Dangerous youth cults

Filed under: Meejah, Music — and written by Bertie @ 6:47 am

In another visit of the d’uhhr monkey to T’Grauniad, the ever-desperate to be published Dave Simpson writes that ex-Goths are likely to be lawyers, meejah types and other professionals. And therefore that parents shouldn’t be frightened of this particualr youth craze.

Apart from the fact that parents today were probably punks or summat worse (bobby-soxers?). its alwasy been the case the gothdom has been relentlessly middle-class. The fact that middle-class kids get to be professionals is hardly news.

And Simpson gets in another quote from main man of Leeds indie music, Choque Hosein. I count that to be the third mention of his name in Simpson’s articles this year. While a lovely guy, his label isn’t that important. Anyone who brought Black Wire to us deserves an occasional kicking.
