Content: In a live review about a Siouxsie and the Banshees' concert in July 1978, critic Nick Kent wrote that concerning their performance, "parallels and comparisons can now be drawn with gothic rock architects like the Doors and, certainly, early Velvet Underground". With the birth of this new music came the birth of a new fashion that was borrowed from the punk look and given a darker edge. But Goth fashion hasn't just borrowed from the Punks. There are many different styles influenced by fashions of earlier eras...but you can read more about that on the fashion page. But this was just the birth of modern Goth music and fashion and not what Goth is. After all Goth is just beauty that is found in the darker things in life. Dark music has been around since music began and so have people who have found beauty in darkness. Who can honestly say that Carl Orff’s O Fortuna, which is often mistakenly called Carmina Burana (circa 1935) and the poem Gloomy Sunday that was originally written by the Hungarian László Jávor and made famous by the singer Billie Holliday are not everything that Goth is? The songs of Hildegard of Bingen (born 1098) are very similar sounding to some contemporary Goth songs by the band This Ascension and even Qntal. As for early Goth people, how about Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Addams, Edward Gorey and perhaps even the virgin Queen Elizabeth I?
