Yes, the title of this song is Too Goth To Handle. It’s okay to be horrified.

EDIT: Since writing this something kind of strange has occurred. I commented on the above video over at the Tube and it had been taken down. No response, just deleted. I didn’t call her names and I wasn’t rude, I just pointed out that what she is doing is basically being unauthentic. She is using the goth trend to gain publicity. Could she be an industry plant of some sort? Has her producer pushed her into this? Interesting.

I stumbled upon the singer Indya this morning and my goodness am I intrigued. Why? Because this chick just reeks of cashing in on the whole ‘goth’ trend.

She has an album coming out called Leather And Lace. Gee, I wonder where she got that title from. Since I have no idea who this woman is I listened to an interview that she did with Kerrang and it is pretty telling. She said that she changed her sound and look for this album. Meaning that the woman is not a goth musician, and may even not be a fan of goth music. That is one of the main reasons why I think that she is just trying to cash in on goth being a trend. Her past history includes playing with Brit pop bands and the like and I couldn’t find any info tying her to any actual goth bands.

The music itself is okay but her vocal delivery is very sex kittenish which kind of throws the whole vibe into disarray. She kind of sounds like Gwen Stefani but without the vocal range. Basically she has a ‘pop-star’ kind of voice. The music and her voice don’t fit together very well. Plus, the lyrics are pretty awful and play into the whole ‘big tiddy goth girlfriend’ stereotype. She can put on sexy black clothing and sing about how she is too goth to handle, but as we all know wearing black clothing doesn’t automatically turn somebody into a goth.

It was only a matter of time before a pop musician tried this. Here is some advice I would like to give her. If you are going to treat goth as a costume so that you can make more money you do you, but don’t expect the actual subculture to be supportive of you. Just be yourself instead of latching on to a trend, you’ll have a more fruitful career.

EDIT 2: I found the lyrics of this song and I am in no way wrong.

[Intro]
Too goth to handle, too goth to handle
Too goth to handle, too goth to handle

[Verse]
Too goth to handle, too goth to handle
Too goth to handle, too goth to handle

The show is over, baby; meet me in the haters club
Too lost in sin to trick or treat you with this magic touch

[Chorus]
This deville’s out there screaming, raving, haunting (let’s get unholy, bitch)
I’ll send you down; I’m teasing (touch me now)
Embrace rejection, I’m possessing, I ain’t telling (I’m banging)
A sexed up little madame in black leather (I’m psycho)
Mistress of Mayhem, there’s no warning sign (I’m rebel)
I’ll vandalise you whеn you fantasise
I jumped the wall in thе church; I’m poison
Anti-social, paranoid, and…

[Guitar solo]

I’m keeping tabs on your car; I’m seething, jealous, raging, I’m a screaming mess (I’m a screaming mess)

[Verse]
Too goth to handle, too goth to handle
Too goth to handle, too goth to handle

I send condolences; your morbid fashion killed your mind
You hold the darkest secrets; you’re no saint; you can’t be mine

[Chorus]
I’m your worst nightmare; I’m bad karma; drama queen (I’m lavish)
I’ll send you down with your obsession; you can (lick it, bitch)
This velvet corset is too tight; I just can’t breathe in it (I’m tied up)
This gothic cross that’s on my fishnets you will never feel (you prick)
I’m paranormal activity on your mind
I got a letter here I hope your wife don’t find
I jumped the wall in the church; I’m poison
Anti-social, paranoid, and…

[Guitar solo]
