Wait. This is unappealing to you guys? I'll take the goth mommy then.

    This is what kids call goth now?

    Goth used to be all Satan and death and sometimes kittens.

    Is it all kittens now?

    Goth is now just what the E-Girls with black lipstick call themselves. Gone are the days of Bauhaus, true Goth is with Bela Lugosi now.

    Same happened to punk, just 20yr ago. And it'll happen to your subgenre!

    Oh for sure, but musical genres are different for a reason. Much of what is claimed to be punk these days is simply "a different genre," and it should be ok to be "a different genre than punk." You can see it as gatekeeping all you like, but My Chemical Romance (commonly claimed to be punk in my area by the people who I am talking about, "those who don't know what they are talking about") is as punk as Buck Owens (nobody makes that claim, I use him to point out the ridiculousness of everything having to be specifically punk regardless of the actual genre.)

    Just call yourselves something else if you are something else, just like you would with everything else. You don't hear me claiming Discharge is the best goth band around, do you? I'm not proclaiming to be a goth because I like D-Beat am I? So why am I the asshole for expecting others to learn the differences in genres and subcultures? What, all heavy music and black clothing is the same to you? That's subcultureist!

    (Btw if it isn't clear that this debate in which I am correct is as serious as pineapple on pizza, it ain't that deep. I'm still right though, you can be free to have your own thing without claiming to be something you're not, it's ok, it's actually better!)

    pretty sure goth died to EDM in the 90's. it was a weird transition, too. from somber to dark rave, and it happened really fast. probably in large part due to the matrix movies and hot topic.

    Nah, real goths are still around. We still listen to all the classics, and most of those genres are still alive and have newer albums. Some of the newish (or thriving) goth genres are: minimal synth, witch house, neofolk, dark jazz, dark trap, deathstep, electropunk/synth punk. We're just lurking in the shadows, which is kinda an obvious place for us to be when you think about it 😉

    My area has a bit going on too, and kicking out nazi punks is par for the course, but that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people who's "favorite punk band" is like my chemical romance or a day to remember, which are not punk.

    Am I the only one thinking this is fake because its a 32MB file?

    Email usually caps out at 25MB...

    Depends on your provider, theoretically you could also send a few gigs

    They're technically half right though. Gmail does have a native send limit of 25mb, and anything above that will be a drive link. They can just receive larger ones and other services like 365 have higher limits available.
