Teen Gothic

has goth and alternative culture felt extra fetishized in recent years? I went to a “bloodrave” event last night because it was advertised as hard techno, industrial, goth music and a subculture event. Which sounded like a fun event to dance at. The crowd was almost all very normie straight white men. I got grabbed over twenty times being told all kinds of out of pocket things. Mostly about my tattoos and some latex pieces I was wearing and being “alone”. I feel like the internet has made goth culture a porn genre at this point. I feel safer being a little freak in a normal sports bar at this point than I do a “goth night” event lol. At least in the city I’m in. I know there’s way more pressing matters happening in the world right now but it was just on my mind and wanna know if you guys have events or places you feel comfortable and have fun going to! 🖤
