Chibi looks like Siouxsie?

Written by jason on January 18, 2008 in goth, reviews.

The Washington Post reviews the latest album from electro-goth band The Birthday Massacre, somewhat favorably, and makes a rather odd comparison.

“Tattooed and black-maned, Chibi resembles ’70s goth pioneer Siouxsie Sioux.”

The funny thing is, and I don’t say this to insult either party, but Chibi looks nothing like post-punk/goth icon Siouxsie Sioux. I’m guessing that “looks like Siouxsie” is basic rock-journalism shorthand for “dresses in black” and “looks goth”. Which makes me wonder, is the male equivalent then “looks like Eldritch” or “looks like Peter Murphy”? Inquiring minds want to know!
