[edit] Darkwave

Not to start the same debate here, but it makes no sense to use a European term unused in the UK at the time for a British band. They tend to be associated with the Goth scene, but they started earlier and were more poppy. Safest just to describe them as a post-punk band. Donnacha 15:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Despite having been a minor band, they were famous even outside UK, in Countries in which the term Darkwave was used; and until I will not have the chance to talk with some British friends aged 38/42 years, I am not going to believe you: sorry, there is nothing personal, I assume good faith. According to my sources both the names were used, but "dark" was predominant to describe the scene, and also the mood of some bands. Hopefully some of these bands will release interviews on the past years. I would like that the couple of term Darkwave/Gothic rock will stay togeher in such kind of pages for now.

This is completely beside the point. They're a UK band, it's ridiculous to use a term that was not in use in the UK at the time. Donnacha 10:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK English

What's this nonsense? There is no "preference" about the words band or group, some say is, some say are. Donnacha 22:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
