[kj] OT: somewhat rapturous Bauhaus CD review...

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Thanks Oliver I have seen that awhile back. 
 
It is funny for it is all punk but a slower version of H.C. I did not even  
know Emocore was around until I called the college radio station KXLU in the  
90's and the DJ explained it to me. The First thing I said is that a new type 
of  Goth? LOL! I am a big Washington D.C. punk fan and have been following what 
 bands were coming up in DC Land since I first heard Government Issue's  
"Legless Bull" ep. late in 1981. When Marginal Man, Gray Matter, Rites of  Spring, 
Embrace, Soulside, Ignition, and countless others were hitting the  scene  
from 1984-1988 it was still all punk to me. Funny how one  magazine can label 
music and destroy something that is good and be so far  fetched.

I'll be  forever amazed at how "emo," which I always understood to be a 
mid-80s  post-punk musical movement, came to be conflated with "goth." A 
few years  ago on a discussion forum someone said, "Just you wait, 
they'll come up  with a way to combine emo with goth, and it'll be called 
goth-mo or some  shit." Looks like that really did happen.

This is Ian MacKaye of Minor  Threat expaining, derisively, "emo," in ...  
1986:

Now,  how what he is describing would come to mean eyeliner, a black 80s 
skater  flop, bangs-over-one-eye hairdo, etc., is beyond me. Basically, 
America's  cultural stewards need to be sent to the gas ovens, because 
whoever is in  charge of steering this shit has no idea what they're  doing.
