I was scrolling through My Facebook news feed this morning and saw this post by Daniel Graves of Aesthetic Perfection. I smiled when I read “Goth heartthrob” and burst out laughing when I read this comment underneath:
OK, let’s get this straight. Just because you dress in black, wear black eyeliner, have cool hair, are covered in tattoos, listen to Goth music, create Goth music, or shop at Hot Topic, it doesn’t mean you’re “Goth”. You’re definitely not Goth if you were born in Mexico, own a vegan makeup line, starred in a reality TV show, and married a cholo. Sorry Kat. Don’t throw a burrito at me.
Hot Topic was actually the first store I visited when I moved to the US in 1999 to marry a Goth wannabe/raging alcoholic. I know. I was young, desperate, and the main reason I did it was because I wanted to get revenge on My abusive boyfriend of 10 years in Australia. I went to Hot Topic so that I could buy My husband-to-be a black strait-jacket to wear on our wedding night in Las Vegas. How appropriate. Back then, Hot Topic was kind of cool and because the Goth wannabe was also a broke-ass, I had to buy his wedding outfit for him.
One day while he was at work I went through his computer and discovered that he had been talking to another girl while he was talking to Me and making marriage plans with her as well. Imagine my horror when I discovered I had just married an impostor. A legitimate Goth would never cheat on or abuse a woman and here I was, stuck in the middle of the fucking desert on the other side of the world, married to a two-timing wannabe. I should have known he was a fraud when he told me his idol was another wannabe who was a martial artist dressed like a vampire. Again, I was young and thought real Goths were half-Asian.
Double whammy. Two Goth wannabes in one shot (Marilyn Manson and ex). Interesting that they both have small hands ….
