there’s something that happens to me when i see someone enjoying something i like but what they’re enjoying is essentially y’know. “grunge” at $200. does that make sense? i go absolutely feral inside my own head when i see a kid dress “goth” and it’s y’know. very watered down. more fashionable. like GOD FOR FUCKING BID you not be attractive to your followers for one damn post. i mean, if you’re gonna dress “grunge” for clicks, go to a thrift store, buy cheap, ratty, ugly ass ill-fitting clothes, y’know? punk isn’t just ripped jeans and a pristine leather jacket. there’s more to these things. they go so much deeper than what people are giving them credit for. grunge has nothing really to do with clothing except for the idea of, y’know, “reduce reuse recycle” even if their intent wasn’t inherently eco-friendly. they were broke, y’know? they bought what they could afford and wore that shit until it disintegrated and i SWEAR TO GOD i will completely lose my cool if i ever see a pair of ripped tights on some high end fashion website again i WILL LOSE IT.
#personal#dress how ya wanna#i really don’t care#it just irks me to my core when stuff gets watered down#grunge is a silly word I KNOW but the movement#whatever you wanna call it#it was music with emotion and honesty and vulnerability#i have never found music like it before#not at that level#not that consistently for each band#y’know? eddie vedder could have been reading shit from my journals#it made SENSE#people were finally being honest and toning down the rockstar ego bullshit#so when i see people taking something so close to my heart and making it Fashion™️#it fills me with this awareness that the beginning has ended#i wasn’t there to witness it’s birth#i wasn’t there for that shift within music#it brings this snootiness#this y’know fashion industry *what can we destroy and sell* sort of thing#this argument has been had 100 times before#and i’ve said nothing new#but i want people to be genuine again#i want people to care again#everyone is fucking jaded and no one wants to like what they like - only like what won’t get them hate comments#i mean c’mon y’know start liking things again!#i never held back and still don’t#i wore cosplay to an mcr concert in like 2009#i had a fucking blast#no one’s weird comments phased me#and i miss seeing kids being like that
