no, it comes from UK post-punk 1977-1980.
> Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Bauhaus and the Cure were examples of post-punk bands who shifted to dark overtones in their music, which would later spawn the gothic rock scene in the early 1980s

The later artists that you listed are not regarded by that wave as being "really" goth at all.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoYep. When I hear goth I think Bauhaus, Joy Division....
- wiether 2y agoParent comment was saying that US goths are a reading of European trends. Meanwhile, I was saying that here (in France) and during my teens, goths where actually seen as a product of American culture. I wasn't saying that the goth culture is coming from America, but that people who identified as goths were inspired mostly by American artists.
- SideburnsOfDoom 2y ago> people who identified as goths were inspired mostly by American artists My peers and I certainly were not. It was mostly or entirely inspired by UK artists. Later waves may be different, there might indeed be people inspired by Vision Video, Twin Tribes and Boy Harsher (all current US). Or by the German scene.
