It's true though it was only an NME thing. I remember everyone else being really (sometimes overly) supportive of all the bands and if you extend Goth to The Cramps, Gun Club, Banshees, the core 4AD stable, Birthday Party, Crime, early Nick Cave, The Cure etc etc (the list is fairly endless) then there is no end of great records. It's the flagship four - The Sisters, Mission, Nephs, Eves core - that hipsters seemed to take huge offence at. Especially those who valued their NME credentials. I remember people in the Manics and James camps in particular being really condescending the year The Sisters closed Reading. The whole "quite good for Goths" thing. Personally speaking my big problem with the Nephs was always the singing rather than the dressing up, with the Mish it was the songs and with the Eves it was everything except the guitar playing.
