Wow. I wonder how that started.
In Jakarta there are only few of people in general know about goth or punk or any other alternative subculture for that matter. Yes we all know about so-called 'punk' bands like Blink 182, Green Day, and such. Hell, you ask people whether they know who the Sex Pistols were, I bet you can count people who do know by fingers, let alone SoM or Bauhaus.
It's like, people know about goths, but only up to the context where the people wear black, pierce themselves on many places on their body, wear eyeliner. .
Maybe some know more, but there aren't so many and the chances that you'll see them in the malls or streets are like twice in a lifetime.
Hi Cicero dear, when are you coming to Melbourne?
