Real talk, folks. Now that we've gotten older, do you all ever feel like goth is slavishly consumerist and stupidly romantic?

Anyway... I've come to notice that the antithesis of goth is actually much more honest. What do I mean? People who adore and love pop culture. They don't lie about it. There's no pretense, no denial that they are who they are. It's honest, it's stupid, and it doesn't deny its voracious consumerism.

To be honest, I think I can respect pop consumerism a bit more than goth who's material expression is identical yet denies it and invents a story to make it mean something more than what it is.

God I wish I was reading Marx when I was 17 instead of listening to HIM songs.
