Robert James Smith fetta I really dont know what to believe, whee to me in some senses they are, but then listening to their more pop-songs there is no "gothly" sense in it at all... So i just take it as the cure are wonderful and leave it at that. Yeah, thats how i think of it... in other words there is no right or wrong just... THE CURE! blaugh Agreed. I was actually shocked in some ways they considered it goth rock. Their music doesnt really come off as goth.

Categories change over the years. They stretch to hold new sounds and shrink as other categories pop up to tke some of their music. The Cure, in my mind at least, were the quintessential rock band of their time. I like to think that their stuff was so good, some of their sound was adopted by other genres, and that's why, today, they seem more poppy than goth.

I'd say The Cure put out some great goth albums in th early years, and they were instumental with creating the goth sound, but they are The Cure first and foremost. And as a side note, goth rock isn't just Halloween music and moaning. It happens to be a very multifaceted type of genre...some of it laced with punk, folk, classical, and even neopsychedelia-ish sounds.

So i just take it as the cure are wonderful and leave it at that. To be fair, goth has changed over the years, because it changed like everything else. Even really poppy songs like Just like heaven are still reasonably dark, when you think about it. I think he invented goth, but goth just cahnged, just like the cure changed. I'd say goth we have today is probabily based around the cure, at least to start with, and because they've done so many different things on so many albums, its like putting it all together again but giving a whole veiw of their music. If you know what i mean.

the goth-est thing ever is to deny it...heh heh...
To be frank, The Cure are amoung the staples of gothic music. They are linked to it no matter how much anyone (including Robert) wants to deny it. They helped found what it is, and most goths (not all, really, NOT) count them as goth, and probably like a handful of their songs.

I don't really belive that there is such a thing as the so caled 'Goth Scene' I think It's just kids who listen to AWESOME music and happen to look like they came out of a 1980's horror film.
It's what we like. We shouldn't be labeled. We are not stocking material. We are people and we are just ourselves.
Listening to the Cure will not make you goth and it isn't goth because there shouldnt be any such thing.
The Word 'Goth' is just a form another way of saying Gothic.
Gothic is not a way of dressing or music.
It was actually a cult and a form of Religion. If the band Cure was in anyway related to the culture then you can call it goth.
And I will only accept people calling themselves a REAL Goth only if they are related to that culture.
Sorry but I really enjoy ranting. And you have made that possible <333.
