goth-Pop just made my head explode

So I was going to be good and go to bed seeing as I have been incredibly sick lately and I have to work early in the morning but I needed to share this. The only way to describe this band Alice In Videoland is that it is Goth-pop.  I was just sitting here checking my mail, being a good little girl (I swear I was, i wasn't doing anything really bad) while watching the new Asleep by Dawn music Dvd I had just bought when this pops up.  My head could not comprehend the cheap "female-degrading-while-attempting-to-sound-empowered" type lyrics that most pop stars sing at some point but with a slight (very slight) gothy-industrial twist to it.   No seriously watch it.    I think we just found Christina Aquilara's little sister.



That drummer is a bit ridiculous also.

This video saddens me.

That Asleep by Dawn (a magazine that I have long respected for its taste and knowledge of the Goth/Industrial music culture) even thought to put that video under their name more than a little disgusts.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that bad on its own but that they are trying to pass that off as Goth is a little repugnant.  If they said they were main stream I might even congratulate them on their attempt at being a little different.  Not that they really succeeded but the effort is there.
