Completely and utterly correct
Back with another alternative Unsure-if-itβs-a-hot-take-here-but-would-def-be-a-hot-take-on-other-social-media-platforms.
βWell I have to buy from (fast fashion/unethical fashion brand) because Iβm Alt and local/thrift stores donβt have any alt stuff that fits my style!!!β Is complete bullshit. Make it yourself like the original alternative subculture did.
You donβt know how?
The internet has a thousand tutorials. If youβre overwhelmed and donβt know where to start you can literally DM me and I will send you some of my favorite YT channels that I learned from when I started dressing alternative years ago. A bottle of dye cost me like $8 last time I bought it, and I can use that to dye a whole bucket of clothes black, and an even larger amount of clothes if I want some grey tones and Iβm not too worried about having it all completely black.
But I donβt have time to learn all that right now!!!!
Thatβs completely fine and understandable! Iβve been there, but itβs not an excuse to constantly consume fast fashion. Pick up one skill at a time and change your wardrobe slowly. Itβs not going to be instantaneous. Also skills you already have are transferable. You like drawing/sketching? Get a couple markers and transfer it onto a tshirt, and now youβve got the coolest shirt in the room.
But what about disabled people????
Iβm going to be so real with you rn, every single disabled person in my life (even ones I just casually talk to at art markets) are the most creative people I know and this one just feels like a random scapegoat that able-bodied people throw around. Iβm disabled too, specifically surrounding muscle/connective tissue function, chronic pain, and motor skills. I work at a slower pace, with mediums I know Iβm good with, and take breaks, as do all my friends and acquaintances who share similar problems. If youβre disabled enough you cannot do so, this does not apply to you and I support you getting your needs met in the way that makes the most sense for you.
Itβs a lot more counter-culture to just listen to the music and wear a basic pair of jeans and a shirt from the thrift that you put a skull on with sharpie, than to wear plastic crap from Shein and Temu. Itβs not really raging against the machine to buy into it. Being clothed is important and a human right, however having your perfect ideal wardrobe immediately, cheaply, and at the expense of the wellbeing of either the planet or other people is not a human right. Thereβs a bit of a difference between those two, and you can survive in a pair of basic blue jeans, I promise you.
i really hate how sexualised goth is, idc if a goth does sex work but i have a problem when people just use the label and aesthetic as a porn category if you get what i mean.
its watering down a rich subculture for the sake of gaining profit via gooners and thats really tragic imo.
this is probably gonna sound like gatekeeping to some but idc
My life, your love. With this diamond I marry usπ
