In this week's episode of We Have A Technical, we're jumping off from a discussion Bruce had last week with our friends at Cemetery Confessions in order to examine the idea of the goth-industrial club format. A marriage of necessity? One which yielded productive hybridization? Is it of use or salience today? Was it ever? We're touching upon all of this, as well as the death of legendary engineer Steve Albini and some Sisters touring news.
Why did goths change the way they interacted with outsiders after Columbine, why was fashion of the time starkly different from today, why was gatekeeping part of the scene in the first place, and why weren't goths allowed to smile before 2010. All this and more as we walk through the story of goth in the late 90's and early 2000's with a panel of goths who lived through it. Our guests this month are Jessie Meowser, Jessica and Bruce Lord.
