new blog post -- goth in the media

[heresiarch]

so, last week i was really entertained by the inconsistency in media representations of "goth" -- are we a teen cult that engenders violence and depravity? or an appropriate aesthetic in high fashion every few years, as long as you're a wealthy white woman who wants to be "edgy?" or just a bunch of aging clubkids who wear too much black and still

it's funny how black/death/grind/whatever Metal focuses so much more on death and violence, and has in many cases overt and unapologetic "satanic" overtones - yet is completely ignored in these cases. Perhaps years of spandex and hairspray have forever altered mainstream thoughts on what is Metal such that nobody would believe otherwise.
