Teen Gothic

It’s like they only care about how you two would look as a couple, which really doesn’t matter. I’ve been running into this with both men and women. I’m a trans guy, but a lot of girls only want to be with me because they dress in pink and are very girly, and they’re like “we’d look so different and cute omg!” and the men are honestly the same.

None of these people are even into the music, they just like the aesthetic of having a partner who’s goth because it makes them look “cooler”, or something? I think it falls into the same vein of those guys who only want goth girls for fetish purposes.

I personally turn these people down, some of them are way more persistent than i like them to be though. I’m gay, but the women who like me are always SUPER persistent about it, even after i make it clear i’m not interested. I feel like many of us would like partners who are into the same music and have the same interests, (which many non-goth people would also like as well). People still tend to forget we’re real people and not like a lion in a cage for everyone to gawk at.

I do think this is pretty common, i just wanted to have a discussion about it, see if this is common with everyone else from different places.

so, i don't use tiktok but a friend of mine who does asked me if the "clean goth girl aesthetic" is acceptable in the goth culture or not. i know we're accepting and teach baby bats about us but theres a lot of hate revolving around them specifically. i told my friend that the way to become a goth is by listening to the music and explained it to her, her response was "i think these girls only wear black but don't listen to ur music."

help me determine this because i can't tell of they actually r interested in goth culture or they’re just posing for a "viral tiktok trend"

hi guys so I have a friend who has goth friends and he told me that they really like the “nazi aesthetic” relating to the death, style, and symbolism of nazis? He is a person of color and says they aren’t racist they just “like the aesthetics and symbolism”, but couldn’t explain to me how nazism and goth culture were connected? Is this a thing? Can someone explain? They are also metal heads.
