What kind of music do goth people listen to?

Answer 1

There's no subgenres of goth, like many would have you believe, however certain bands within the goth genre have different tendencies (Killing Joke and Alien Sex Fiend lean Industrial, Fields of the Nephelim and Nosferatu lean hard rock, The Cure and Siouxsie and The Banshees lean pop).

Simply put, goth people listen to whatever they want, but primarily goth rock (see the bands mentioned above).

Listening to bands outside of the genre doesn't detract from your 'goth cred' so don't be embarrassed to admit you like something other than Bauhaus.

Also, just because a goth person is listening to it, doesn't make it goth.

Just because a goth kid is listening to Lady Gaga, doesn't make it goth now, does it?

For the most part, popular genres other than goth rock popular amongst the subculture are: Post-punk (The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen), New Wave (Duran Duran, Depeche Mode), Psychobilly (Demented Are Go, The Meteors), Deathrock (Christian Death, 45 Grave), and Punk (Sex Pistols, Crass).

Answer 2

There is genuinely a sub category of music called 'emo music'. Various bands have released albums that fall into this category.

However, it is worth noting that 'emo' is a sub culture and not an individual with individual. Meaning that you can't really typecast. For instance, if one emo loves Mozart, but another hates Mozart; would Mozart be classed as emo music?

Answer 4

Emos can hear all different kinds of songs. Bands that have been classified as Emo would be bands like Hawthorne Heights, Black Veil Brides, The Used, From First To Last, Modern Day Escape, Attila, Falling in Reverse, Alesana, and other bands in the alternative hard core rock genre.

Answer 5

The "emo" or emotional sub-culture likes emotional music, which might be best exemplified by The Cure.

Answer 6

Emo's like to listen and write music because it helps them to express their feelings and emotions. They also do this through poetry.

Answer 7

Screamo, Heavy Metal, and Punk.
