Definitions
A devoted fan of the English post-punk and gothic rock band The Cure, known for their swooping dark hair, black eyeliner, pale skin, and an aesthetic that defined an entire subculture. Cureheads embraced the band's gothic romanticism and emotional intensity with a dedication that went beyond mere fandom into lifestyle territory. The term is used with pride by fans and with gentle affection by outsiders — unlike some fan-tribe labels, it carries little derision and mostly evokes the iconic look of The Cure's mid-1980s heyday.
She'd been a curehead since she was fifteen — the vinyl collection, the black lipstick, and 'Disintegration' on repeat told the whole story.
