I have such a love/hate relationship with Bela Lugosi's Dead because it is such a great song but I've listened to it 27383918w73738e8w82 times, and it's hella long. It is the epitome of a goth song, and a true spooky classic and every time I hear the start of that bassline I get excited and then I either dance like the goth kids from South Park or I give a dejected sigh and bob my head
To elaborate, it really bothers me that some goths and punks feel a desire to judge others based in their tastes in music or fashion. The entire point of any alternative subculture is to embrace individuality and self expression. To say that one band, one artist or clothing style is "less goth" and "less punk" is fucking insane. That's why the subculture is so great, people can unite under something a little more strange than the usual culture. So when the subculture turns in on itself and cannibalizes it's very members, then we have already lost. We all desire to embrace individuality and what we like and don't liek Sometimes I enjoy metal. Does that mean I can't be in the goth or punk subcultures? No, it just means that I have the creative maturity to enjoy other genres. besides In summary, fuck you if you tell someone they can't like something due to their subculture. Fuck you if you don't make others feel bad about what they like.
Like, god damn I’m sorry I don’t know the exact length of Peter Murphy’s 385th hair on his left testicle during the recording of In The Flat Field, Jesus christ I don’t know the exact syllable pronounced in during the 50th second of the 7th track on Only Theatre of Pain.
I'm a trans girl🥰 u need love ❤️❤️
i really hate how sexualised goth is, idc if a goth does sex work but i have a problem when people just use the label and aesthetic as a porn category if you get what i mean.
its watering down a rich subculture for the sake of gaining profit via gooners and thats really tragic imo.
this is probably gonna sound like gatekeeping to some but idc

Would any lolitas mind sharing their favourite offbrand lolita pieces? I want to show that you don’t have to drop a lot of money on brand to have a super cute coord.
Hand-me-down shoes, a vintage blouse, legwear from a lingerie shop, a novelty bag from the children’s section, a jacket that you cut up and repurposed into a skirt, hair accessories from Claires… whatever you have in your wardrobe.
I found it! Oh my god, I used to scour these websites as a teen. They all were posted sometime in the 90s and remained online into the early 2000s.
The Angelfire page is so terribly nostalgic. I used to go on goth Webrings and look at Tripod, Geocities, and Angelfire pages of other teens. I would leave a message on their guestbooks and had a nice conversation with a few (whom I sadly lost contact with). I love that Tumblr is the Angelfire of today as it allows you to share your interests and passions and find others who can join in your inner world.
Yet, I still miss the online Goth zines like Morbid Outlook and Gothic Preservation Society/Dark Culture Magazine. As a Black teen growing up in the ghetto these pages made me feel like I wasn’t alone.
