The Poor Man has taken me off his blogroll, but he stays on mine. I just can't remove a guy who writes like
this:
And before goth sucked … no, wait – goth always sucked. Actually, goth may have sucked the hardest in the eighties, the time when musicians decided that, in order to annoy parents in a new way, they wouldn’t play music really loud, or really fast, and they wouldn’t have lyrics about sex and drugs – they’d play it really boring, and sing about bats and Bela Legosi. It didn’t work. But it set the stage for pop goth, and industrial goth, and techno goth, and gothcore, so that we now have more words for shitty music than the Eskimos do for snow.
