    Yeah I think a lot of bands don’t want to be labeled “goth” bc there’s not a huge music fanbase that seeks out goth music, so you have to call yourself post-punk or something. Even if you don’t care about “huge” fame and just want enough of a fanbase to play concert tours. It might be different in Europe, dunno.

      My experience is that even fewer people know about post punk lol. I would have just figured that it was because of goth and Goths traditionally having been sort of outcasts and the better jokes at least when I was growing up. Things may be different now. But back in the 80s 90s Etc that was generally the case and yeah a lot of people probably weren’t trying to Target those groups
