I certainly don't despise The Cure. They're just a band that I've never been able to 'get'. The same goes for 99% of bands that fall into the whole 'Goth' category. Saying that, a number of my favourite bands (The Cramps, The Birthday Party) could be said to exist on its outer margins. Nobody brought up in the 80s could avoid Goth completely. It was impossible.
