Horrible Old Industrial Music

I still have one pair of the UFO pants and the 40" pants somewhere at my mom's place. I held on to them because I figure by the time I have kids, they might want the genuine article for a Halloween costume or maybe their generation's disco mixer. Or maybe just to dig out and laugh at what a dork their dad was.

i just wore black tshirts with hp lovecraft nonsense on them and band tshirts and stuff. i never did any makeup or huge stupid pants or leather or any of the more elaborate crap.

i still have/wear this one lovecraft shirt, even. its got a little logo on the front that says Whateley's Brewhaus with a dancing satyr and on the back its got a big logo for Arkham Pale Ale. i would buy this beer if it was an actual thing. i used to have one for Innsmouth Stout too but i lost it over the years.

snap i found the logos online

Oh, fuck. I remember a hatred bordering on bloodlust. I always associated it with nu-metal rather than goth, for some reason.

Mostly ICP fans.

Generally with us it was the skater kids, really
(now that I think about it, gothkid was like ages 14-15; by the time I was 16 I threw out the black eyeliner and picked up the giant pants)

Jncos were most popular at that particular place in the culture where nu-metal and goth merged. The remnants of that subculture still really like big pants, too, only they've now merged Jncos and bondage pants into these things:



...which a significant contingent of the suburban Hot Topic types where I live are all about.

I'm going to need personal pics to accompany this thread.

I don't have any at my house with the big pants.

But I do have this, the aforementioned Halloween picture

Can someone tell me how to pronounce "Jnco"?  It's much better than what I've been saying, which is "remember those ridiculous pants"

[andronicus]

you're the best, mixed cats.

[davy]

I've been thinking "junko," but I'm biased.

I always pronounced it /'ʤeŋkou/, which come to think of it is actually quite odd, because /e/ is not a vowel that usually shows up in English (certainly not my English) and yet there it was, halfway between /ɛ/ and /i/, in super-huge pants.

[Andrew_TSKS]

I don't know WTF coldforge just said, but yeah, it's pronounced jinco, like there's an "i" between the first two letters.
