i play clarinet for a long time and though i tried to play gothic with it, i never succeeded :D
so, eventually, i play jazz and i listen to gothic.

c'est évidemment plus naturel pour moi de parler en français. Mais bon, c'est un site en anglais donc on va peut-être pas commencer à tout pourrir avec une langue que la plupart des inscrits ne comprennent pas. :D :D

well, i'm warned if i wanna say something bad in French...
but, that's nice, i take it ;)

sorry....

Anyway, darn you X for knowing a USEFUL language :p I love you.

woo, that's promising.
if, obviously, you like me ;)

well, don't hesitate to ask for help as well, i do help too.

Grr...I want to learn french!

Why did my grandfather died so early. I was counting on him to teach me french!

Salut arc, j'espere que tu aimeras ton sejour a g.net.

hey, Fortunately not everybody speaks French, otherwise i couldn't say shit about americans just before them :D

well, there is some parts i cannot do that, even using slang. San Francisco for instance is just full of French!

Mais j'espère bien! Et je le pense, c'est plutôt sympa comme coin ;)

Same here! My Grandfather spoke Polish and my Grandma Hungarian, and neither of them bothered to teach my mom and her brothers and sisters! >.<

La langue de l'amour, française!
Défaut de la reproduction sonore, j'ai commencé à apprendre le français récemment, je l'aimerais si vous m'aideriez hors de Xnguela *winkz*

pardon me if my french isn't all that great, but i'm learning it in college.....:P
I wish i wouldn't of wasted my time learning German and Japanese *sobs*
Maybe i should've started learning french sooner.....*sigh*
oh well, no time like the present.

The Wallflowers, Coldplay, Blue Merle, Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, Ani DiFranco, Manson *No, i don't consider his music Gothic.*, Modest Mouse, Anna Nalick, whatever is on the local radio station, 95.7 "KROK The Wave" :-P

Actually, I find french game shows on the cbc french channel to be a heck of alot more entertaining than the english ones.

I've posted a long list of my favorites elsewhere... here it is, edited, among other things, to include Audioslave-- I don't know why I forgot them, since they were my favorite band for a long while, and still are one of my favorites. Their lyrics are very dark, much like Chris Cornell's previous band, Soundgarden, though it doesn't always appear so at first glance. I haven't heard their new CD, though...

Anyway, here you go:

Industrial-- Nine Inch Nails, Combichrist, Hanzel und Gretyl, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Bile
Blues-- Tom Waits
Classic Rock-- Aerosmith, Guns 'N Roses
Texas Rock-- Stevie Ray Vaughn, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton
Jazz-- Coltrane, Davis, Monk, The Marsalis Family
Alternative-- Sting, Dido, Tori Amos
Goth Rock-- The Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie, Type O Negative, Christian Death
Classic Metal-- Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer
Thrash-- Pantera
Modern Metal-- Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir
Modern Alt Metal-- A Perfect Circle, Tool
Classical-- Vivaldi
Rock/Classical-- Apocalyptica, Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Grunge-- Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains
Post-Grunge-- Audioslave

I listen to all sorts of music. I have really been getting into old school rap lately because I think Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaata were/are genuises. Besides that I have always been into punk. I have been a Misfits(Glenn Danzig) freak for quite a while and I love The Exploited,Subhumans and GBH.The only kinds of music that I really don't like is new country,jazz,nu-metal and black metal. I like old school Metallica and some other old metal bands but cookie monster vocals get on my nerves.

I have always associated goth primarily with the music. That is how the whole subculture started out in the first place...with the music. The fashion and everything else followed. A person can be moribund and not be goth. A person can listen to goth music and metal and still be goth because they like the music. If you don't listen to the music at all then why call yourself goth? How is your personality and lifestyle goth? I am actually interested in your answers and not being sarcastic.

According to the dictionary it means 'one who is about to die'. However it can also mean one who has dark thoughts. I first heard the word in a Samhain song ironically enough called Moribund. Gotta love Glenn Danzig.
