Biography
Goth Rock or Gothic Rock is the child of Post-Punk and the genre of music that is the center of the Goth Subculture. Common musical features of the genre include melodies carried by the bass guitar, with the electric guitar taking a secondary role, sparse and minimalistic beats,note effects-laden scything guitar patterns with lots of reverb, and (often) use of synthesizers. The most common vocal styles tend to be gloomy monotones, deep, droning baritones, or a more flamboyant, glam rock-inspired style. Lyrics are usually brooding, thoughtful and introspective, and there may be inspirations in literature and poetry, allied with themes of religious symbolism, romanticism and supernatural mysticism, as well as existentialism, nihilism, melancholy and tragedy.
