To me VNV Nation is one of the best Electronic Bands out there(well, they're a duo). Of course, people are not going to agree and will say so. No big deal there.

Then, there's this. "SimRonan" (Ronan Harris is the lead singer of VNV Nation), claims to be a parody and basically exists to say "DOWN WITH VNV NATION!" It's supposed to be funny, but it's not. It's just wanky, but the comments to "SimRonan" are amusing as hell to watch and every bit as wanky.

Someone on the VNV Nation Yahoo Group said:

"Like everything else, there will always be some percentage of the
population that will be anti-something. And they will see the need
to publicly bash whatever it is that they don't like. It's best to
just ignore it as infuriating/annoying as it is. All they want is
attention. "

Yea, but stuff like this is FUN!

most of the wank comes from the endless circular debates about what constitutes "real" industrial. Because god knows, goths never met a music genre they couldn't debate into the ground.

Oh god, yea! That is true! But, I'm pretty certain that VNV Nation isn't industrial. That's one of the debates too.

VNV Nation is industrial.
No! They're synthpop!

I don't agree with either of the above. I do consider them EBM or just Electronic. Bleagh. Whatever. :D I just love them.

This is why I'm the kind of goth that'll flip you off and listen to the Strokes on my headphones while all gothed out.

Okay, and because I love implicit irony.

I find REM is much more offensive in that regard.

anything that looks like the musicians only threw on what was clean, really.

and that's not a dig at VNV, because I'm also a snivelling fangirl. But with those alt-rock bands, well...they're so...hairy...and unkempt...and their clothes have holes that weren't intentionally ripped there...:shudder:.

Once upon a time, there was a fake!journal of Ronan, only without cheeseburgers.

The funny bits were the angry comments by goths horrified at someone making fun of their idol.

Ronan Harris. The Clay Aiken of EBM?
