Has anyone read the book Cut My Hair? It's an absolutely amazing novel. Look it up on Amazon. Seriously. Go.
Anyway, onto deathrock related stuff. They make a few deathrock references in there. Stuff like, "We looked over to see a convertible filled with some deathrockers. They had an Alien Sex Fiend sticker on the bumper."
The main character starts out as adamantly against most goth music. xD He's at first convinced that the only good goth band to ever exist is Bauhaus.
Anyway, go look it up. I read it in a span of 13 hours. I seriously couldn't put it down.

I dislike bands that are exclusively goth rock other than Bauhaus and the Nephs, I seem to like bands who touch the dark and creepy subjects but are not in the genre of goth rock.

I read a bit online and the prose seems kind of..... meh. I'd rather read well-written fascist propaganda than interesting material in substandard format. I'll possibly check out the used book stores for it, though.
Hairstyles of the Damned was another punk coming-of-age novel I thought was pretty decent. It was kind of Salinger-esque in how the protagonist sympathetically evolves through the course of the book. I suppose I'd recommend that one.
As an aside, I searched "deathrock" on Amazon and it turned up a book called Go Ask Ogre: Letters of a Deathrock Cutter. It's apparently a collection of letters a girl sent the frontman of Skinny Puppy talking about suicide, and he eventually sent back to her. Interesting, but deathrock how?

Not many bands are exclusively Goth Rock, from what I've seen. A big part of the genre is creativity, so people are always mixing and mashing. Bauhaus, of course, are the originals, so they get away with it. And FotN are just amazing. :F

It's apparently a collection of letters a girl sent the frontman of Skinny Puppy talking about suicide, and he eventually sent back to her. Interesting, but deathrock how? I've read both of those, Hairstyles was good, but as far as the other I never got how an obsession with Ogre made her deathrock either. Some of the drawings were pretty interesting though. I think she mentions some deathrock bands in the book, but never really goes into detail and more often than not focuses on Skuppy. I think my favorite chapter in Hairstyles was the five page-long "******** you" list, I could identify with that, especially while in school. xd

My favorite part was where he shaved his head and started listening to Minor Threat instead of popular classic rock. I really disliked him at the beginning of the book because he was so bland and wishy-washy. He grew on me, though, as he evolved into someone with an actual personality.
Has anyone else read Storm Constantine? Apparently she's an avid enthusiast of the goth scene. Her most popular novel, Wraeththu, features poetry written by Valor.

I really disliked him at the beginning of the book because he was so bland and wishy-washy. He grew on me, though, as he evolved into someone with an actual personality. One of my favorite parts was when he tried to get into Gretchen's pants, I couldn't help chuckling even though I felt bad for him. And they never said the name of the band, but I'm pretty sure he went to a Goldfinger show because of the 99 Red Balloons reference. The Halloween party was a pretty good chapter as well, it really caught my eye when he mentioned Bauhaus, it would have been cool if he got into goth but I think the author ended it very well. Yeah, he was really bland at the beginning but then all of the sudden he gets into jazz and the Misfits and starts wearing his dads combat boots and stuff and by the end of the book the kid (forget his name >.<) was very easy to identify with, because almost everyone grows up listening to music they later feel is shitty and then kind of find their place as a teen and matures...well, kind of matures. Not to mention the parties, drugs, girls, etc, it was very well played out. I kind of wish I still went to Catholic school just so I could be a d**k to the teachers like he was. xd

I haven't read it, so I have no idea, but 7 Seconds has been covering that song a lot longer (and better) than Goldfinger.

I've seen them in the bookstore, but I never bothered checking them out. They didn't really look all that interesting. They are fantasy, but I find them pretty enjoyable. Admittedly, she probably has more female fans than male, no doubt due to her apparent fetish for male homoerotica. But she writes in a Victorian style that I'm quite fond of.

Ugh. Recently, every girl (and a few guys) in my school have been obsessing over that Twilight series, which I can't stand.
And nobody I ask knows what Interview With The Vampire is, except one who saw the ******** movie. crying
