I think how she’s gentrifying goth and alternative culture and fetishising herself playing into those “goth mommy” weirdos while not actually being a goth
Ok, then let me make a more direct analogy. If I make videos where I cosplay as someone who is homeless, but actually pull in 500k a year. Would that make me homeless? I think people are pointing out that people like her are wearing the outfits for content, but not actually a part of the culture or living that lifestyle. It's a wardrobe change. I don't know this girl or her content, I assume it's an only fans model, but I'll be willing to bet she couldn't name the lead singer of Bauhaus, 5 type o negative songs, and when the cameras are off, dresses quite differently
Bro what goth culture are you talking about? Being able to list off every goth singer or album to prove their street cred? I’ve had a goth aesthetic for 20 years but that doesn’t mean I need to love Bauhaus or Type O Negative. Goth is an aesthetic.
So if I go to a goth club tonight. I should have no expectation of the social circles having their own values, slang, worldviews etc? The music will be a big mix, like a melting pot of different types of music? Because if that's what you think, as someone who has been a part of that culture since 1995, I can tell you that is factually incorrect.
