Teen Gothic

Had someone insist online that I wasn't a real goth because my friends tend to be more "basic", but I dont see a problem with it! I'm nice to them, their nice to me. I don't see the need for any complications.

Also- another dilemma, im against the insult "basic". I find it incredibly misogynistic and rude. Go ahead and scream at me in the comments, I wont care enough to acknowledge it. The point is, this person yelled at me and called me a "poser" for this.

If the answer to either of these questions is "yes", ill leave the goth community, no questions asked. Not out of anger– it just doesn't fit me.
