Now Spooky really can't be considered goth in the slightest ;)

I used to be a goth. How lame...

well you have outed yourself.

I tend to do that. But honestly I was a bit of a geek, I used to pretend I was depressed.:\ohwell:

Oh you've reminded me now of my own club cavorting and sightings. Yeah, it's a beholding to see a gothic hedge do-si-do and sing along to True Faith, as well.

The times I should have had a video camera late at night.

If New Order are considered "goth" then the soddin' Pet Shop Boys are positively grindcore!

Rude wanker.

Encourage debate.

Thought it was fairly moderate question myself. Being rude would be, for example "why the chuff would anyone think they were a set of miserable buggers who played crap music and wanted to attract a set of teen angst types who walked around looking like a cross between Edward Scissorhands and something from Carry on Screaming?"

Surely further debate was being encouraged through the use of an open question rather than abuse followed by a statement/instruction?

I've never thought of NO as goth, they could almost be the anti-goth. JD, maybe possibly. But they were more of an influential band than being goth themselves, the style's different.

i'm goth and like new order. what does that mean?

means ur a goth who likes new order

New Order are not GOTH.

I used to like Goth, Sisters, Mission et all.(I even went to see Fields of the Nephilim once in London whic was pretty awesome at the time.)

But New Order are not GOTH. How could anyone think they were? Totally different sound and there appears to be no dress code with moshing down the front at NO gigs.

:bag:

Not goth. Though they are both bands that the "goth" culture has adopted as their own. I hear them at the bar all the time, even when I don't request 'em ;) haha

No way are they goth

use to dj at goth clubs all i played was no/jd

played d.a.f once and the fall

those two did not go down well neither did Alien Sex Fiend and there always called goth (my person opion is they were some bizaare mix of electro and rockabilly)

I read the best definition of Goth:

-Savage and Rude -Loves Nature -Loves Change -Disturbed Imagination -Stubborn -Excessive

Funny, on iTunes they have a huge Goth iTunes Essentials list and New Order are all over it.

Bizarre Love Triangle? Goth?!?!!

What's a chav anyway?

Movement (Doubts Even Here, Truth, Senses and The Him)

Aside from that....

At least they did not go with the white makeup and lipstick!!

Let's see,

love of disco, night clubs, and getting of their heads - check, recorded football song - check, wear Stone Island, and sometimes act a bit lairy - check

Goth how???????????????????????????????

If anything they're anti-goth

Well, I saw NO and some weeks later Bauhaus, and when I read this fist image that came throught my mind was Peter Murphy throwing roses and then Bernard Sumner twisting his hips ... And I like both versions of Transmission

well...studies do show that goths have a higher suicide rate than other teenagers, and ian did commit suicide.

nah, i'm just talking out of my arse.
