I mean, you could maybe make a case that the Birthday Party was sort of proto-goth, but they made songs making fun of Bauhaus, yeah? Certainly not the Smiths or Morrissey, though. How about Alien Sex Fiend, the Bolshoi, Fields of the Nephilim, Death in June, London After Midnight? I don’t know… maybe it’s all a matter of perspective and a moving target anyway… let’s just say any band that’s been on Cleopatra and be done with it?
Still sorry about being that guy, though.
