[kj] OT: The origins of goth?

[Per G Olsson]

	Yep, I know that the term is extremely widely used.
	Sticking my neck out as little as possible I'd say that Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus fully fits my expectations of "goth".
	Also early Specimen, a bit of Joy Division, early Clan of Xymox etc etc...
