Yes, the music at gothic clubs is far too electronic, although I've found that my particular club plays better music much later at night. I enjoy darkwave, but not overly electronic dance music found at clubs. I think it's most popular among the scene to play dance music, as the scene includes people who only go to the club to dance. Image defines being metal to a degree; it isn't an important degree, but if you can look metal, it does have something to do with being metal. Besides, anything that results in generally unfavorable comments from metalheads is likely to be something that isn't metal. Funny, my Demonias are knee-high and a bit too cool. Too cool such that their steel plated heels are only good for stabbing me.
