Goth/alternative problems

  1. People asking if you're hot when you're wearing black clothing in the summer.
  2. Being interested in clothing styles with names that sound questionable (lolita, kinderwhore, etc)
  3. People assume you're kinky because you dress a certain way or listen to certain music.
  4. People preach to you because they think you worship Satan.
  5. People assume you're depressed and/or depressing.
  6. People who think you have to conform perfectly to a certain subculture in order to identify with it (e.g. goth elitists).
  7. You can't rub your face without ruining your makeup.
  8. You worry about getting black lipstick on your food.
  9. People don't understand the differences between alternative subcultures.
  10. You like at least one music genre that nobody knows exists.
  11. Political correctness is killing your style. That awesome shirt with the sugar skull on it? Cultural appropriation. That Harajuku-inspired outfit? Cultural appropriation. Those dreadlocks? Cultural appropriation.
  12. People think you can't dress a certain way because of your race, gender, body type, or any other stupid reason. For example, people think that "true" goths have pale skin, and because of that, goth people of color face discrimination.
  13. Not all of your problems were listed here.
