"The Cure's Founding Member Chronicles Goth Subculture in New Book"

Lol Tolhurst, founding member of The Cure, discusses the enduring nature of goth as a lens through which to see the world, rather than just a fashion or music genre. In his new book, "Goth: A History," Tolhurst explores the inclusive philosophy of goth and its fascination with darkness and death. He pays homage to influential figures like Siouxsie Sioux and highlights the impact of goth music on misfits and marginalized communities. Tolhurst also reflects on The Cure's own connection to goth and the band's ability to find solace and salvation in their music. He believes goth is still relevant today and will continue to self-regenerate in response to crises.
