"Oops, they went goth!" -- a little piece from Salon on the new Goth Lite craze among preteens, and what it might mean to them and their post-punk parents to try on such a world-weary, cynical look at all of 10 years old. It's a total nostalgia trip, too -- if you, like me, spent your time from about 1987 - 1991 wearing a lot of black and plaid, too much hair gel, earphones continually burbling with The Cure, Joy Division, and Jesus + Mary Chain, this will bring it all back. Note also the appearance of Emily the Strange, my little avatar.
