The problem you have manny is that you can't separate the music from
the scene. Goth existed in pittsburgh before you put on a show. You
didn't create the scene. You may have shown that there was a valid
market for goth music shows in pittsburgh - but that was only possible
because the goths were already there.

Does it matter? No.
