(no subject)

I'm making an entry with a new LJ client called semagic.. this one looks like the old windows client I've used all along but I can format to my hearts content with semagic.
I slept well last night thanks to generic nyquil & psuedoef and i feel a little better today. anyhow i don't have much to say now i just wanted to try out semagic. so here goes...

atlanta goth, why do i even bother...

Ok Blu, I *knew* there was a reason I haven't gone to many events in the Atlanta Goth scene. See a discussion started (again) about the apparent stagnant ATL scene on the atlgoth mailing list. I didn't start it, but I offered my opinions several posts later, and did so nicely and I thought respectfully. I sure as hell wasn't bitchy toward anyone.

My points were these.. I'm fine with their being a successful ebm night here, but since others have complained so much about nobody going to shows and clubs anymore I said that I am waiting for a night with different music becuase I'm more than burned out on EBM. ok welll maybe i worded that strongly, I said I'd rather push bamboo shoots under my nails than listen to one more set of ebm/techno/rivet again. But still I wasn't commenting on anyone's tastes, just my own preference.
I wondered why the existing scene ignores so many good gothic-rock, deathrock/postpunk bands, too. The only bands I see on atlanatagoth.net are established EBM/rivet groups like Neubauten, Rammstien and Cruxshadows. No mention of Myssouri, Phantom Limbs, Ghoultown, Prids, Turn Pale, ect.. So I was like, what harm can come from co-promoting these bands along with electro bands.

Two people wrote back both saying that I had no business complaining, they'd only seen me at one event, it's *their* scene, i should stop whining and do something, blah fucking blah.

One of these people I'd supposedly met a couple of weeks ago at a private party, and she wasn't -so- bitchy, but god knows who the other person was becuase I sure as Fuck don't want to ever meet that asshole in RL. So much for expressing one's opinion peacefully.

Another girl was attacked for mentioning that she couldn't make it out on weeknights due to work! And these fucking losers complain about nobody coming to their underattended ebm shows, brunch/desserts, Private parties (gee.. what better way to turn people off than talk about private invatation only events onlist that most people won't get invited to) & their crappy fetishgoth nights. Fucking die!

Why can't I meet nice people here that dig the same music I do? Or am I just being oversensitive and not giving people a chance??
