Teen Gothic

I pre-ordered Twin Tribes's Pendulum in the pink and black color, and it came in looking purple and cloudy, and the edges were blunt and sharp with strings of vinyl coming off. Most of my records are smooth and tapered at the ends. Did anyone else have this issue? I'm hesitant to buy another Twin Tribes record in the future because in the past I had a record come in with the sleeve torn and grease stains on the record itself. Am I an outlier?

Like I can barely process a lot of song lyrics, and it takes a lot of time for me to even understand the song, so I usually listen to one song from a bunch of artists (personal favorite rn Beyond The Grave by Detoxi). My only issue is that it kinda makes me feel like a fraud, even though I listen to a variety of Goth bands, I can't say I have a favorite and I can't pull up someones whole music career.

Idk I guess I just have imposter syndrome, plus it's hard to speak to others about goth music when most people don't do this.

Edit: Probably should've made my title liking one specific song from multiple bands but, y'know, shit happens.
