thank you women. i love you women.

Ok yes im complaining again. the look that has been dubbed "modern trad" (Thank god we're finally calling it that because as someone whos super into 80s fashion it was infuriating to see people just calling it trad) while nice has started to bother me. no i dont give a shit how people dress or do their makeup thats their call. and i dont wanna be one of those people who are like "Ugh everyone looks the SAME unlike ME who is actually ORIGINAL and DIFFERENT" because thats also annoying. but seeing a shit ton of goths all doing that same look has caused a lot of baby bats to think "fuckkk i cant be goth i dont have straight black hair & perfect intricate eyeliner & white base makeup & a corset & that specific ankh belt & demonias....". i dont necessarily have a problem with the look itself or even people looking kinda same-y its the fact that since that specific style has become so prevalent its made people think that its the only way to do goth fashion. and it pisses me off. the entire point is to express yourself. if you enjoy that look then go right ahead but PLEASE i encourage you to think about what YOU like and not just whats popular. everything has gotten so commercialized and the nature of social media has made it so people care more about their image than ever and i hate to see people feel bad because they cant fit this specific mold.
