Is HIM goth?

No, HIM is not a goth band, because they play Alternative/Hard Rock, while goth music consists of Gothic Rock and its derived genres, like Deathrock, Darkwave, Ethereal Wave, and Coldwave.

However, their music does show some goth influences and could be considered adjacent to the goth scene.

If you want to dive into the goth music scene, some of the bands that might appeal to you if you enjoy HIM are Love Like Blood, Rosetta Stone, and The Sisters of Mercy.
