I was about 12....wow, 6 years ago, but anyway...
I saw a picture of Siouxsie and thought she was the coolest looking woman alive...that's where it all started for me.

Xymox-Grimlikyn My sister took me to a Sisters of Mercy concert in 1987, that pretty much sealed my fate ^_^ omg jealousy. stare but thats ok, i'll have to wait to see andy myself someday... i did see the mission a few years back, and that -almost- makes up for it. but not really... [incoming wall-of-text] i guess i can blame my mansonite friends... i wasnt allowed to listen to mr. manson, so i went to something else (and perhaps worse?)... cradle of filth. at some point, local goth club promoter noticed my blackity black darkness and said "hey, you belong at MY club! you must go and emerse yourself." so i did... the first names i heard there were wumpscut, wolfshiem and vnv nation... later someone else pretty much introduced me to and proceded to brainwash me into my obsession with TSOM/sisterhood (& nick cave).. not that i didnt go willingly wink ^ so theres my wall-of-text story about my blackity-black gothness of the darkest blackity-black-blackness. or something equally dark...

Hmm... when I was 6 and started to study psychology (Yes... at the age of 6...) and wanted to know about subcultures. I knew a lot of mallgoths, mostly mansonites, and that's how I got into the goth stuff... by teaching those mallgoths that MM isn't goth.

I listen to Punk so eventually I, through the internet, got into other Post-Punk and Goth bands.

Cockroach Waltz The way I first got into it when I first checking out new wave and the early punk bands.
Lots of The Police, The Clash, David Bowie, The Ramones, Blondie and 80's compilations...
Then one day I watched this cheesy show on MM Music about rocker chicks and Siouxsie Sioux was on and that was it.
I downloaded a couple of their songs and liked them but once I foung their greatest hits, that was it.
Soon I started liking The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division and Christian Death. Ditto for me... new wave girl at school... had library with her .. she had a burgendy pompadour (circa 1982) and told her i liked her hair,.. she took me around to the clubs and then i saw The Hunger and liked Bauhaus and it went from there....

I started listening to the retro active station on XM and took a liking to the music they played. lots of post punk, new wave, stuff like that. then i met my current boyfriend who was already fond of all the bands i was barely starting to listen to, and he claimed joy division to be the best band. i had heard a few songs by them but didnt think much of them. i like them a lot better now.
i heard 'dear prudence' by siouxsie some time ago, but it sounded like 70s music to me or something so i never took a liking to them until i heard cities in the dust a few years later.

I bought a used Cure CD really cheap at a music store.
Then I started finding bands that wwere connected to them, and bands that people liked etc.
Also from friend of mine & mix CDs they've given me.

My ex-boyfriend was obsessed with Marilyn Manson (lulz) and he had me read his book, "The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell". In that book, Manson mentions The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry" and I decided to download it. I fell in love and started obsessively downloading The Cure. The rest is history.

I used to get really bored and listen to the musicchoice channels on my Grandma's televsion. The "New Wave" genre channel was called Retro-Active, and I started liking what was on it. I got into Yaz, X-Ray Spex, Missing Persons, Suicide, the Dead Kennedys, New Order, and most of all, Joy Division. The list goes on to all the bands that I got into. I loved the amience, the expression, and everything that all that music had in it. But then, when I started playing bass, I got more into music that was a bit more complex than what I usually listened to, but I know it's still good music, different, and maybe a little weird, but still pretty good for it's time.

Uh, my parents. My dad's still got this biker look going on while listening to metal, and my mom is just plain jane but listens to everything.
Now I introduce her to music.

Well... my dad was there when it happened, and he's always listened to punk and such around me (he's definately more of a punk than a goth haha), but the thing that REALLY tuned me into what I like was finding a "best of" of Nick Cave that he didn't listen to much.
That was it for me.
Oh Nick heart
