I definitely agree with this post, and it's exactly the reason why I haven't been to a goth club in years. I got really annoyed with the pretentious people who only play dress up as a way to get laid on the weekends. Most of them had no clue who half of the goth bands were that I would mention in casual conversation. Besides, I'm too much of a crazy bitch for most of those people to handle. They also don't share my morbid sense of humor or my love of black metal and death metal... and none of them would ever be caught drinking beer and screaming Einherjer lyrics.

Some real goth bands that I actually listen to: The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, London After Midnight, Autumn (and I'm not talking about that European doom metal band here... I'm talking about the Autumn from the U.S. that plays goth), Mors Syphilitica, Switchblade Symphony, Clan of Xymox, Sunshine Blind, Corpus Delicti, etc.
