The turning point in the culture where the 80's leftovers gone goth really started to gross me out is when people started dressing in public as if they were at a hardcore bondage club.....
the guys in skirts movement was a real gross out too

Me and my friends never wore gross shyt like that

We wore nice clothes - suits, jeans w/ sweaters....gothic kids are gross little maggots dressed in vinyl

ITs like something went wrong
Then we had the birth of goth-industrial and such music earsores as new cleopatra records acts.....
There was a modern day sisters of mercy wanna be clone called Rosetta Stone I think....
and then we got these synthpop bitches that all want to be depeche mode but not nearly as good.
Goth/industrial mostly is made up of D grade acts who only try to emulate the classics (front 242, skinny puppy, etc...) except the kids look gross as hell on top of not sounding as good or original.
Capes, platform shoes and black lipstick is fucking tacky.
dog collars, chain-mail and scraped of fingernail polish makes me puke.
