Teen Gothic

Hello! I love in Hungary, I like alternative music, mostly goth, and recently I have went to an alternative music store to get patches. The thing is, they were selling some pretty offensive stuff, like iron crosses, confederation flags, like the slave owner flag, and like pins with a smiley of hitler. It was pretty messed up I think, a place calling itself punk should definitely not have anything like this in inventory.

The thing is, I wrote to them, asking why they sell that kind of stuff, and they just answered that people buy it, so they sell it. I also wrote a Google review saying that they have hate symbols, and they wrote back to me that I might just be too soft for a place like that. Can or should I do anything other than not returning? Have any of you faced similar situations? I want patches, but for now I will make my own ones.

So I am 100000% sure I’ve once listened to a Bauhaus song on Spotify that had lyrics like “anorexic alien” or “anorexic monster” or something like that and no matter how much and how long I’ve looked for that song I cannot find it anywhere.

I’m seriously unsure if that song even exists or if I imagined that, but people told me they remember that song too, but don’t remember the title.

I am going crazy here because am I stupid? Do I remember a song that was never made? Or was that song just taken off Spotify because there are some people that know what I’m talking about? But if it was just taken off Spotify, then why can’t I find it anywhere else?

Replacing this with a patch as soon as I can, this is horrific to look at

So they have a random tray bake on the bar, chopped into tiny pieces and people are randomly nibbling at some as they pass by.

It's obviously nice, but I'm a bit curious about the history of this. Is this like preventative, so folks aren't as wankered as they could be? Or a too good to go situation? Who is baking this?

Especially cos how to put it without getting modded out, it's a ~rave-like~ environment, people aren't usually too keen to eat in a certain state.

Do any other goth clubs have cake?

I took off some patches to cover up the old The Smiths logo I painted on there so I need to add them back.

As this is one of the same five dead horses that get beat in the sub, I'm sure everyone here knows about the accusations of this sub gatekeeping and other trivial conversations about it that occur daily here. However, the people that make this claim seem to have the idea that not just letting their favorite bands be called goth is gatekeeping. No. Actual gatekeeping within the goth subculture would be gushing to someone about some super cool band you've found but refusing to tell them who the band actually is out of some weird superiority complex from a sense of individuality in knowing obscure bands. Acknoweledging that a certain-doom-metal-band isn't a gothic rock band isn't gatekeeping goth because anyone interested is fully capable of "getting through the gates" (finding and enjoying goth music), they just don't like what's inside. Nothing is being kept or hidden behind closed doors in this context, many of you just like music that isn't goth which is OKAY. Not every vaguely dark or ominous song you hear is goth, and that doesn't make anybody a shunned exile from the evil r/goth subreddit. Quite literally the opposite of gatekeeping is done here, with exposure given to lesser known bands every day through reccomendations and the like. I know I'm really just furthering the congestion of these repetetive eye rolling posts, but I think some people would do well actually creating the mental image of a literal gate being kept to understand what the buzz word actually implies.

Edit: Typo.
