I'm gonna go ahead and dissent and say that it does, because as much as we may still have the recorded music, the subculture surrounding it melted into the amorphous mass of 'gothic subculture' such as it is today, which is in places informed by the literary genre.

ALSO LET'S NOT FORGET THAT BAUHUAS REFERENCED THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY IN HONEYMOON CROON.

Ooooooh...
