Teen Gothic

We all made them. Hopefully you can laugh about them now. We have all had times where we honestly thought a band was goth due to inaccurate information. But I'm talking completely getting your wires crossed and drawing a false conclusion due to being new, ill-informed and a little naïve.

I'll go first. At one point when I was new I thought Robert Smith's band was The Smiths. Mr Smith and The Smiths it just makes sense, right? Lucky for me it was something I kept to myself and I learned better eventually. It may seem silly now but in 1996/97 if you didn't find the information and no one told you then you were on your own.

I also remember as a child (1988 or 89) mistaking Robert Smith for the singer from Simply Red (Mick Hucknall) as at one point they had a similar hairstyle. At least in the music magazine my sister had that I saw a photo of Mick in.

Any big newbie mistakes you remember?
