Fields of the Nephilim - Elizium

Genuinely good music regardless of genre, gives me chills to listen every time. I'd regularly listen to it and about halfway through go on amazon and read the reviews to see how other people were enjoying it and the reviews were universally positive.
Some of the Fields of the Nephilim guys are doing the Eden House now. It's like British goth rock-pop for the 40+ set.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVH8ogP4D2w

It's pretty good if pretty conventional. I'd rather listen to this than whatever the Carl McCoy roadshow is doing these days.

I read some sociological study once of the goth subculture. Couple of interesting things. One, it tends to skew older. This is because goths don't age out of it as much as some other musical subcultures. (Don't believe it? Go to a goth-industrial bar. They're walking dead in more ways than one.)

Hard to explain why. But the social scientist who did it guessed it's because goth is really just based around aesthetics and being mopey and sort of wistful. It's arguably not political at all, and most of this stuff is not really rebellious much. So as you get older and get a job and become kind of a boring middle-class person, it's not really irreconcilable to keep wearing black and listening to this stuff. They tone it down, though.

some good things about goth:

+ catchy tunes
+ has style
+ doesn't want to change the world / doesn't care about the world / hates the world / to hell with your stupid indie band that thinks it's going to change the world who the gently caress do you think you are?

some bad things about goth:

+ self-absorbed
+ lots of neo-nazis (and you thought the skeletons in the closet were literally skeletons ho ho... you're wrong)
+ for all the catchy tunes there's some really tuneless bilge

Can confirm. It also helps that the music genres involved are all pretty much dead, with the only notable releases coming from a few established acts that churn out albums every few years. New and somewhat original acts know to take a semi-ironic approach to the aesthetic and become part of the indie scene instead.

goth culture has an obsession with morbid crap so its only natural they flirt with fascism

as far as im aware its pretty much the goth dream to be stupidly rich and move in to a haunted house and feel sad/bad all the drat time

also for evidence to the self-absorbed thing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Y6VOoFx9E

this is pretty awesome and i love this poo poo. but it's also got this kind of ludicrous emoting / hysterical bellowing bordering on self-parody etc.

it's not like 80th puro-goth didn't go overboard with this quasi-operatic, mary shelley hooha. it was there all along. also, i love it.

They were a Post-Punk band who helped define the Gothic Rock genre. I'd go with the former when describing the band as a whole as it's broader.
