I'd rather go see Tragic Black live than see [again] a Futurepop-Industrial show with Stromkern. And for the record, I dress in 3 specific Gothic fashion styles. Among 1 of them is the Deathrock [or Oldschool Gothic] style. This is what I'm confortable with. In a way, it's my way of staying in touch with my Punk roots. I see the Deathrock style [in music & in fashion] as being no different from the Undead/Son Of Sam/Misfits/Samhain/Order Of The Fly approach to Hardcore Punk ["Horror Punk"]. Feel free to dispute this if you want.

I,too,would rather attend a deathrock show than have to sit through one that is futurepop in nature. I have always considered Samhain/Miusfits to be deathrock in nature, so I don't disagree witht that at all. Samhain is one of my all time favorite bands and I wish Glenn would have made more of that music.
