If I had to describe "alt", it would be anything "alternative" like punk, rock, scene, goth, etc. It's popular among younger women.

Saturday night I’m going to see the goth band Clan of Xymox in New Orleans. I’ll take some pics for you. 😀

I'm tired of it. I want people to look "normal".

reply

[–] aliensalmon (5605) 5 months ago

Fair enough, but if everyone looks "normal", wouldn't that be kinda boring? Variety is the spice of life.

reply

[–] curiousMInd101 (3416) 5 months ago

Yes, I agree, but it feels like the "alts" have become the new normal. It's out of control. I want to go back to the old normal for a while. The normal normal.

NEVER EXISTED...EXCEPT MAYBE IN YOUR HEAD.

[–] curiousMInd101 (3416) 5 months ago

Sure it existed. There is always some norm. It's what the majority of people look like, what they wear, their haircuts, the way they speak, etc. Wasn't there a particular look in say the late 90's. If you think of the mainstream fashion, what do you picture? Did those people look goth or "alt" like these people in the pictures? Of course there are subcultures but those are not mainstream.

FALSE....THAT IS A CLOSE MINDED AND WILDLY INCORRECT TAKE.

reply

[–] curiousMInd101 (3416) 5 months ago

What's false about it? Can you explain? I'm genuinly curious what your take is. I don't think I've said anything controversial.

[–] Kowalski (75523) 5 months ago

NOPE...I AM FAIRLY WELL DONE INTERACTING WITH YOU...YOUR DIVISIVE BULLSHIT IS NOT CUTE NOR IS IT REQUIRED TO SPARK CONVERSATION....IT'S UGLY JUVENILE BULLSHIT.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I respect your point of view, I just disagree. My humor is not for the faint of heart. But there are people here who enjoy it and so I do it for them.
I still like you and hope you change your mind about interacting with me. I like your posts and think you're a swell guy.
Last time we interacted, in my previous life, we talked about season 3 of Picard. I was banned before I could ask you what you thought of it. Since my return, I was always meaning to ask. Now I guess I'll never know. :'(

It looks like people who have watched too much anime.

I been torn for years on it. There's something attractive but also very detestable about goths.

[–] Skavau (15993) 5 months ago

alt =/= goth tbf

like 30 years ago alt was grunge music, and post-hardcore. "Alt" looks very different 20 years ago to what it is now

[–] roger_dat (1562) 5 months ago

You mean flanels and worn jeans? That is dated af

[–] spacecomedy (2043) 5 months ago

Do goths exist in very hot/humid climates? Are there goths in India? Or Vietnam?

reply

[–] aliensalmon (5605) 5 months ago

No idea.

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21457) 5 months ago

Yes. I live in Louisiana and there are goths here. Lol

reply

[–] spacecomedy (2043) 5 months ago

Cajun Goths?! They must sweat more than the garlic in Justin Wilson's pot roast!

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21457) 5 months ago

Yep! There are even goth mosquitoes here.

always the same old same old: trying too hard to be different or unique by covering how they look normally.

then they grow up.

reply

[–] parkerbot (8996) 5 months ago

No, no.

They're really special and unique.

"Alt" isn't really a some kind of subversive, overt or striking fashion style.

[–] aliensalmon (5605) 5 months ago

Maybe? I guess it is hard to define...

I'd say that's clown show.

Nah, I was a punk. Anyone showing up like that would've had their ass kicked. That's not alternative. It's Halloween.
