having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer
Love goth culture but not really loving this prevalent shift into distinct gender presentation that’s developed as its become accepted in society. Or the… I guess gentrification is the wrong word.
Like. You remember goths with huge ratty hair and KISS makeup and men in heels and corsets and women in huge shapeless sweaters till you couldn’t tell who was under what? Remember when the clothes were hand-shredded from the thrift store for five dollars and some spit?
My first black lipstick was eyeliner. What’s this Women Get Crop Tops Only For $60 crap. What’s this Being Goth Too Expensive shit. Girl draw ur nails on with sharpie and embrace damnation wtfff
Alt fashion being gentrified (which is the right word, you nailed it) is the most bullshit thing. My forebears didn’t thrift/shoplift leather and jeans and hold their clothes together with pins and dye their hair together at whoever’s house had a sink sprayer just so modern punks could lament the cost of a good battle jacket and ripped pair of off-the-rack jeans like! Girl!! Rip them yourself!! Throw box dye in your hair and leave it on for an hour before rinsing in the sink!! Keep your jeans for so long they tear THEN pin that shit together!! The entire point was that we didn’t contribute to the capitalist machine by buying new things!!
All male polycule constantly chainsmoking wearing sunglasses and only contacting each other through payphones and when they do they speak in incomprehensible syntax and talk about situations completely unrelated to what the other is talking about
