Gothic Rock

Gothic Rock emerged in late 1970s England, filled with moody melodies and a penchant for all things dark, proving that wearing eyeliner and talking about existential dread could actually lead to musical careers. Characterised by haunting vocals, jangly guitars, and lyrics that sound like a pull from a particularly brooding diary, it’s the kind of music that makes you want to linger in graveyards, preferably with a good cup of tea. It’s been delighting fans ever since, showcasing a curious mix of brooding angst and an uncanny ability to find beauty in the gloom, proving that misery does, in fact, love company, preferably in the form of a crowded venue with very dim lighting.
