Query: why goth sucks

Once upon a time, Clan of Xymox used to be a unique and interesting dark electro-pop band; now they're satisfied with sounding like every other two-bit goth band out there [if you'd have told me that most of these songs were by Love Like Blood, I'd have believed it]. The lead singer has such a wonderful voice. It's a shame he feels he needs to hide it behind the requisite Andrew Eldritch growl. This is the reason goth sucks: yes, Bauhaus was a good band; yes, Sisters of Mercy was a good band; but there can be so much *more*, and there used to be, at least, in Clan of Xymox. When every new band only strives for mediocrity and knocking off one or two good bands from fifteen or twenty years ago, there's something wrong with the genre. Can you say stagnation, boys and girls?
