It’s funny goth was so ridiculed at one time – but look now everyone wears tight skinny black jeans and you can hear goth influence in hip hop now too .
i have to say the selection was superb…and i know these are top of pops, but in terms of a more in depth version " goth" for future watchers..please include joy division, chameleons uk, japan virgin prunes, ultra vox, for the early 80s era include rozz williams, christian death, psychic tv, holy cow, marianne faithful, pet shop boys, for ..nineties include acts suzane vega, skinny puppy insane clown posse and the cranes cru shadows, spandu ballet, kfmdm, for 2000s include NIN, my chemical romance, boxpatrol, dorian james, gmmk, power masters, lil peep, ghostemene, beat goes on, oracle girls, bernard herman, Universal cell lock, timeghost, taboo, baby aspirin, its ok tocry, scruff puppy, love fades, gucci highwaters, brakence, billie eilish, jumex, sad eyes. for the 1950s and 1960s include nico , doors ultimate spinac, screamin jay hawkins, phil ochs, robert johnson. From the seventies include….. suicide, and stooges and kraftwerk Can and Bowie….(man who sold the world album). Goth is fluid so all the acts i mentioned above have goth dna in them…. either a new strain or elements of older….strains…
And a big one handed slow clap to the scumbags at the BBC for making virtually all these lip-sync. I've seen a fair few of that line up play live of which mostly they were very capable, just a shame the to55ers at the BBC wanted to portray their happy-clappy pop bu11shit! And I must also question their inclusion of some of those acts, FFS who signed this off? Stock, Aitken & Waterman? Those ba5tards should by tried for crimes against humanity for what they inflicted!

wow this was great siouxsie and marilyn.sisters of mercy also awesome but their performance seemed kind of watered down.the beauy of poison is a great song and im not normally into pj harvey and wouldnt consider it goth but fuck phonies anyway and down by the water is a good song.
I grew up loving DM, but I don't consider them Goth. And what is Strawberry Switchblade doing here? Even DCD's first four albums are more gothic sounding than that…
Who ever put this together is full of bollocks with Shakespeare's Sisters were more mainstream, next PJ Harvey is not nor as ever been Goth she is Pop Bitch and final Little Bitch Boy Brian is not the new king of Goth far from it he's just a little tosser bitch that needs to taught what is Goth and not.. Never been a fan of TOTP was more of a Old Grey Whistle Stop at least they had real Goth Band's perform. Fucking BC Tossers
who the hell puts these things together why the following acts are on here I don't know they have never had anything to do with the Goth scene(however mixed up people are with what they think is Goth etc) the Cure/the Banshees / KJ / Depeche Mode(ffs) /strawberry switchblade / pj Harvey / shakespears sister / Marilyn manson
Specimen track is very glam sounding yet they have a goth look.Nice guitar hook but I never really became a fan… I prefer more along the veins of TSOM, Bauhaus, JD, DM, The Cure, Lebanon Hanover, etc.

I'm seriously ill but watching goth music videos (whether they're actually all goth or not) actually cheers me up for some reason.

Did TOTP’s ever come around to letting bands actually play, or are all these lip synced?
And a big one handed slow clap to the scumbags at the BBC for making virtually all these lip-sync.

Depeche Mode Goth? Never
I grew up loving DM, but I don't consider them Goth. And what is Strawberry Switchblade doing here? Even DCD's first four albums are more gothic sounding than that…
Manson here? wtf?
What is that song during the intro?
Methinks the BBC have not doneth their homework because a third of these bands are not Goth
Someone once asked me if I'd heard of PJ Harvey, and I was like 'No, who are they?'.
I still don't know.
58 min doc.. ten yt ad breaks.. impressive ratio.
Siouxie is the dogs bollocks
Who ever put this together is full of bollocks with Shakespeare's Sisters were more mainstream, next PJ Harvey is not nor as ever been Goth she is Pop Bitch and final Little Bitch Boy Brian is not the new king of Goth far from it he's just a little tosser bitch that needs to taught what is Goth and not..

There’s no more goth than Bauhaus. Period.
