to the punk sound melodical notes, keyboardsm synthetizers and technology,
in a real musical reengineering. The lyrics are more architected, talking
about imposible love, acid and dream experiences, mind deliriums and mainly
mentioning famous poets like the French Baudelaire. On the 90's, with
more world liberation, the Gothics started to be engaged to the GLS (Gays-Lesbian-Synphatizers)
