"they're the same hoodie" that is FREQUENTLY CORRECT

every child should have a specific stuffed animal/toy that they develop an antagonistic relationship with

some of my most significant core memories involved getting into heated arguments with the furby who lived in my closet. essential component of my pre-teen character development. necessary anguish

Anon bb come back i can change for you

These mfers really only have three lines of dialogue huh

they’re like NPCs you spam A in front of

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell

Thank you Mars ;; this is coming off of a huge and debilitating cancer scare so every bit of support will be really really touching <333

i've never been able to convince myself people into music-based subcultures exclusively for the fashion are entirely posers. these are music based scenes so yes it's a little odd, and sure they're more likely to fall into consumerist habits- but you (generally) have to pay for music or access to clubs and venues so it's not like the rest of us are immune (and none of us have to fall into consumerists habits anyway). if fashion is a type of communication and self expression through art, and is so deeply associated with most subcultures as to be almost a dress code, then i see no reason why it's significantly less valid a mode of participation than a shared and publicly displayed love of music- another form of communication and self expression through art. if you can be goth but not dress the part i feel like you could make a good argument that you can be goth and not listen the part. i understand defending the origin of a subculture you care about but it's not 1979 anymore things have changed. definitions are always reshaping themselves around time. sometimes it feels like it's just a rejection of fashion as a legitimate art form more than anything, which is absurd because it's one of the loudest and most immediate forms of cultural connection, communication and self expression we have as a species. i don't think it's what anyone means, but i always wonder

also if you want to keep aging subcultures alive, including their music, you've got to be more hospitable to those who show interest. there's nothing sacred to protect here, you arnt defending the sanctity or history of anything when you tell an interested and edgy teenager to fuck off because they can't quite get into what you proudly acknowledge is difficult music for "normies" to appreciate. i bet they could and would appreciate it eventually if they were encouraged. and even if they never do, so what? what's the consequence?
