#also agree that gentrification isnt the appropriate word for this

So many DIY tips for alt fashion just do not work for fat people lol. I guarantee you there are no size tights I can buy in a regular storefront that will fit my body, and y'all don't want us to like, go to Torrid or something, so that's out. Getting clothes from a thrift store in my size would not lead to an identifiably alt outfit (in fact, I would look like I grave-robbed somebody's nana). And all my jeans rip in the crotch before they ever rip anywhere else. 🙃

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
