Sure, they had a few songs that were gothtastic, but most of them weren't really goth at all.
Good question. Well, it's actually still disputed whether they are a goth band or not. But purely goth wouldn't exactly identify them as a whole, because they have hints of post-punk, Acoustic, Wave, and Expiremental as well.
On a side note it's really not my place to say such, but they are an essantial goth band in my eyes. I actually should've been more specific, while identifying them purely as goth doesn't shut them off from being punk or so called new wave as well, I should acknowledge them generally as a band. But their lyrics are dark and poetic that kinda distanced them from punk in the first place. I could honestly go on.
Thanks, actually. I don't think you're picking on me at all, in fact. That's not the first time the arguments been brought up
