| | Goth Bothering, by Gavin Baddeley |
 | | Gavin Baddeley, author of "Goth Chic" (Plexus, London, 2002), a book about gothic culture, was recently asked by Metal Hammer magazine to write an article about goth and goth history to accompany an interview with Andrew Eldritch. |
 | | Essentially, Goth was perceived to be Middle Class, particularly by trendy London music journalists who, though thoroughly Middle Class themselves, were desperate to claim the street cred of being "Working Class heroes" and had a habit of imposing their self-loathing onto the Goth scene. |
 | | Meanwhile among Goths embattled traditionalists, Andrew Eldritch continued his ongoing futile feud with his fanbase, things reaching a head in 1997 when the Sisters were booked to headline the Dark Harvest festival in Philadelphia. |
