CRIMEWAVE: A GOTH, POST-PUNK & DARKWAVE PARTY
Goth night is a misleading name for what this actually is, because most of the room is not in costume and the few who are have been doing it since well before it was a look. This is a dance floor for people whose favorite songs are all in minor keys and all about leaving. Post-punk, darkwave, the colder end of new wave - music made by people who were sad in a very particular European way around 1981, played loud enough in a San Diego bar that being sad turns into a group activity. The regulars arrive late and stay through the last song. There is no dress code and there is absolutely a dress code. Half past nine on Saturday at the bar on El Cajon Boulevard, around $19. San Diego keeps three or four of these nights running at once, and more or less the same faces rotate between all of them.
