...at least that's what it seems like at the moment. That's all my friends and my bloke seem to enjoy. Went to see Ultraviolence at the weekend with my honey and the kids - T&S. Everyone had a fantastic time and thought they were awesome. Phyrephox danced his ass off. I stood near the front and desperately tried to see what everyone was enjoying.
The fat, middle-aged DJ in a skeleton outfit had a voice like razors on a rusty blackboard. Plus he was accompanied by an obvious chav dressed in autumn high-street goth. I was terribly unimpressed. It was kind of like being the only sober person in a room full of drunks. I just couldn't understand what all the fuss was about! Eventually my ears felt like they were about to explode so I went back to the bar and drank and lit up a cigarette. I was relieved to see that I was not the only one unimpressed by the performance. There were at least half a dozen very cool looking goths dressed in black leather who also seemed to be less than impressed.
So once again the night ended with me feeling very left out and extremely uncool. I wouldn't mind so much if we did something else for a change or had just one night out that didn't feature EBM. I know that there are clubs with different floors for different music but even if we went to one I'd just end up on my own. Plus they're allowed to dislike my taste in music but I have to 'learn' to like theirs. It makes me angry sometimes. I just wish there was a little give with the take. Am I a freak if I occasionally wish to listen to more guitar based music without the constant pounding of techno music? I would just like to sit in a nice, darkened, suitably gothic bar with a pint and a fag and watch the girl with the guitar on stage sing some powerful, beautiful lyrics and just chill for once. Okay? Is that allowed? Is it really asking for so much? The world would be pretty damn boring if we all liked the same thing all the bloody time!
Embrace diversity. You may well enjoy it. ![]()
Well I've had my little rant now. That's the great thing about blogging, its a pretty funky way to blow off steam. I love my man and our mates are cool. But just occasionally it helps to have a little rant....![]()
