Why the hell do you even hang out on this site then?

Oh, and if by "cool" you mean "a retarded troll who does nothing but verbally masturbate on the internet," then yes, you are certainly that.

I come here because I have nothing better to do. And 'cuz there's some hot chicks. But mostly the first thing.

I thought you had loads to do!

Still, you make this place bearable amidst all the anality. Anality? I meant banality. haha.

Well, we have Anality too sometimes ;D

I would like to point out Viscus that though you say Goth means that you listen to Goth Rock, Deathrock and Goth Rock are technically two separate entities, and yet nobody bats an eyelid when a Goth talks about their favourite Deathrock bands.

Goth is an expansive genre in the same way that Metal is. Combichrist and Bauhaus have nothing in common, but neither do Cannibal Corpse and Judas Priest. They're both still Metal.

JCC -

Good point. I was just about to say that.

Also, again, classifying and sub-classifying music after the fact is rather silly IMHO.

It's like classifying art. Post-modern impressionism versus say early pointlilism. At the time they were just modern-art.

Much of the EBM and other sub-genres people are going on about here at the time were just 'goth'. Those of us who grew up listening to these bands and watching them play live saw them at goth clubs.

Now a decade or so later people want to pigeon hole them in little categories for some reason and say they aren't 'goth', but your dismissing the fact these bands played goth clubs back when goth was a larger culture, on goth labels.

This stems from record labels trying to compare their new shite acts to classic artists.
