Gothic is usually not a popular style in the strict sense, and it has been given a gorgeous poetic tendency, a pitiless and sad elegy and endless dramatization. However, it produced a devoted and still thriving subculture, which made its aesthetic concept exist long after the initial musical heyday. The godfather of Goth is Joy Division, a former British punk musician. His cold, remote and compulsive introspective music and lyrics laid the foundation for Goth's original structure.
