and what's trad goth? Sure anyone could be a tad goth is trad just another word for old?

Aye. It's how we distinguish from the children who think Goth is Korgs and Moogs and far too much PVC for a middle-aged gentleman.

What's Korgs and Moogs?

Traditional - popular, customary, regular, conformist, fixed, boring, uninteresting

Fallen at the first hurdle!

Thanks Tim! No wonder I didn't know!

No problem!

I like synthesizers, don't get me wrong - but it's a different kettle of piscines compared to the Doktor and distorted guitars, you dig?

Yeah I dig!

Yes, I must say, I don't like the "trad" prefix... even though it is used to describe a lot of the music I like. To me, goth (or more accurately post-punk) should be the antithesis of "trad" anything. It should make you go "what the hell is that?" when you first hear it. If you can do it by numbers, you're doing it wrong!

so the trad goths are just a bunch of bands with nothing in common what so ever.
but all the bands that get the mustard with them are labeled Gothic.

so Gothic = rip off ?

Gothic is a state of mind.

An gloomy, mentally unstable state of mind at that...

always rather liked the trad goth moniker... or Olde Goth
