I can imagine a group of dark lethargic kids playing catchy pop tunes but not moving on stage at all with the singer performing love songs and ballads ranging from soft mumbles to angry yells.

I just figured we'd create ourselves as a parody of the roles in your normal Boy-Band quintet:
- The wild child
- The heart throb
- The effeminate (ambiguously gay) one
- The bad boy
- The quiet reserved and vaguely mysterious one
Edit: on the note of ambiguously gay boy-band members, I was amazed when Lance Bass announced that he was coming out of the closet... I figured everyone realized he was gay. Hell, when I fist saw a pic of N*Sync, I was wondering what Ellen Degeneres was doing in a boy band.

Bad example, because they're all the ambiguously gay one!

No, no, you're not thinking in goth kid terms. Only the one with the purse is ambiguously gay by goth kid standards.

Holy crap. Another picture of those guys and they completely fit the roles I laid out. From left to right:
Quiet one; Effeminate/Ambiguously Gay; Bad Boy; Heart-throb; Wild Child
Although the the Quiet -- Effeminate ones ...and... Bad Boy -- Wild Child might be able to be flipped.

Quote from some show I saw recently:
"Yeah, I'd try the 'guyliner' thing if wasn't so worried about it smearing from the tears the first time someone called me 'faggot.'"

In goth you're not gay or even close to it even if you're wearing girl pants. I repeat...cross dressing is not gay in those social circles.
I don't get it either.

Yeah... but that guy's bowl cut has got to be.
Although the one bit of punk style I don't understand is the whole wearing pants that are too small for you.
As for goths and skirts... I did wear a skirt (well, it was a kilt, and I am Scottish) to the concert that spawned the only Swingin' goth-polka mosh floor.

Oh Lord, that is so upsetting. A watered down version of what the Cure looked like in '86. So lame. One of them (Wild Child) (shudder w/ douchechills) needs big high top sneakers like Robert Smith wore during that era.
I don't even dare to see what the music is like. I can tell that I'm now officially too old because I can't even stomach the whole hipster look thing. Thankfully, I'm too old for skinny jeans to even be an option.

How could I forget? 4 out of 5 of my college housemates played an instrument, and during our beer-fueled neighbor-annoying jam sessions, we always referred to ourselves as The Turgid Members.
We always figured our first album would be called Negative Pressure Flux as in "Envelope my turgid member in a negative pressure flux!"
