I've got a mate who runs a label in the Goth/Industrial scene, he's pretty clued up with his market.
He say's that the whole "goth" scene is a load of bollocks because it's "fashionable" to be a part of.
The goth nights are really busy, but because it is fashion led no one actually buys the records.
i.e. proper shite for all who try to make that sort of music, so it could be a lot worse!
Lesson learned?

Keep it Underground!
