Anywho, Goth was rather mainstream in its hayday. Siouxsie and the Banshees had 13 Top40 hits and Bauhaus had one.
What's so wrong about pirate-themed crap?

Those were the non-goth hits. I know it sounds pretentious, but Siouxsie (along with the Cure) recorded hit singles separate from their full albums so they could keep the goth thing going while still having singles.
And pirate-themed crap is wrong because it's a fad! I've seen pirate-themed baby toys! Not only that, but now skulls are becoming lame! When things like skulls and pyramid belts become fashion statements in GAP-imitation-ads, they lose all their coolness.
