  As a Mexican, I love your mention of the fight in Mexico because it was a big deal! You mentioned that teens are usually the main focus of goth, emo, and punk aesthetics, and that was true over there, the main difference is that in Mexico most schools wear uniforms with makeup, painted or long hair, and even painted nails sending you to detention. The only thing you could do was a jacket or hoodie, so you had to hide your subculture. However, with enough signifiers, you could be identified as one, creating a tight community for those who recognized your Nine Inch Nails or My Chemical Romance hoodie that was technically appropriate for school. It was after school (or outside of school grounds where teachers usually don't care what happens) or on weekends that your subculture would shine, and when these groups would physically fight each other. It's very surreal to remember it considering that there was a fight between emos and punk/goths because emos got tired of the hatred, the police were involved and it was only stopped by the Hare Krishnas.

  Straight into the Visigoths for the beginning.  Perfection.

  I am so glad that Lydia Deetz was shown to still be goth in the beetlejuice sequel. She is the only character I can think of who was shown to age and STILL express herself as she did in her youth. Showing that her being goth was not a phase but a core part of her self. Especially her bangs. I will forever love her pinch strand bangs. 🖤

  According to Angela Benedict, who's a goth YouTuber who has been active in the scene since 1995 at 15 years old, interns from Anna Sui's would show up to goth nights in New York to sketch the attendees.

  As a art history student who is currently studying gothic in the contemporary arts, this is feeding my soul in the best way possible and also perfect to study for my mid-terms😊

  I honestly think goth looks (any and all sub-genres included) are just so cool even if they&apos;re more mainstream nowadays they&apos;re still super cool and represent being yourself no matter. i hope one day when i can afford it i can take these styles into my own personal style

  My middle school life was dressing like Lizzie Mcguire and very preppy while hanging out with goth kids because we had similar interests in shows, movies, ect. I just preferred wearing cute and pink clothes.
