Gothic is usually not a popular style in the strict sense, it is endowed with gorgeous poetic tendency, ruthless and sad elegy and endless drama. However, it produced a dedicated and still prosperous subculture, which made its aesthetic concept still exist long after the initial musical heyday. The godfather of Goth is Joy Division, a former British punk musician. His cold, distant, compulsive introspective music and lyrics laid the foundation of Gothic primitive structure. But whatever the intention and purpose, what really gave Goth life was Bela Lugosis Dead, a song from 1979 Bauhaus's first album.
