Teen Gothic

Okay so maybe not always, but very often it seems you get band shirts that look like this – seemingly posterized to such an extent that you can barely tell who or what you're looking at unless you already know. And at least in some cases this seems to be an intentional choice rather than the result of limitations, since the same bands will have great album art, photos, or other designs that could likely be used instead or in addition, but aren't despite those same designs sometimes appearing on other items they mass-produce.

What is the reasoning here? Am I missing something? Do you enjoy how these kinds of designs look? Please let me know.

Ultimately taste is subjective and I'm not trying to insult anyone here. I love my favs and typically buy their merch no matter how I feel about how it looks; I just wish more of the designs were aligned with my tastes and am a bit confused as to why things are the way they are.

I always wanted to own a leather skirt, but they're very costly in India and it's hard to find leather skirts which aren't very short. so i made myself one, completed it yesterday.

Added lace at the bottom, this lace is very different than most ones you get to see on \"gothic\" clothes, as is it Indian embroidered lace, its also way thicker and shinier than regular net lace.

Also wearing waist Chain belt that I made earlier this week. and my own \"Kali nazar\" necklace I made few weeks ago. Earrings are DIY too, also added small chain to one yo make a lip to ear piercing jewellery. and the top is thrifted :3 DIY has been an important part of me in this lonesome Goth journey in my country, it's hard to find clothes and accessories that fit stereotypical goth aesthetics. So I have been making my own wardrobe from scratch from last 6 years ^^
