That is the greatest line ever written on this forum.
I've gotten to the point where I go out of my way to subtly guide newcomers. There's been a rash of newbies arriving at my command who latch onto me because I'm the only real alternative type here, and they profess to be 'goths' in a typical baby bat fashion. It use to be, I would snub them immediately, however I realized, many of them have the same interest as I, they just need direction and better music. Some surprise me though, like the one I ignored and then knocked on my barracks door the next day to ask if what I was listening to (at a high volume) was Ghost Dance (happened to be Spin the Wheel. I was surprise anyone knew them, as I had just D/L the album from Get Dead the previous day).
Sometimes, you never know. Maybe with a little more mentoring out there, we can reverse some of the onslaught of faddism in the culture.
