The New Crea­tures of the Night

“The Bri­tish streets had always been a bree­ding ground for inter­na­tio­nal style crea­ting an Eng­lish civil style war that saw the other youth tribes–Teddy Boys, skin­heads, punks, metal heads, rocka­bil­lies and psychobillies–fighting pit­ched batt­les. Goths though, pre­fer­red to dress up, read, think, fuck and dance; the­se new crea­tures of the night came ali­ve on the dance flo­or.”

Uns­worth – Sea­son of the Witch (Buch)

Cathi Uns­worth beschreibt sich selbst als Goth und hat das Ziel, in ihrem “The Book of Goth” unter­ti­tel­ten Werk die Ent­ste­hung der Gothic-Bewe­gung aus den blei­er­nen Jah­ren der That­cher-Regie­rung zu erklä­ren. In der Buch­be­schrei­bung auf Ama­zon heißt es:
“Now, for­ty years sin­ce its incep­ti­on, aut­hor Cathi Uns­worth pro­vi­des the first com­pre­hen­si­ve over­view of the music, con­text and lasting lega­cy of goth. This is the sto­ry of how goth was shaped by the poli­tics of the era – from the miners’ strikes and pri­va­tisa­ti­on to the Trou­bles and AIDS ­­- as well as how its rock ’n’ roll out­law imagery and inno­va­ti­ve, atmo­sphe­ric music cross-pol­li­na­ted throug­hout Bri­tain and inter­na­tio­nal­ly, spea­king to a gene­ra­ti­on of ali­en­ated youths.” Uns­worth – Sea­son of the Witch (Buch) wei­ter­le­sen
