No Ozzfest, is goth dead?

Filed under: Style in the News, Vintage and Retro


Stock prices for Chain Wallets R' Us are plummeting on the news that Ozzy and company are not taking their metal showcase on the road. Instead, this year's Ozzfest is going to be a 1-day only event in Dallas' Pizza Hut Park -- we've never even heard of this place.

Here's the big question: without an Ozzfest tour, what's going to happen to goth fashion in this country? How will the interest in skulls, dragons and lightning bolts be kept alive for future generations? It doesn't seem like there's any other metal event that comes close to the magnitude of Ozzfest. We've even noticed that Hot Topic is starting to look like it wants to be Urban Outfitters.

Not that we're big fans of Ozzy or the tour, but this seems like it is going to send shockwaves through the leather pants industry. Are we losing yet another segment of rock fashion? Guess goth kids will have to get season passes to the renaissance fair.
