Yes, bauhaus is pretty damned white.


I have to admit that I prefer Love and Rockets.


Tones On Tail gets my vote for best Bauhaus-associated band.

Wikipedia tells me Love and Rockets is an English alternative rock band formed in 1985 by former Bauhaus members.

As far as Asians go (who are arguably whiter than white in many respects), I am pretty damned white myself, and even I am not white enough to command a knowledge of obscure 80's alternative rock bands.

That must mean you are pretty damned Asian.


Not particularly obscure, Foo. Their most popular song hit no. 3 on the Billboard charts.

Also, can someone define ConTrad for me?

If you have to ask, you are probably ConTrad.

I will admit to doing the 80's white man dance to Ball of Confusion on multiple occasions as a teenager.

I'm sad you'd all rather talk about old people music than bespoke rugs made by little old women in mountain villages.

I tried to talk about ConTrad, but you dissed me (or, so I gather...)

I don't recognize anyone posting in MW any more.


I thought it was just me. That's reassuring, I guess.

Huh? The 80s is the 60's of the new millennium. Plus, they play all this music in department stores and elevators and stuff.

What are you smoking? Asians are almost exclusively ConTrad. Except for real Asians. They sleep on the floor and use paper for walls.


I dunno about this. When I was growing up, Korean families who clawed their way up to middle class status (or higher) often furnished their homes with bizarre fake rococo furniture that was ostensibly made in Italy. That stuff was neither con nor trad.

Foo wins again. I can't stand kilims. They always seem ostentatiously 8-bit

Don't worry about it too much. ConTrad is a label for "Contemporary Traditional" that Foo made up trying to ape Manton's conservative business dress threak, except for interior design. He's got a thread about it.

There is one key difference between Manton's conservative business dress thread and this one.
