Teen Gothic

Is it just me or has there been a serious uptick in people trying to find “where the goths are” or more into focus the “where are the goth girls at?”. I have been into the “subculture” for a few years. Even wrote for the site Darkest Goth for a while. I know there’s always been a fetishization of goth women, but I feel like I see it more now and more blatantly.

So my question is, am I just dense and have been missing it for the last 20 years, or is it getting more prevalent? Also, how the fuck do people deal with it?

Thanks!
