 It's obvious to see that in this case, all the pro-darkwave people are using calm, reasoned arguments, whereas the anti-darkwave people are resorting to unprovoked name-calling, typing in all caps, and general examples of retardation. Someone is a 'fuckhead' because they don't agree with you on what genre a band belongs in? And no one who's not an aging goth is qualified to talk about music? I see. Good luck with that. I don't care if you blew Peter Murphy back in the 80's, this is a community that goes by consensus opinion and logical arguments, not your sole claimed expertise. 

 Anyway, like I said, the Darkwave article clearly states that it is NOT limited to 80's music. It's absolutely idiotic to argue that it is. Blaqk Audio aside, there are bands like La Floa Maldita, Thoushaltnot, Bella Morte, etc. that are constantly described as Darkwave. And even if you throw out all of the electro-goth stuff (which there is no basis for doing), you are still going to have to deal with the fact that Projekt Records continues to use the term for releases coming out today. 

 The only person that has even come close to giving any sort of valid argument is the one that claims that certain albums by The Cruxshadows and Wolfsheim are darkwave and some aren't. But I'll have to go go with Xr 1 in this case: who are you to say which albums are and aren't representative? And yes, The Cruxshadows are described only as Darkwave. If some of their albums weren't Darkwave, they would be described as something else. They're not.
