patreon:   / crimesnewroman   membership: click the "join" button :3 Today class, we take a look at what has come to be known as the "Fake Goth Girl", "OF Goth Girl", "Shien Goth Girl"...they have many names. Have you heard of such a thing? It's an apparent new form of life as goth culture, like every other kind of culture, has become more commodified in NOTHING BUT GOOD WAYS. Do you know about Pinkychu and Drake? Are you aware of their cultural signifiers such as White Monster, dog cages, and black lipstick? What about the weird gross men who continually dehumanize alternative women as "dommy mommies" for money? Or the women who do the same thing? The fetishization of alt women, the evolution of how cultures are maintained, and how data and capital influence both of those two previous things are what we will be diving into today, so get your white monster and make sure you're all comfy in your dog kennel as we go down this rabbit hole together.
