Where does industrial music / darkwave / cyber culture fit in?
There are many industrial bands which can be considered goth, and these two musical genres often share common styles, sounds and dress. But there’s plenty of industrial bands which aren’t goth (Nitzer Ebb) and goth bands that aren’t industrial (Die Laughing). Darkwave and Electro is also referred to as Goth Techno and these bands represent a very extreme interpretation of the goth ideal which has picked up fans rapidly in the mid 90’s. These bands (such as Girls Under Glass) generally mix slowed-down analogue techno with digital new romantic synths and goth vocals. Cyberpunk is closely allied with goth, but focuses on a dark future rather than drawing on a dark past, and is also primarily concerned with fiction rather than music. From a fashion and attitude perspective these two genres are easily intermixed.
