Dark Wave

People that dress gothic industrial (example: bondage pants or straight jacket, make up both male and female, clothes colour like blue or black or white, usually long hair, hand cuffs or bondage props). Hair spikey or like a mop. NOT SATANIC!!!

Prefer music to industrial with a fusion of symphony (gothic): The Cruxshadows, The Birthday Massacre and others.

Dark Wave is not: NIN, Marilyn Manson or Covenant.

Dark Wave people would look like from "silent hill" or another industrial factory/asylum type horror theme.

Attitude: Fun "chuckle" or "lol", weird expressions like "locked and grin" style looks but keep to themselfs and treat others equally.

Clan of Xymox and Cruxshadows is Darkwave. Evanescence only wants to be.
