As a teenage music fan in rural Wicklow in the mid-1980s, I was deeply enamoured with the whole goth-light look sported by Robert Smith of The Cure, Jim and William Reid of The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Ian McCulloch of Echo & the Bunnymen. Back then, your tribe was everything, and what you wore advertised your musical tastes in a way that today’s teenagers would probably find hard to fathom. Proper 1980s’ goths were scary — with their 18-hole Dr Martens, white faces and shiny PVC — while Cureheads were somewhat cuddly by comparison.
