Curve was an early nineties thing. Hangover from goth with a small g (my bloody valentine, cranes, cocteau twins etc) and a precursor to the girl pop-rock of the mid nineties such as garbage, echobelly, elastica, sleeper, with a dance influence (which was beginning to seep into the mainstream about that time), whilst others went sort of shoegazy like the inimitable Slowdive. Nothing strange about having a thing for Martha. How are you with Joanna Newsome, Scout Niblett and the like? Oh dear God, I've a generational difference, noooo, I'm a dinosaur!!
