I got gothitude from a girl at Blanchard tonight. I realized I was just not artsy enough, even with the culmination of my
She was wearing torn-up fishnets and a band T-shirt. I found out Blanchard was hosting an 80's party, and I was acutely aware that I would probably have been offered the $2 admission, as opposed to the $3 admission for those not in costume. Alas, I am dated... no one remembers Christian Death -- Sex Drugs and Jesus Christ... or Switchblade Symphony -- Bad Trash... or even Specimen :) What do morose teenagers listen to these days? No one recognizes The Smiths or the Electric Hellfire Club/My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult, or even Siouxsie Sioux. I suspect, but do not know for certain, that depressed adolescents listen to emo now, and there is no equivalent to late 80's/early 90's goth kids... this is a tragedy, because Wet n' Wild, the cheap cosmetic company, enjoyed a boom back then because they offered $0.99 black nail polish and eyeliner; I can't afford more expensive cosmetics :(
