Headings: 

Content: The most dance-able styles tend to be keyboard and synthesizer-based, but most early
gothic music was guitar-based and was originally called Death Rock. The line between Gothic and Industrial music is not always
well-defined, although Industrial tends to be  more aggressive, with less themes of
personal pain and more about social/political issues. Both styles depend on synthesized
and digital sounds. The following represents a list of bands that are likely to come up in
conversations with Goths: Pre-Goths and Proto-Goths (just for fun): Johnny Cash (the original man in black); Roy
Orbison (dressed in black, sunglasses at nite, and sad ballads like “Only the
Lonely,” “Running Scared,” “Cryin’,” and “It’s
Over,” make him Pastor Dave’s vote for the Proto-Goth of the ‘60s!) (from the more serious ‘70s): David Bowie (goes without saying); Jim Morrison (for
his dark, lyrical poetry and tragic end);
