They know the goth club owners out here. My friend grew up with it.

I'm still not speaking out of line for calling it a consumer brand in light of you trying to emulate what it was prior to the cliches. I don't need to know about it to know this.

Just as you probably don't know **** about juggalos or horrorcore culture as a whole and nobody is going to argue if you say that it's also a consumer brand.

Edit: Then again, I don't like pretentiously surrounding myself in a cultural echo chamber or bubble, I like being introduced to new ideas, or styles or arts especially when it comes to music.

Columbine is still inspiring would be shooters. I think that’s evidence that school shootings, maybe only subconsciously, are a statement against compulsory education.
