Jonathonn L Ron Jeremy lol, ignorance.
Didn't My Chemical Romance call themselves goth in a Gothic Beauty interview? Hasn't Marylin Manson called himself goth many times(just look at the beginning of the "Tainted Love" video)? I think Manson has right to call himself goth (How do we know his musical tastes? He could very well be listening to Bauhaus this moment); as long as he does not refer to his music as goth -- in which it is clearly not. As for My Chemical Romance? I've no answer for that, but a facepalm is indeed in need. (Indeed in need.. I ought to say that more often).. Also, to my mentioning of Blood and the whole visual-kei thing -- I disagree with myself (That is to say the present I disagrees with the statement made by the past I).
I think I read somewhere that Manson was a fan of Rozz Williams. It was online though, and I'm not sure if the source was particularly reliable. Though it's easy to see how Manson could have been influenced by Rozz.

Lol @ arguments.
I seriously cannot stand this age old argument.
WHO GIVES A s**t?!
To sit and nit pick over which bands belong in which categories is the most ridiculous and pointless thing to do.
Will the fact that a band may or may not be goth change how you feel about them?
I hate Marilyn Manson's music. If some "definitive" figure in the goth world were to say "No, guys, he's definitely goth" that would not cause me to suddenly be a Manson fan.
Nor will finding out by some strange happening that Joy Division is no longer goth cause me to stop listening to them.
If you need music and its proper categorization to identify yourself, then you are barely a shadow of a proper human being.
Also, I keep seeing people saying that just because a bunch of goths are fans of a certain band does not make that band goth. Good logic. I agree. However, the logic goes both ways. Just because a person likes a goth band, that does not make them goth. IF that logic were solid, then I would also be a raver, a cowgirl, a redneck, a punk, an emo, a kandi kid, a scenester, etc...
Just food for thought.

Okay, so I posted a while back and I suppose I ought to restate myself, because before I was hardly at all very descriptive. I consider all the music I've listened to a gateway to goth rock (With the definite exception of some genres), as it sorta led me along my path.
So I started off as a little kiddie listening to Poppunk and Alternative. Blink-182, Good Charlotte, Sum41, The Offspring. All that crap. And from there it sorta led into punk (Some older stuff like Sex Pistols, and some newer like Anti-Flag, NOFX) and metal (Lamb of God, s**t like that). By this time I was a mallgoth, quite literally at the mall every Friday (Which, granted, I am still guilty of if I have nothing going on on a Friday night), hanging out with collective of metalheads, goths, emos, scene kids and utter stoners who sort of hang around together.(Yes people, we got along!) Through a few metalheadymallpeople I found a few that introduced me into industrial music, which I found pretty kickin'. And in looking through influences to some industrial band I can't even recall, I stumbled upon The Cure. And then the Cure led to all the other goth rock bands and such.
I still listen to all the old stuff I did, goth is just another added to my pile. And it all led up to goth rock. Which took me to other genres ofcourse; Postpunk, darkwave, etc.
And then theres hiphop and indiepop and jazz and a bunch of other stuff I really don't know where I picked up.
So yeah, I coud have said "The Cure". But that's not true. because the domino effect that led to it is much more important. Plus, I don't have much to do today and I feel like reminiscing(sp?) and posting random crap.
