Required grown up photo.
Yoooooo, I saw this picture as well but didn’t realise it was the same person. That’s so cool.
If you meant candles, second one has 15. Probably unrelated to age though.
Edit: Nevermind, no idea. KnowYourMeme claims she was 15 in the first picture, actually, no idea about the recreation. I guess I won’t find the figures.
Edit 2: Hmm, found the source. 2021 and 2023. Really just 2 years of difference, and that means KYM is wrong. So it seems first is 13, second 15. Interesting.
The thing I never understood about goth is that it looks like so much effort. The makeup, cloths, hair, it all looks like a ton of work. I always thought it was about embracing how dismal and pointless life is.
That’s nihilism goth is more an aesthetic and lifestyle. Doesn’t necessarily have to have a deeper meaning.
Just asked about whether it was aesthetic or lifestyle in another thread. Interesting discussion on the punk ethos followed.
Reading that one person’s arguments hurt so much. Imagine gatekeeping something like that. lmao
My favorite part was:
buying a leather jacket and pre-torn pants would get you laughed out of a punk rock gathering where everything is thrifted and modified DIY
It’s like: “Hey! did someone else tear those pants? Why haven’t you modified your jacket?!? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!”
I always thought it was about embracing how dismal and pointless life is.
It means different things to different people. Which kind of makes sense, if you think about how music and style spreads around the world and hits different people in different cultural contexts.
Some people just listen to the music and don’t get all gussied up. Some people express themselves through professional-quality costumes. Some people use the style to create an identity on social media. Some people use the music and style to explore their cultural heritage. etc.
This is legit art 10/10
She’s disturbingly close to Juggalo territory here.
Oh she’s cute. Would
