Teen Gothic

I get so uncomfortable when people men call me “goth bitch.” I don’t like being called “bitch” by men anyways and the fact that so many people just automatically refer to me as a goth bitch pisses me off. They automatically assume that I’m “freaky” like stop boiling me down to a gothic fuck toy. I’m not even interested in sex and it just makes me feel so icky. Anyone else feel like this?

I don't know about your country, but I feel that here in Finland, the entry fees have become excessive. A gig featuring two bands that are just starting their careers can have a 15 euro entry fee, plus a cloakroom fee. I believe it's a lose-lose situation for everyone because it will result in significantly fewer attendees compared to if the entry fee were, for example, 5 euros. Many potential audience members may choose to stay home, causing these new bands to have even fewer people watching their gig than they would normally have. Do you have any thoughts on this, and is it similar in your country?

What are some of the most annoying problems you experience being part of the subculture?
