<<"Currently, who are those calling themselves goths?">>
silly me...
you are right, the current crop of chameleons
is no movement, but more of a visual collective
with an abundance of icons at their disposal.
they are far from iconoclasts ...
and taht
is the difference between andrew eldritch
( john perry...) and those who affect
the look, the posture. these dedicated
followers
of (a) fashion bleed, if they bleed at all,
on the surface alone.
waht you describe is mimetic, and transient.
i did cast my net too broadly,
in this instance, desecrated simply begat goth...
and lo,
not the high heeled spark of hypocrisy
so rife in '69 not altamont, or nixon, or manson,
or grey gardens, or pallenberg, or beefheart, or jones,
or stamp, or osborne, or levin, or previn, or anyone,
for taht matter.
so, yes it started long ago, but it didn't start like this.
this goth has no vision thing desending
and they play far away from any lucifer rising ... |
