Joy Division, The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees. These are Gothic rock, and I don't really think anyone else is (I mean except rip off bands like the merry thoughts I guess).
And I guess the Cure, but I don't really like them so I'm gonna file them under gothic pop out of a sense of disdain for their weepyness.
And then there are bands like Alien Sex Fiend and Sex Gang Children I guess, which I'm going to call 'not quite the same thing'. I'm not sure they even count as music.
Fields of the nephilim and type o negative can go to hell for ruining a perfectly good genre, and I'm not sure I even care to know anything that came after them by name.
