#anti emo

[cruelestpoetryever]

It is so crazy to me how much t Swift haters are goth and emos but they all complain about getting "bullied", like well shit maybe if you didn't keep hating on one of the biggest anti bullying advocates in the entire world bullying wouldn't be such a problem anymore.

You had the patience of a saint with tumblr's resident hater of all things ""alt"" bc I stg if someone had told me the Bad Religion logo was "goth" and THEN shit on the Dead Kennedys i would have thrown hands. gods strongest soldier fr 🫡🫡🫡

lol I’m still like 65% sure she’s a troll. If she’s not, I am genuinely curious about her life experience. I’ve met some whackos in my 18 years on this planet, so I’m not ruling her out as a troll entirely, however, she never rly adds any new information, she has 3 talking points, and constantly dodges questions. Also, I refuse to believe that you can go your entire life without a single positive interaction with a HUGE group of people (ik she’s in like Portland or smthn so that could be a contributing factor). I live in the rural south and am very visibly alternative, and I still rarely have outright negative passing interactions with people. Yeah I might get picked on a bit at school or something, but it’s a pretty average amount of bullying for someone who looks and acts like me lol. I don’t think every single alternative person you’ve ever met is an asshole.

So yeah sorry for the wall of text, but I’m pretty sure she’s not for real. If she’s not an outright troll, she’s at least exaggerating a bit to piss people off. It’s entertaining lol. If she’s not I would love to study her. I think we as a species could learn a lot

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”

There is a genuine problem right now in online spaces of people refusing to respect the history of a subculture, as if every single person who's ever been goth or punk or emo before the invention of tiktok was wrong and now the correct way to be those things is by doing nothing to change your lifestyle, appearance, or ideals, but instead by repeating validating mantras to yourself: e.g., goth is what ever you want it to be; punk is whatever you, personally, already do, and requires nothing but a can-do attitude; emo is the same thing as being sad. I believe this phenomenon comes from hyper-capitalist and consumerist ideals, and it's hard to combat because it's often very left-leaning people who are interested in these alternative subcultures. the underlying capitalism of it all becomes invisible to the self-described anti-capitalist. simply being anti-capitalist is not enough to prevent oneself from a mindset of consumerism--the proof is in the repeated notion of "Don't change; just be. Don't make; just buy."

Passive consumption is not often recognized as consumerism because there's no money changing hands, but in my opinion, reducing the membership of real-life subcultures with historical bases in music, fashion, and stigmatized emotions to something which can be entered by anyone, with no significant lifestyle change, is... perhaps not doing any favors to the people of that subculture. Just a thought.

This is why I do not believe in emo

Unpopular opinion

"swemo" is an oxymoron

swifties and emos are natural enemies and cannot coexist together

if you are emo and like taylor swift, you are a fake emo

taylor swift stands against everything emo is

"but electric touch-" FUCK YOU AND YOUR MOTHER

[cruelestpoetryever]

ODE To Taylor Swift Haters

Head tilted, peering down

You hate on people unlike you

~

Call you misogynist, and you

Freak out like your mom died

~

But I see you all there

Laughing it up at just women

~

Call us cultists and other stuff

Like you don't even know

~

That your words are hurtful

Toxic as can possibly be

~

Drag me down in the mud

Oh? Was Hot Topic closed today?

~

But you know I have feelings too

Or maybe you did not

Telling friends that they shouldn't use AI feels like I'm in the Botherhood of Steel in Fallout because they got me saying stuff like

"Do not use this technology it's dangerous" and "Watch out for that website you never know if it's using AI"

Gonna start finishing my sentences with Ad Victoriam and unplugging PCs

At least hot topic has things NORMAL PEOPLE can buy now. You all want your perfect little goth store back but you don't understand that fandom type stuff is the only thing they sell with any wide appeal.

i love this thing

hol up you like MCR can we be friends

Depends if you are pro emo or not

“Save Sasuke from the dark path he was going down” sounds so deep and romantic or whatever until you remember that the “dark path ” being referred to was the search for answers and closure made necessary by systematic oppression, a corrupt political system, surviving a massacre, and constantly being invalidated.

"trans guys are uniquely capable of perpetrating misogyny" everyone is uniquely capable of perpetrating misogyny dipshit it came free with your fucking living in a patriarchal society

feeling controversial

if you are buying clothes from temu because other emo/scene/goth/punk clothes aren’t affordable (yet you can afford just. basic clothes) you aren’t alternative. i can’t dress exactly how i want due to money and lack of cool clothes in my area, but i refuse to support temu, shein, aliexpress, etc .

i do understand that sometimes those clothes are peoples ONLY option. then buying is excusable, i get it.

if you really want the clothes that badly, remember that DIY is pretty damn punk !
