Tik tok goths unnecessarily hostile
I just got off Tik Tok and saw a video which I thought was a cool one, I love seeing thrift hauls, people talking about different stuff. Once in a while you’ll see a creative thing where people care what they talk about.
But this spesific post holy. It was a video of a modern trad who seeming looked extremely young so that to me sort of did make sense. The video was titled thrift hauls to poser ass b#!ches saying you can’t thrift (I’m new to Reddit so I don’t want anything to be taken down) and the only comments who try to explain why they aren’t either as fortunate, do what they can to pass by without treating this whole thrift or be a poser thing as a trend, the comments are insulting and hostile as well. I’ve seen hostility in the subculture but not this much. And it’s always the very new babybats who is the definition of modern ‘trad’ goth who is the complete opposite in my opinion on fighting status quo and dabbling in creativity. I’m not claiming anyone to be posers, as sadly at many spaces douches exists. But also, you rarely see them outside of their phone.
I wonder what many of you think about this, and give me your takes on it. Would be very appreciated. As always I have to ask the comment sections to be respectful.
