pretty sure goth died to EDM in the 90's. it was a weird transition, too. from somber to dark rave, and it happened really fast. probably in large part due to the matrix movies and hot topic.

Didn't Trent Rezner start producing electronic music/become a DJ?

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Reznor does make movie soundtracks and instrumental albums (Ghosts I-VI) but he still also makes "typical" Nine Inch Nails music. Here's some examples from 2016-2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JSSCKFgRFM

Sure, goth music is pretty varied now. If you look at the bands that play at Wave Gotik Treffen you'll see a lot of variation: https://www.wave-gotik-treffen.de/english/past.php That just means it's a vibrant scene, there are still traditional goth bands though.

Good to hear. Tbf I haven't followed it in a long time. My club days are long behind me. Knees are all creaky and I don't drink like I used to.
