i already like gothic rock, but what was awesome about FNM was how they skate this line betwene gothic, punk, progressive, psychedelic and shoegazer all in one... at least before Mike showed up
i guess maybe people didn't realise that my current preference for ambient soundscapes was preceded by harsh electro, psychedelic trance, speed metal and punk music.
really, it was punk, specifically dead kennedys that i define as my first actual opinion about music.
