Collapsing New People

I think this is a tongue in cheek critique of the goth scene. First of all, Collapsing New People is a pisstake on "collapsing new buildings" which is what Einsturzende Neubauten translates to. It makes reference to the lengths goths go to achieve their look "hours of preparation to get that wasted look". However, I believe this critique is just meant as either good humour [Fad Gad being quite popular in early goth circles] or perhaps trying to break away from the pigeonhole of being associated with the 'goth scene'. [many prominent goth bands have attempted this, see: Andrew Eldrich] Also, the term goth itself was rather amusing during that time as it was apparently originally referencing a few UK Batcave regulars who lived in a building called Visigoth Towers.

Clearly the words relate to vampires, though my idea was that they were moreso "social vampires", clinging or 'collapsing' people to achieve their goals. However, the two verses "Takes hours of preparations; To get that wasted look" could refer to goths somehow, i dunno.

A great and very unique sounding alternative band, right here.

Definitely vampires of some sort.
