During the second wave of goth, the term and the style became noticed in mainstream British publications like The Face and the [[NME]]. Goth fans developed [[fanzines]], and goth clubs began to spring up in imitation of London’s Batcave. The 1983 vampire-genre film “The Hunger”, starring David Bowie, featured an appearance by Bauhaus, which helped to cement the relationship between glam, horror, goth and [[mainstream]]. 4AD recording artists such as Clan of Xymox (who had a mainstream hit with “Imagination”), [[Dead Can Dance]], and the [[Cocteau Twins]] got US college radio airplay, and ‘first generation’ acts such as Siouxsie and the Banshees became the goth scene’s de facto spokespeople to the mainstream press. Others, such as [[Southern Death Cult]] and [[Death Cult]] evolved (see [[The Cult]]).

Several goth magazines were published, such as [[Propaganda (magazine)|Propaganda]]Goth zines split their direction in much the same way that the scene itself did. Earlier magazines such as [[Permission magazine|Permission]] were allied to the [[Punk rock|punk]] roots of goth and tended to veer towards [[industrial music]], while later magazines such as [[Carpe Noctem]] focused more on the lace-and-poetry romantic sound.
