Amen.

So, following that logic, does that mean Palmer Eldritch is a goff then? Which would make the Phillip K. Dick novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch a gothic novel, rather than a sci-fi/futuristic novel?

For me, around the Vision Thing era, they seemed to take the 80's hair metal, mix it with Eldo's own sensiblities. Lo and behold, the album could almost be considered 'goff metal' (hate that tag but you get the jist of it).

FALAA, at times, sounds like Joy Division but I never considered them goff.

Floodland is a proper pop album.

Well?

I never saw them drink snakebite and black in the Fav, so a No from me.

NO.

They are intellectual love gods. And a rock n roll band.

But the followers are mostly goff

Speak for yourself, I'm an aging trog lol, you've seen my musical taste in other threads and posts. I just happened to be at the wrong Uni and in the wrong pub in 1982 ha ha ha.

Oh yes I remember the story.

They´re not.

are so

Are not times a thousand, nah nah nah.

Well i'm not a goth, don't class myself as anything, and don't really fit into any slot, i'm just an oddball!
I don't consider The Sisters goth either, just utterly fabulous!
They can call themselves whatever they like as far as im concerned!
There, that's my two-penneth worth

No goth here. I do find it fascinating to people watch at gigs.

ok so "they're not goth". but they definitely were goth. when i was walking round in a leather jacket, cowboy hat, skin-tight jeans and/or shredded bleached jeans, with winkle-pickers and a paisley shirt -ie "goth fashion", so were the sisters! ok they were innovators and an inspiration fashion-wise and definitely wearing said outfits before me, but to "straight people" the only difference might have been that they should have know better being older. to your tv-smashing scum-reading lorry-driver they would have been "weirdoes and poofters" just like the rest of us goths.

and their music back then epitomises the quality end of "goth music"; hence it's popularity with goths and the endless imitations by 2nd, 3rd and mission-rate bands. the reptile house ep is as goth as it gets, with possibly only siamese twins by the cure and night shift by the banshees managing to sit on the same shelf.

Goth in denial.. Hmm who else do we know who isn't goth. No way not at all, no sir

I´m not a goth but a Sisters fan. And I´ve met a few people who ARE goths and Sisters fans. I would say basically the Sisters are not goth (as is not getting tired to clarify). But popular in the goth scene.

There words

I remember the back drainpipe jeans, leather, Paisley and bangles being worn by longhairs in Birkenhead and Liverpool before g*th was a twinkling in a music journalist's eye.

But isn't it goth to say you're not goth?

Doors, Zep, Purple, Velvets, Hawkwind, Lizzy, Loud Shirts, Leather... they were products of their generation, like me, so they're hippy scum! I did laugh when Von used it as a knowing aside.

Are The Sisters g*th or not?

Is this a question of epistemology? I'm not so good on epistemological questions.
