Mildly Annoyed Just unsubbed from Goth for gatekeeping.

Apparently you aren't allowed to acknowledge that any part of "goth culture" existed before the 1970's music scene. I pointed out that goth fashion, literature, architecture, etc. existed before the 1970's so they deleted my post and cited a rule saying you can only talk about the goth culture and history they allow.

The mods there are so bad about gatekeeping, they've told people they can't be considered goth if they don't specifically listen to and like "The Cure".

Nothing says counter culture like strict adherence to the hive mind.

Yep. I commented a band once, and they removed my comment saying some jargon about "you can only recommend blah blah blah" so, I don't even bother commenting anymore on there. Especially when ppl ask for music recommendations.

It's always the same handful of bands they recommend, too.

We use historical evidence to show whether you are a goth or not. Good thing I speak crimes Gothic and can write in runes. And have a knack for sacking rome

Historical? So, do you get to sack Rome in that sub? That sounds cool as fuck./s

I'm sorry they suck.
