Teen Gothic

So my mom(39) is fine with me being a bit alternative…..to an extent. She’s fine with me liking weird shit and my “weird black music” lol but we but headings on the way I style myself. She only wants me to do stereotypical like not grunge “grunge” (think 2020 baggy jeans and nirvana t-shirt) and I wanna dress the way I like which is definitely not that. I’ve been getting into trad goth makeup and I really like the way I look. For the longest time I’ve always felt I’ve looked too much younger than I am, but when im in goth make up I really like the way I look a lot. My mom considers it whiteface. Whenever she sees me in it she’ll immediately tell me to scrub it off. At one point I made it my instagram profile picture and she yelled at me to take it down immediately. She compared it to a white person posting a picture of them in a charcoal mask.….that’s fine ig but digress. She says I’ll get my scholarship to college taken away if people see me like that. (She then got mad when I changed it to a bat cause then people would think I’m weird and suck blood????) Is there literally any way to deal with this. It’s like taking to a brick wall. Should I just suck it up cause I move away in 2 weeks? She’s still probably call me screaming if I do post pictures in it while I’m in college. She’s controlling like that.

They've posted the dates and tickets are on sale now! I went ahead and grabbed my ticket for the Atlanta date, because ticket sales for The Eastern seem to be especially vulnerable to greedy resellers.

Hi! Baby bat here and I was doom scrolling again and I just saw a couple of tik toks explaining how goth people have to have goth political values.

I did more research and I'm not a fascist I hate right wing ideals and as a queer black person I think that's kinda self explanatory.

But one thing I kinda held my breath at was fast fashion, I'm like not poor poor but I'm currently a student who makes ends meet and all of my clothes are from places like Ross, Walmart and Amazon and I just found out those are fast fashion places.

And I see people in the comments saying that if you're using fast fashion then you're not goth. I wanna go to thrift stores but there's barley any in walking distance. Like I love listening to the music but apparently that's not enough anymore?
