You're too old to be faking dumb. Ain't cute. Just Google goth music & move on, babes!

This just in: person learns that their experience isn’t universal. I really had never heard of “goth music” before, and now I have. Literally what reason do I have to lie, y’all are so funny. It was blowing my mind tho because y’all are acting like it’s SUCH a big deal and the basis of goth existence (sure, fine), and I had NEVER heard of it. And of the people that I asked, only my metalhead friend and father who listens to punk rock had actually heard of it. Everyone else just thought “punk music” meant like… 2000’s emo music. I think y’all are the ones who need to realize that you are “faking dumb.” Y’all all know that many people just think dark clothes and edgy makeup when someone says “goth.” I know that you know this because there are about 10 posts rn actively complaining about it! YOU are the one in denial, friend. Is it upsetting that the word has come to mean something different? Sure. But that’s language. Do you now have to ask people TWO (2!!) questions instead of one to correctly ascertain if they’re REALLY part of the goth community? Yeah. But it’s not really that hard or that big of a deal. I feel for you tho ❤️ and I’m glad that this is the biggest problem you’re dealing with ❤️❤️

Much love,

❤️

Btw, it just sounds like punk rock. Just less aggressive. And the whiny British guy sounds a little less like he’s seizing in the studio. If I was in a very specific mood, maybe I would listen….…? Idk. Do y’all actually listen ‘cause you like it, like you bop to it, or is it like the political messages of it, or…? And surely you listen to other music?
