@dakroot @JakeMunro You are correct. I dated/had friends in the goth scene as far back as the late 80's and as recently as 2020. Everything gradually went from introspection, clothes and music... to deviancy, grifting and posing. Sad. But true. #goth

@JakeMunro You're wrong on this one. In the late 90s, the fetishist usurpers arrived, both men and women, and pushed trad goths out. Trad goths still exist, dress modestly and focus on art. They are just quiet.

It's really tough. Almost like you have to go super high end to use the materials that will sell the quality angle. Not impossible, but it will be 100% a marketing/storytelling play. Most of your time will be making content and getting PR and what not. Not a bad thing, but it's a lot of work.

@dakroot I used to use a lot of really nice merino and alpaca, but where I live people just didn't appreciate it so now I use mostly acrylic, thrifted and gifted yarn to make my pieces. I do offer wool, bamboo, cotton etc. for customs though

So grok told me I've been way underselling my work, but would yall really pay even the lower end at $120 for a handmade balaclava? This isnt even factoring in possibilities for wool or upgraded materials. I dont want to overshoot & never make any sales because we're all broke.😆

@treeplanter77 @JakeMunro Yeah, that was when it became a cute spectacle. Anyone could join a serious art subculture with no participation required.

@dakroot @JakeMunro My hypothesis: Whatever year the general public could go to a shop and buy mass produced “Goth” fashion or “Punk” gear is the official corruption and demise of the genre.

One such instance. Women ruined goth and there is absolutely no doubt about it. youtube.com/watch?v=vdPrVN…

@Me262A1Schwalbe @schiz04renic I read this and liked it

@dakroot @schiz04renic I "LIKE" AS A READ RECEIPT. SOME PEOPLE GET SO BUMMED THAT THEY GET NOTHING. THE FACELESS VIEWS MEANS LITTLE.

Would you still tweet if you got zero likes on all your posts?

@Me262A1Schwalbe @2lastvibes

@dakroot @2lastvibes GOT A LOVELY THORAX

if you see this post, you are obligated to reply with something that you love about yourself. sorry I don’t make the rules.

@GoRKlette @JakeMunro 'Twas the coup de grace 😅

@dakroot @JakeMunro “Hot topic” ruined Goth… lol 😂

@NoddyWalker @JakeMunro It's not always childhood trauma, some goths come from perfect families and are natural tortured souls lol. He looks like that because that's what goths tend to look like 🤷🏻‍♀️

@dakroot @JakeMunro This guy looks like a walking fetish. I dont know what happened to him as a kid but it cant be good.

@TheRealAchilleZ @lolnvmtho Avoid them then. Pun intended.

@dakroot @lolnvmtho You don’t get to pump all the emotions and intimacy into someone and create connection then run away when you get what you begged for. Thats abandonment and childish. It’s an emotional immaturity issue. Grow up.

Avoidants are so weird, you’re mad because you’re loved?

@TheRealAchilleZ @lolnvmtho Yes, they're humans and they can show and want love, just like everyone else. You're not equipped with the patience and understanding it takes. Move on.

@dakroot @lolnvmtho Yea except you’re leaving out the part where even tho the dog was kicked everyday, it’s still showing YOU love and affection constantly. So now when I return it, you wanna run to the other room? Even tho I never kicked you myself? Grow up.

Something I’ve learned from TWITTER (X): Complete strangers on the internet can be better supporters than people you’ve known your whole life

Not fair! Why don't my neighbors ever wake me up like this?

@Me262A1Schwalbe Omg 😂 I wonder if my fart story will go viral

Visiting my dad. I’m in the kitchen making breakfast and he walks through and with a regal tone says “I’m farting, just thought you should know.”

@Me262A1Schwalbe You're killin' me 😂

@dakroot LOSER PAYS FOR THE TACO BELL BURRITOS. MY WIFE NOTICED I WAS MISSING A PAIR OF SHORTS SO I TOLD HER ABOUT THE FARTING CONTEST. A FEW WEEKS LATER I TORE A PAIR PUTTING THEM ON AND THREW THEM OUT. SHE NOTICED AND ASKED IF I LOST ANOTHER FARTING CONTEST.

@PedanticKilljoy @JakeMunro Yeah, they gotta leave these takes to the old timers. They're viewing it through a modern lens and distorting history. Lots of crossover with new wave also. It's never been a masculine subculture.

@dakroot @JakeMunro Women were there from day 1, back when it was still called "deathrock," and the aesthetic overall is very feminine, so if you hate "women in goth," you just hate goth.

The worst thing to happen to goth was women. I've been saying it for years.

@Me262A1Schwalbe No but you could challenge him to a duel and I'll pass it on.

@dakroot I LIKE YOUR DAD, WE COULD HANG OUT. HE EVER CRAP HIS PANTS TRYING TO WIN A FARTING CONTEST?

@Me262A1Schwalbe M, I was crop dusted!

@dakroot IF HE IS WALKIG AND FARTING WE CALLED THAT CROP DUSTING. RAPID FIRE: FARTING FOR EFFECT.
