That is correct

Elitism isn't dead.

Hmmm. I wonder now you've said that, if the person I was interacting with thought that I meant "you can't be a goth if you like the smiths". It would be a fair accusation of "elitism" if someone said that.

But it wasn't what I said. The Smiths were never a "goth" band (whatever that means). At least, they were never associated (as far as I know) with the goth "thing" at all while they were a going concern. Certainly none of the "goth nights" I went to in the 80s or 90s would ever have played them either.

No. The "she didn't play on the records" stuff is pure sophistry on Eldritch's part, and I wish people would quit it.

As for the "fat" "jokes", well they're just plain offensive.

abridged wrote: ↑13 Apr 2021, 15:52 Wonder why anyone think the Smiths were goth? Maudlin perhaps but not goth. Though I would have loved to have been there when they played on the same bill as the Sisters! I do like the Smiths though I don't listen to them as much as I used to. Morrissey going off his head hasn't helped either.

Thinking back to nights out in early 80's Leeds. If we were 'dancing' rather than 'drinking' we'd be at the Uni Thursday Bop, the Saturday Poly Disco, the Phono early in the week or the Warehouse if we felt rich after the Fav at the weekend. The Smiths were rarely, if ever, played as it tended to get too frantic and violence usually ensued. We'd also hit Brannigans or Scrumpies but they were mostly heavy rock places in those days and Leeds rockers didn't dance, they'd just headbang. The Phono was obviously the 'gothiest' in those days but nobody really called it goth, it was just alternative. They'd play new wave, punk, rock and 70s sleazy cheesy stuff as the bogs flooded. I'd hate to think that was the inspiration for Floodland.
