It's the thread that had to be made.

Leeds in the UK. March Violets sold out the reunion gig very quickly the other month.

Nottingham still has a goth scene too.

I only spent a couple nights in Birmingham, but sure enough, there was a whole lotta raggae in one of the very few pubs I caroused through (and spilled an entire pint of beer).

Is Texas filled with goth kids or do I just think this because of the Pain Teens?

Mexico City. The only city where Human Drama and Londor After Midnight are superstars.

Detroit has always been a big goth town...(I imagine the Leland City Club still pulls 'em in)...

Gothenburg.

Various cities in Florida have sizable goth populations. And there is nothing funnier than black-clad goth kids in hot & sunny Florida.

Also possibly Riga, since Latvian is apparently the closest you get to Gothic language these days. :)

I'll bet there's nary a large city anywhere that doesn't have some kind of goth contingent...

Bauhaus have so much to answer for...

Leeds = Sisters, March Violets, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry

Portland is the original home of the "hippie-goth" hybrid. Not sure if they exist elsewhere.

We also had Convergence 13 fest last year. Strangely enough, I played it. And I'm only goth on the inside.
