(also: progress on the new album is difficult)

Oh, just in case, The Lex: Robert Smith is the singer for renowned goth (or not) band The Cure.

This is Robert Smith:

LOL hello 1985

hahahahaha “How can we be goth?????? We have hits!”

NO GOTH (KEEP BUYING OUR ALBUMS THO ALRIGHT)

Presumably Not Goth in the same way he’s Not Fat.

GOTH OR NOTH?

“If Morrissey says not to eat meat, I’m going to eat meat...gnnaaaarrggghhhhh!”

your gothic daddy is nick cave, and you’re NOT GOTH, DAMMIT!!!

Take this quiz!

your gothic daddy is nick cave, and you’re NOT GOTH, DAMMIT!!!

518 other people got this result!

This quiz has been taken 12840 times.

50% of people had this result.

So... half of the population are noth goth?

Half of 12 thousand is 5 hundred?

It doesn’t say the quiz was taken 12840 times by people?

yeah, the actual goths are “other”

The biggest gothiest goths in the history of gothdom always insist they’re not goths. That’s part of what makes them so annoying.

Oh fuck it.

possible results:

Nick Cave

Diamanda Galas

Oscar Wilde

Robert Smith

wtf

heh, my gothic daddy is diamanda.

he may not be goth, but he certainly has girth

Looks like an Emo to me :)

Seriously, have ever any major act been willing to be associated with a particular genre they have been lumped into?

Not MAJOR major but the Nephilim didn’t object to the goth tag.

Every Mod Band, ever?

Seriously, have ever any major act been willing to be associated with a particular genre they have been lumped into?

Metallica (metal)

AC/DC (rock)

Avril Lavigne (teh punkrawx)

Robert Smith saying he’s not a goth is like a toad saying he’s...not a toad.

AC/DC have often been (wrongfully) lumped as heavy metal though.

“I find myself stopping short and thinking I’ve done this before and better.”

Robert Smith OTM

You know he’s not had a decent hit single since “Friday I’m in Love” which is quite shocking.

Although he is right. The Cure have never really been goth.
