I don't think there's a local scene where I moved to, it's very godfaggy here. The closest scene would be a leftoid city and fuck that noise, even the animal activist scene is just fucking intolerably political. I love me some Nachtmahr.
Old local scene was mixed and small, we'd all go to the same pub and it'd be different tables of different subcultures. Then Bodies would come on and everyone'd be shouting along. Closest pure goth scene was in brum, which is dominated by islam now. Best pure goth scene was in camden, which is dominated by islam now. There's a trend.
