The dark return of Britain’s spookiest subculture

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Not their best attempt at this traditional annual article from the Guardian, as I somewhat testily pointed out in their comments.

Oh dear.

apart from the not-marc-almond soft cell guy saying -and rightly so- that Leeds was the goth capital (the only time that the city is mentioned in the whole article) the rest is all the bell-end "bat-cave" poseurs, talking about the scene as if it was a phase they were going through and have since disassociated themselves from. oh and that 29-year old dumb cunt at the end -someone born AFTER The Sisters stopped releasing records- saying that the young generation have nothing to fear from bullies; which, apart from being incredibly insulting to the life and death of Sophie Lancaster, is in utter ignorance of the internal bullying that the younger members of the scene have to endure from people telling "what is and what isnt goth". what a load of bollocks.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
