Flea-dance tips

I am working on a little piece (more or less) about gesture in Roman public speaking but my brain juice is flagging on this, the last day of the working week. So I present instead Planearium's improved South Park character generator (with a tip of my coachman's hat to Agent Bedhead).
Which brings me to this contentious South Park clip: Goth or not goth?

I'd have expected more comments on this given the bevy of darklings on your myspace page. Perhaps they only read things there?
Oddly, I've only just recently seen that Southpark clip. It's interesting in that I've noticed. More so from country to country. Atlanta's Goths are used to more floor space and we tend to use it. Other towns aren't as spacious with their dance floors (or their scene is more populous) and so they're more given to a compact dancing style. Germany's goths, at least those in Munich were given to a very strange style. With various inhabitants of the dance floor moving almost lockstep back and forth with each other in a very stomping flowing sort of forwards and backwards like march (much like their armies in Europe perhaps?). I've heard this was referred to as the Nixon by some, but I'm not sure of the accuracy of that appellation.
