pardon me im goth but im not associated with THOSE goths <3 (the ones trying to gatekeep people identifying with a label that has been thrown around by pop culture to describe anybody who wears black for the past 4+ decades)

#y'all are so annoying i swear to god.#gatekeeping alt culture of any kind is just pathetic. it's like saying someone can't be involved in grunge unless they love mudhoney #(i do love mudhoney and goth music too for that matter but it's beside the point)#Just bc the subculture has origins in or deep ties to a music scene doesn't mean you should be pushing out everybody who doesn't like it #it has more things to it than just that and it's not wrong of people to only want to engage w those lmao it's literally just preference #you guys sound like tht man who accosted a girl wearing a misfits shirt in a record store & called her out for not really listening to them #jesus get a life
