This is a great answer. I appreciate you taking the time to explain clearly, link references and fish up the image. This is something I really knew nothing about and am legit amazed. Thank you so much!
(Assuming you are/were a goth) May I ask what makes darkness really appealing to you? I mean I guess we all enjoy some darkness and I've had my dark times so I can understand a bit but umm... Could be wrong but I feel like darkness speaks to those who have a lot of anger or sadness somewhere. Does that make sense?
I also have the preconceived notion that goth culture has to do with rebellion / reappropriation of ostracism / exile / Thanos aka desire for death / ~~Demon worship?~~ and similar drives. Does this sound right to you? How would you put it?
Just trying to understand how the world looks like for a goth.
"goth" means different things to different people. sorry, I'd write more but I'm comin down with a cold or something.
ok how about this:
That actually helps a lot. thanks and hope you get better soon.

i feel a bit exposed now, but interesting replies. thanks.
oops sorry, I removed your username from there. for what it's worth, !gothindustrial@lemmy.world has a smaller audience than !asklemmy@lemmy.world.
Yeah I noticed and appreciate it very much!
