Call me Red

[undeadredhead]

Hey there! I'm Red. From Australia, old enough to remember when using your real name on the internet was a sin. I guess I'm a part of the wave of people who have gotten sick of social media swallowing the internet and have found that a few old forums are thankfully still kicking.

My taste in music varies from cultured to embarrassing, but I like a lot of the classics, industrial stuff, I was really into the whole Dark Cabaret scene in the 2000s and 2010s. These days I like a lot of experimental stuff that mixes genres, as well as stuff like hyperpop and harsh noise and anything with clever lyrics. I also have a soft spot for mopey country music with swamp folk and southern gothic flavours.

I'm looking forward to having a nice place on the internet to hang out!

Okay wait wait, I'm doing the questionaire:

1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job)
Full time disabled mutant, but I'm also studying art and I like to paint and draw, especially oil painting. I also sing and I'm teaching myself guitar.

2. Where are you from?
I was born in a tiny town called Toowoomba, which is coincidentaly the most haunted place in Australia!

3. Who is your favorite author?
Poppy Z. Brite, hands down.

4. What are your favorite films?
I forget every movie I've ever watched when this question comes up. Uhhh. Antiviral and Van Helsing.

5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I don't intend to ever get married, but I could be swayed into some kind of trophy husband situation if the price was right.

6. At your funeral?
Pharmakon's Beastial Burden album in its entirety.

7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
In order of preference: 1) Stabbed by a lover, 2) The sudden impact of a horrendous car crash, 3) death by chandelier a la Phantom of the Opera.

8. What kind of casket would you want?
Something sleek in a dark, not-quite-black wood, with red velvet lining.

9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
I'll let you know when I've finished Marie Kondo-ing my floordrobe.

10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
The insane levels of optimism I had about the future.

11. What's your favorite band?
Alice Cooper, or Angelspit. Do solo artists count as a band?

12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
Triple high school drop out, burned out gifted kid shit. Also dropped out of Uni so I have 95% of a film degree. Currently taking a high school level visual art course.

13. Why did you join?
I miss when the internet was fun.

14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
That's a great question, I'll let you know when I figure it out.

hey sweetie, welcome to the silent madhouse; if you're still here. Sadly this place is like a morgue most of the time!

Love the movie Van Helsing and Alice Cooper is excellent; sure solo artists count!
I feel your pain regarding social media and the internet. I used to belong to an awesome Forum; The Old Curiosity Shop, but that folded a few years back and now there seems to be nothing like it around.

What inspired you to join the forum, considering your nostalgia for the more enjoyable times on the internet?

I enjoy listening to a lot of genre-bending experimental music these days, along with harsh noise, hyperpop, and anything with creative lyrics. home renovation near me
