IMHO "Goth" is to "Trance" what "Industrial" to to Techno.

'Gothics' and 'Ravers' were both terms used in early modernism to describe
dispossessed intellectuals. Their reemergence shows not only the necessity
of their communication, but a reintergretation of early modernist
critical thinking, so badly diluted to positivistic irrationality and the
religious fundamentalism.

Here's to freedom.
