About
I'm a 32 year old woman. I'm an artist, and I'm into the Gothic subculture. Things that I enjoy include but are not limited to 80's Music, Reading, Drawing, Animation, Playing bass guitar, Gothic rock, indie music, horror films, anime, comics, video games, and sci-fi novels. I don't know what I'd do without music, and art. I listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees way more than I should.

Date: 2016-04-26 09:21 pm (UTC)I hear you about goths getting bullied for how they looked. I wasn't goth in high-school, but I was punk, and did get harassed for how I dressed in high-school. Many of my friends were goth, and got a lot of shit for dressing the way they did. It does seem stupid that all of a sudden it's trendy, because I remember when it wasn't and people would make snide comments. I remember some guy told me "It's not Halloween yet!" and the funny part was I wasn't dressed particularly goth at all during that time. That was sort of my awakening though for checking out the gothic subculture because I realized that I always saw beauty in the darkness. But yeah sorry for the rambling, I agree with you. People take what they want from many subcultures, and create their own bastardized version of them without knowing anything about the subculture. It sucks.
Yeah I've always wanted to go to Comic Con myself. Yeah the fashion shows do seem really cool. I remember Shinya from Dir en grey modeled at one of the bigger anime cons a year or so ago. Pretty cool stuff.
