| ''Gothic Music'' is a relatively confusing term, in that it is necessary to distinguish it as used to mean '''goth music''', whilst also being used to completely expell this meaning. | |||
| <p> | |||
| == Goth Music == | |||
| '''Goth music''' is a relatively narrow selection of genres encompassing mainly ], ], ], ], ], and a ] genre known as ]. These genres are normally heavily linked with the modern day ]. | |||
| <p> | |||
| Bands under this term are often across genres, and hold little to any connection to each other musically. Commonly, bands are linked by their association with ], many of the bands integral fan base being ] and often marketing products associated with goths. | |||
| == Gothic Music == | |||
| '''Gothic Music''' however is a distinct term referring to music that fits within the classic meaning of the word gothic, rather than holding any connection to the modern day ]. | |||
| This term refers to far fewer genres than its sister term, '''goth music'''. Bands in this genre usually have one or more traits that is inclusive wholey or partially of the meaning of the word gothic. This includes several forms of heavy metal music, rock music, and electronic music. This term however, is mostly used for specific forms of music that centralise on having these traits, and as such consists soley of ], ] and ]. | |||
| == Common Confusions == | |||
| The widest genre of music that is considered a part of gothic music is the genre ]. This genre is considered gothic by its usage of themes akin to the traditional meaning of gothic, and as such gets its name from that. The genre also suffers confusion with the term '''goth metal'''. This term implys that gothic metal is associated with ], when the genre has little to no connection to them at all. Some argue however, that hybrid genres ] and ] are forms of gothic metal, and that due to bands in either form taking influence from gothic rock bands, that inheritantly such bands as these are gothic metal, while bands of the gothic metal genre are therefore not. This again, is fueled mostly by the usage of the term '''goth metal'''. | |||
| Some people, most commonly ], attest that, though not all music that meets the traditional meaning of the word gothic is considered to be ''goth music'', all bands that form under the reference of '''goth music''' are gothic. This is a oxymoron in itself, as bands and artists under the label of '''goth music''' normally have little to nothing to do with the meaning of the word gothic. This oxymoron often causes great debate and confusion amongst most people, and often leads to the smudging of the terms together. | |||
