Worldwide Gothic : Book by Natasha Scharf - Book Worldwide Gothic : Book by Natasha Scharf - Book  Ref: 20364 This is the first book to look at the impact of the goth scene worldwide from its origins right through to the present day. From the UK’s sprawling post-punk scene to Japan’s visual Kei movement, not forgetting the USA’s deathrock explosion and Germany’s extremely popular Schwarze Szene, 'Worldwide Gothic' explores how they all came about and the influence they’ve had on contemporary music and fashion.

Spat out of punk at the tail end of the 1970s, goth became a major subculture in the UK with bands like Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Sisters Of Mercy scoring Top Ten hits and its fashion inspiring catwalk collections. After the scene died down in the early 1990s, it spread out to Europe where it attracted hundreds of thousands of followers and became assimilated with other musical genres. In the US, it has been married with the industrial metal of bands like Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails which has revived it for a whole new generation. Elsewhere Japan’s look has become an international fashion trend among teenagers. This book also looks at how goth is now returning to its roots now with the emergence of dark rock and indie bands who pay homage to gothic greats like Bauhaus and Joy Division.
