What band/artist got you into our subculture's music?

[x_apathyslastkiss]

Siouxsie & The Banshees.
whee

And a little Christian Death.
Someone liked me up at random.  

[Deleted Accnt]

The Cure.
They inspired me to seek out more 80's bands which resulted in a newfound love of post punk. Then I ventured from there.. to stuff like Alien Sex Fiend.

 

[alice from weirdland]

My first band was probably either Bauhaus, The Cure or Switchblade Symphony.

Siouxsie & Tones On Tails came soon after.  

[Sayga Takaino]

The 69 eyes, Moonspell  

[Xx_neoreaper_xX]

Tainted Love-The Cure  

[MEOWITSTERRA]

I dug up some really old stuff by James D. Stark. I lol'd. Can't say it got me into goth music, but it helped me decide what I liked and what I didn't.  

[Dark_Style]

I liked the sound of NIN and Manson then moved on to Bauhaus and Cruxhadows.  

[Gothic Muffin of Doom]

It's either Siouxsie or Voltaire, I can't remember.  

[Labradorescence]

Evanescence. Not really gothic, but it's what got me out of top 40 disney and into music. I'm not really a true goth music person anyway. I like some gothic metal, but that's about it.  

[doom1000]

Blink 182 - all the small things.

Okay, so probely most of will now think "wait a minute, thats not goth rock, how can somebody say that blink intruduced him to the goth culture?" well, if i hadnt started listning to blink 182 i wouldnt have started listning to punk (NOFX, bad religion, anti-flag etc) and if i never knew those guys, i would never have gotten an interrest in black underground culture, and never started to do research on goth culture.

I dont listen to blink 182 that much any longer, but they did save from the whole preppie thing...

the first real goth artist i started listning too? cruxshadows or new days delay.  

[Shifty lil Pixie]

The first for me was Bauhaus. I heard it was 'the' band to listen to for Goths, and being curious I looked them up online. I wasn't really sure if I liked them or not, and thought maybe Goth music wasn't for me. Then not long after I heard The Sisters and was hooked from then on.  

[We Have A Winnar]

The Cure.
All my life my sisters had been playing stuff like Skinny Puppy or Bauhaus, so the first time I heard The Cure it was so different that I just got hooked. That led me pretty much in a big circle, and eventually I ended up listening to my sisters' music again- much more attentively.  

[Mrs. Pink Eyes]

The Sisters of Mercy and Christian Death.  

[Digital Malevolence]

I honestly have no idea.

But it might have been The Sisters of Mercy.  

[Eskimos are so gay]

Typical mallgoth > Cure > Bauhaus > Darkwave > Siouxsie and Joy Division > some proto-goth and post-punk, and goth related music > Goth Rock > Death Rock.

No longer listen to mallgoth or darkwave.

Goth was, tbh, my introduction into pretty much everything I listen to, even the stuff that isn't related.
