-Resurrected Writer- Nero PsyKoTiX -Resurrected Writer- GilAskan Isobel Bellamy WhatIsHuman Yeah, I guess it did. If he hadn't died Bauhaus would of never wrote that song...and they're the founders of Goth.What would the world be like without Goths? eek A lot happier with no shortage of black clothing xd On the positive side, no goths means no mallgoths. And no mallgoths means all angsty teens will jump ship to mallcore emo.
Now let's not say things we're gonna regret.
gonk
Eh, most of them already have jumped ship to mallcore emo. Lol, ah, they're all the same over here, black clothes only from specific "alt" shops? Check Crappy a** makeup with corpse paint in hair, black eyeshadowed up eyes like a panda's, mascrara so thickly applied its clumping, and black lipstick? Check Band tee of MCR, P!aTD, FAB or some other acronym? Check Look of meaningful doom and gloom to all the look upon me that are not cool enough? Check. Homework for school completed? Check- wait!

*on topic*
Hm, while an intesting idea, I don't really think that Bela's death led to the entire spawning of a subgenre of music, the music scene was progresing towards a calmer, more morose gloomfest as opposed to punk anyway, it was just a nice song by a band that people jumped upon to label.
It happened with just about every other genre: people say Sabbeth created black/death/whatever(no discussions of what metal Sabbeth played, this is about Bela Lugosi) metal, when other bands were already making music like that (better), but they faded into obscurity because their lead singers didn't create hype for them by biting the heads off animals.
highlight for disclaimer for those with a need to object to anything Sabbeth related.
(no discussion of the exact details of this: it was reported in the news, people believed this to be true, this is what created hype for them. No discussion on the motives either, I did not say he did this just for hype. Don't go getting your knickers in a twist because you interpreted something wrongly. - fed up of people trying to make themselves sound all big and important on an internet forum - go get friends of your own.)

GilAskan In 1978, Siouxsie and the Banshees released their first album, "The Scream". However, the album "The Scream" was pretty purely a punk album, not a goth-rock album. Their next album, released in 1979, "Join Hands" was also pretty purely punk. Their next two albums, "Juju" and "Kaleidoscope" started experimenting more, but it was their 1982 album "A Kiss in the Dreamhouse" that they became a purely goth-rock band. Now, this isn't to say that their album ("the Scream") wasn't important to goth, nor is it to say that Siouxsie and the Banshees weren't. In fact, Siouxsie and the Banshees are one of three of the most important bands to the history of goth, the other two below. The first goth-rock album was probably "Unknown Pleasures" by Joy Division, which was also released earlier in 1979 (april, if you must know). It marked arguably the earliest example of the style, though, some argue that it isn't goth-rock at all, but post-punk. Bauhaus, also in 1979 (September) "Bela Lugosi's Dead" was released, and is marked as the beginning of goth largely because it was so popular, and because it did so much to bring the culture together stylistically, aesthetically, and thematically, even if it didn't create the genre itself. Their October 1979 album "In the Flat Field" was their first full album, and is also considered to be purely goth-rock. i agree...especially with the joy didvision part...
