In the comment section of a video I watched recently, many people were seemingly really offended by some guy wearing a t-shirt with 666 on it (hexbear.net)

Are metalheads and goths just not a thing anymore? Why are all these young people reacting like religious grandmas from the 70s? I wore band shirts with upside down pentagrams and crosses all the time in high school. Edgy satanic imagery is about as subversive as skateboarding or pissing Calvin

Seems there's a generation or two that understands goth as a type of big-titty gf, the punk rock and sensation novel origins have been buried for archeological rediscovery.

Well, before the novel genre it was an architectural style and before the architectural style it was pertaining to a people speaking an East Germanic language.

East Germanic

GDR-emblem Bring it back but this time base its socialist identity on both surviving and staying classy when the moribund nobility have you stranded in a crumbling remote estate with multiple secret doors concealing skeletons both literal and figurative

sensation novel origins

I've gotten really into the Interview With the Vampire new show, and some of the people watching it seem so confused when people call it a Gothic romance, and when the people in it show all the traits of Gothic romance, too. It's so strange to me.
