I found the Goth Challenge first and since I'm still not fully immersed in goth subculture, I thought it would be very fitting of me to do a Lolita Challenge. I'm glad I found one! Otherwise, I was going to modify the Goth Challenge.
If you know of another 30 day Lolita challenge, that would be cool if you let me know. I think these things are fun.
So I'll go through them side by side, what do you think? Here's day 1...
Day 1 - How did you come across the subculture?
I...don't even remember. For the longest time in my teen and young adult years, people would ask me if I was goth, and so many people asked that I started to assume I was one after all. I didn't realize it was an entire subculture for awhile, though. At first, I just thought it was an identity expressed through fashion. When I started to do internet research and found out it was a subculture, I stopped agreeing with people that I was goth, because I didn't associate with or even know any other goths. I didn't want to identify myself as something that I felt so far removed from and knew so little about.
I also didn't like the music whenever it was that I tried out some old New Wave/trad Goth tracks. Since elitist goths were all going, "It doesn't matter what you wear, it's about liking Goth music," I figured it would be a lie to call myself a goth, even though I admired certain parts of the subculture and enjoyed dark things. This was before I knew about any other types of music associated with the goth scene. I was still listening to Visual kei.
Shortly after all this, I discovered Lolita and fully identified as that. I even stopped hanging out with Jrock fans to be with Lolitas.
Day 1 - 10 things about your lolita bubble.
This is like my own little Lolita world, right? Hmm...can I skip this question? I mean, the whole point of giving up Lolita for over a year was to get me OUT of my Lolita bubble and wake up to real life.
My Lolita always revolved around the local Lolita community. I started out going to every single meetup, but stopped going when the meetups got expensive, and never managed to pick up my same old pace again as the community grew and more meetups were being held. When the meetups started happening less frequently, I was struck by some curse that made shit pop up on days meetups were held, which was frustrating to say the least.
So I guess I don't have 10 things and will just stop talking now. Otherwise I'll ramble on and on. I don't want to live in a Lolita bubble anymore. I want to live in a Roku bubble with a little Lolita on the side.
