Hot take but I think minimalistic makeup and non-platform boots need to be normalized in the goth community. For those of us with sensory and motor differences something as simple as 2 inch platforms can feel like you're walking on stilts. Something as trivial as big eyeliner can take up to 45 mins to do symmetrically with dyspraxia (source: once I took an hour trying to get my eye makeup to look symmetrical). A lot of goth fashion is not accessible in the sense that it operates under the assumption that the wearer is able bodied, not even talking about shoes specifically but rather the extreme amount of buckles and laces that many designers add without another way to fasten them, like a zipper for laced items. Even companies that do focus on accessibility stop at making tagless non-polyester pieces and don't put any attention towards those with issues beyond hypersensitivity. I would also like to see some company come out with larger, sharper eyeliner stamps to make more elaborate makeup more accessible. Regardless, nobody is less goth for having less detailed makeup. Nobody is less goth for wearing black vans instead of 3 inch demonias. It's about having the style while also making things functional for *your* life.

The passenger Song written by Iggy pop and Ricky Gardiner, recorded and released by Iggy pop on their 1977 album Lust for life. I personally prefer the song sung by Siouxsie Sioux, because I find her voice more fitting.

Nightsweat I remembering coming across Nightsweat on TikTok a few months back when they had just released their single called Sanguine consequence. I immediately fell in love with the band and have been a fan ever since. I strongly suggest everyone to go check them out.
