History

The Goth types are usually identified by fashion tastes, but music preferences and personality or attitude are often taken into account, as well. In general, though, most Goths just consider themselves "just Goth", and don't stick hard-and-fast to any one type of music or fashion too strictly. Genres of Gothic music

Futurist - A short-lived British synthpop scene. Popular musicians included Gary Numan and Tubeway Army, Propaganda, Depeche Mode, and Book of Love. New Romantic - Though many original Goths from the early 1980s would insist that the New Romantics and Gothic rock scene had nothing to do with each-other, some of the more prominent bands in that scene (Adam and the Ants, Visage, Classix Nouveau, Ultravox, The Human League) have been influential on later waves of Gothic music, and their "street cred" as acceptable gothic music has been considered "grandfathered in" since the mid-1990s. No Wave - NYC's No Wave scene consisted on musicians largely influenced by Modernist Jazz of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Latin American / Exotica music of the 1950s, and early, minimalist electronic music, but with a strong punk flavour. The Velvet Underground may also be considered an influential band on No Wave. Musicians associated with No Wave include Lydia Lunch, James Chance, Cristina Monet, and The Del-Byzanteens.
