I came across a goth girl in a running car. The doors were locked, but a note on the window read; She is fine. Please do not call the police or break the window. She is listening to Choir Boy and the air conditioning is ON

Sometimes I think my Hot Topic emo fit is rough and then I go to ren faire and see a goth in 10x as many layers or someone in a full fursuit and I cannot fathom the dedication.

Real goths don't go outside during summer.

I'd foster a goth girl if any are in need of rehoming.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 75 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's the trick to goth girls. You think you're adopting them, but they've adopted you.

I don't care who the collar goes on, as long as I'm happy.

We don't tend to like people and are slow to warm up

are slow to warm up

That must be nice in a heatwave

Ken Jennings is a surprisingly funny internet commenter and author. His books are actually pretty good, I wouldn't have predicted that 20 years ago.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 3 points 18 hours ago

I’m not surprised his books are good, he was college roommates with Brandon Sanderson.

[–] onlyhalfminotaur@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like he has a good niche. It's such a shame he was picked to host the show though.

Last year a goth femboy friend of mine went on a river float trip.

I was really curious to see what he'd look like under all that.

He wore two layers of shirts, fishnets, and baggy black pants. With striped socks of course.

And then wore the dripping outfit to dinner after.

Dedication.

Soggy goth femboys sounds like a goth band that covers blue grass...

In the Big Goth Candy Mountains 
You always wear black socks 
And the little streams of mascara
Come a-trickling down the rocks

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 1 day ago

Now I want the full song. I can sing if we can scrounge up the rest of the band.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

The Soggy Bottom Boys have fallen on hard times

I had a similar experience, but ours only wore swim shorts and nearly died of hypothermia. I had to swim his tube to a random dock so he could warm up.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fortunately many goths have more albedo than their non goth equivalents which can help mitigate the effects

I like how all the photos for the Google AI blurb are from anime

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pffft, an umbrella and net stockings will work pretty well for both arms and legs in summer. And they also make goth boots in non-thigh-high variants.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah. Band shirt with cut-off sleeves. Black shorts. Black converse hi-tops. OP only applies to insta e-girls/boys.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 23 hours ago

Yeah I was gonna say those fishnet tops look pretty ventilated.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was Ken Jennings a Goth kid? He would’ve graduated high school in the early 90s so he’s the right age…

[–] jdf038@mander.xyz 9 points 1 day ago

Maybe secretly? I felt like I always liked it but wouldnt jump into the style

Shame on you for tricking me into clicking on a real link to Bluesky!

Goth Night at the Kadan, in the early 2000s, was kick ass! Best part was that Kadan was a dive bar, in the kinda-sketch-not-yet-gentrified neighborhood of Normal Heights, the rest of the week. But for that one night the freaks and bats came out to get hammered! It’s some lame mustachioed hipster cocktail bar now. The whole hood turned into a hipster trainwreck.

Anyway, Goths were good fun! And yes, summer in San Diego posed a complexion problem! 🤣

Reminds me of Northern West Palm. It's sad to see awesome things go.
