Are some people really acting like Depeche Mode is some sort of underground band suddenly blowing up because of Last of Us???
They're literally one of the most popular musical acts of all time. They play stadiums. What bubble are you living in?

I would agree out of context but unfortunately the sort of thing also appears alongside a concerning resurgence of neopuritan reactionary views among young people and oftentimes calls for censorship etc of any objectionable or uncomfortable material. Shit worries me.
Not only that, but also it's so weird that some parts of this inherently DIY subculture have shifted to this idea that you *have* to have designer goth clothes. It literally doesn't matter what you wear or if it's not from a fashion label I promise lol
@PerthshireMags
Yes. Despite the fact that if fent was actually that dangerous no one would survive being prescribed it medically, and the person cutting your drugs with it would die in the process, nevermind every single person who took them. Drug propaganda believers are divorced from reality

Terrible but completely unsurprising. Israel has spent a lot of effort creating the "If you're against us you're literally hitler" narrative, Which is double insulting as someone who is both of Jewish descent and a supporter of Palestine.

Yeah, tbh "violation of consent" has a very specific connotation and it's low-key sort of fucked up to call something that's, at most, insensitive politeness a violation of consent.
I mean, I'm all for being more mindful but that's not a productive way to word it.
@dustrial
Absolutely! Once I'm done painting the main building, I'm going to green stuff some mutations on to it and various tentacles and viscera and then put some nurglings on there for sure
Dress codes are dumb. Barriers for entry to enjoying music should be as minimal as possible and you shouldn't make snap judgments based on how someone dresses. Not to mention they quickly devolve into racism and classism.
I'm once again tired of goth discourse.
Happy pride, remember when George Michael got caught soliciting anonymous gay sex in a public bathroom and instead of doing some weird apology tour he put out a kick ass disco song about how awesome it is to do that?
George Michael fucking ruled
Strange to realize that even though the 90s are far behind us, some people still want goth culture to be the "oh my gawd look, somebody's wearing blue jeans!" panel from JTHM.

Perhaps elevating any person to "perfect hero who can do no wrong" role model status is a bad idea bc people are just people and can and will disappoint you
Not that the other guys are as bad as Andrew Tate but like... Still
Autism/ADHD instatherapy has created a sense of learned helplessness in many people where they no longer even try to manage how their symptoms affect their life because it's "just how they are"- great, you're "valid", but you still have to find ways to navigate the world
Industrial music, and most electronic for that matter, wouldn't exist without black musicians and DJs. Weird as fuck when some people forget or intentionally ignore that fact.

"hey we see that everyone was really excited about the way animal crossing handled this a couple years ago, what if we did the same thing but like completely wrong?"

Sort of convinced the /r/meth vs /r/cocaine beef is a psyop by /r/shrooms to divide the two so they can't fight the true enemy
Someone on TikTok: "You shouldn't cover Mr Kitty because he hates all covers of his music"
Me: "let me let you in on an even more important reason why you shouldn't"
Spend more time fostering a community and less time policing who doesn't belong in it and we will all be much better off.
Also, "pure" goth usually sucks anyway.
Business idea : goth industrial gym pop up that has a DJ playing stuff like Nitzer Ebb and includes themed workouts like banging on an anvil with a really heavy hammer
i do not support all rivetheads, some of you bitches are dumb as fuck.
also lmao who the fuck thinks killing joke and sisters of mercy are the only two leftist bands in goth/adjacent music? have you not listened to... anything?

Yeah I mean it's, at most, rude, and I could see how it could be triggering and I sympathize!! But it's disingenuous to use the same terms for it that we use for SA and to lump them together.

i think there's a lot of a push in certain queer circles for assimilation and respectability politics, which may be more common than previously due to what you're getting at - but tbh this neoreactionary puritan attitude is sweeping across a lot of gen z not just queer kids

Unfortunately I see a lot of it in youth movements independent of adults. Perhaps inspired by but less so than you would normally expect. It doesn't paint a very comforting picture all together
the cool thing about all the online goth drama discourse in the last few weeks is that you can block like 3-4 people and you never have to see anyone's bullshit hot takes ever again, because it always seems to come from those same 3-4 people.
Finally at one year. If you knew me a year ago, I can confidently say that you don't anymore. Thanks to everyone who's stuck by me so far and a big fuck you to everyone who wrote me off completely. Can't wait to be able to post the same thing next year.
To be honest all of OG Pantera was racist, at the very least in the "ignorant dudes from Texas who grew up in casually racist culture" way, even if people don't wanna admit it about their hero dimebag.
But Phil is like... Actual for real "I've decided to be racist" racist.
Phil Anselmo has a long history of racist behavior covered extensively in the media at the time. I'd love to see the coverage of the Pantera show cancelations reflect that instead of acting as if it was simply the one white power / white wine incident a few years back.
This whole Green Day thing is nothing. Remember in 2018 when a bunch of conservative goths got mad that Ministry "went political" with their new album?
If I ever write a book it would be called "All Music Is Pretty Bad Actually: Why You Shouldn't Act So Confidently Superior To Others When Your Taste Is Also Lame As Fuck"
Do y'all ever feel like mental health tiktok/instagram/whatever accounts are just validation circles and exercises in learned helplessness? been thinking about this for a while
123,000 views and 10,000 engagements on this. Still climbing.
Probably should have finished painting it and staged it more and maybe put some of my fucking actual army models on it.
Oops.
Will the world explode if you don't wish your partner a happy birthday on every platform possible? Probably not but I'm not taking that chance. Happy birthday

My brother has never shown interest in music his whole life but is now taking a piano class at school and asked if he could borrow my "keyboard" for a couple months to practice.
All I have is my synthesizer so welcome to industrial music kid hope you like supersaws
i'm gonna hit a year off of drugs in 45 days and like.. there's no danger of me slipping up or anything, so i just want to have hit a year already so that i can say i did and it's behind me lmao
I know there's a lot to be upset about in the world right now and we shouldn't be sticking our heads in the sand and ignoring that, but that doesn't mean we need to actively upset ourselves on a daily basis. Fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling.
