i agree, because the door swings both ways: i need goth music sometimes, but I'm pretty far from the culture these days

I like some goth music, although I listen to rock more but I do enjoy sister of mercy, joy division, death in june, post punk and neo goth music.

I used to listen a lot to metal music, which has overlapping areas with Goth music.

I like the way Gothic girls look and dress, that gothic styl, but also their characters seem to be coolish, metaphysical, and so different from 'normal' girls. I like that very much. I once went to a metal concert and there I met a very nice Gothic girl. We exchanged a few letters, hers were artistically burned at the edges. 8)

As a musical term for sure, "the '80s" imply the late '70s and early '90s. You can think of them as tapers of this golden decade.

Gothic bands/ emo bands associated with the goth scene in one way or another that I like (or have liked in the past) are (in no particular order): Nightwish (before-circa 2007), Within Temptation, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Evanescence, Epica, Jack Off Jill, Ragana, The Cure, The Birthday Massacre, Emilie Autumn, Hannah Fury, Danzig, The 69 Eyes, Apocalyptica, Rammstein, The Dresden Dolls, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nox Arcana, Angelspit, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, and apparently a ton of goth girls love Tori Amos so I'm going to put her down as a hard maybe. I'm currently looking at Nina Hagen's stuff. Her cover of Rammstein's Seeman with Apocalyptica is phenomenal.

I listen to a lot of moody doomy metal and post punk, what is classed as goth or not, I don't know. I used to dig around for unknown and obscure music, kind of a hobby, to pass the time on, stumbled across these guys, one of my favourite goth acts. Oh and I will add my favourite ever cover song to this too.

Gothic bands and emo bands wouldn't ever be confused with each other in terms of sound. It's only since the early 00s that the subcultures have started to be conflated, but one wouldn't be likely to confuse a band like Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy with bands like Indian Summer or Four Hundred Years.

Gothic rock is one of the sounds that grew out of late 70s-early 80s post-punk.
Emo is one of the sounds that grew out of late 80s-early 90s post-hardcore.
