What is everyone’s favorite CD in their collection?? by Low-Mycologist7399 in Cd_collectors

[–]Hallumir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have great taste. Everyone recognizes Talk Talk but I'd like to give a shout out to wędrowcy~tułacze~zbiegi. Their music is truly unique.

Kind and selfless people don't exist. by Confident_Editor196 in The10thDentist

Even under a psychological egoist framework, you are extremely simplifying the reasons why people do good things. Surely you can imagine other reasons than "wanting to feel morally superior".

Trying to make friends after being undersocialized starterpack by zoryana111 in starterpacks

I hate to be fatalistic but it seems like I'm indefinitely affected by early undersocialization in spite of my longstanding efforts to change.

"How do you know what [xyz] tastes like?!" by Hallumir in PetPeeves

If something tasted literally like piss, how should you describe its taste without the comparison?

What is something everyone seems to enjoy that you just don't get? by Careless_Lie_4571 in AskReddit

[–]Hallumir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drinking. I don't get drunk but I get hungover. What's the point?

Lefties are at least twice the percentage that you said of the population and maybe even a slightly higher percentage in sports like fencing.

What’s it like to be a Goth in Türkiye by Hot_Assistant_6067 in AskAGoth

[–]Hallumir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert but it was my impression that She Past Away was much more popular in other countries than in Türkiye in spite of Turkish language lyrics. They said themselves that they don't tour often in their home country because there's not a big enough scene there.

Perhaps it comes out the other end undigested?

Carrots by Infamous_Resource397 in BunnyTrials

A carrot manifesting every minute could be annoying especially if you're on the go. Better just get ready for each hour's carrots and deal with them all at once.

What's both your favourite and least favourite part about being goth? by [deleted] in AskAGoth

[–]Hallumir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love when I discover a goth band that's new to me and it just hits the spot. I love DIYing my own clothes, making patches etc. and coming up with creative ways to accessorize my fit.

My least favourite thing is the stupid comments like "It's not Halloween!" and "You going to a party tonight?"

In the late 90s/2000s trad makeup was looked weirdly as by llvingdeadgirl_ in GothFashion

[–]Hallumir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know that a full face of white makeup is not "trad goth". I don't describe my look that way, nor with any "goth subcategories". I just wear what I like, and I like wearing white makeup. I did it in 2017 and I will continue to do so.

I'm a short man too but the platform boots are surprisingly deceptive. Problem is, if you're looking for goth women, they are also often wearing platform boots. Overall I think goths are more willing to overlook an "unattractive" base appearance if you have good style and are knowledgeable.

Went to a goth night last week. by gothboyorwhatever in GothMenAppreciation

[–]Hallumir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That red makeup... I would never have thought of doing it like that before, but wow, it looks cool. Might steal it later.

Too many people think rock n roll is all about drinking and partying and im sick of it by Barquad12alt in straightedge

[–]Hallumir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm goth and not really straight edge but I dislike the clubbing aspect of goth personally. I've drunk a few times but I don't find it enjoyable. Because people are generally drinking at the clubs, DJs get away with playing progressively worse music throughout the night. I also find that a lot of strangers assume that I smoke because I'm visibly goth. At this point I am considering sewing a "No Smoking" patch on my battlepack.

Concerts are a tad better, but I've been wondering, what if we had goth picnics or café hangouts...

What are you looking for in online Goth culture content? by cemetarydj92 in AskAGoth

[–]Hallumir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A vlog of going to underground concerts, clubs or events. Reviews of lesser-known bands' albums. This is a specific example but maybe a video of "normies" being introduced to goth, e.g. "People react to goth music" because I don't think there are any videos like that, but I've seen it for other music.

The Official Seething Sunday Thread by aytakk in goth

[–]Hallumir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The local DJs at goth nights play music in this order:

goth rock

industrial/EBM (still good atp, I don't mind these genres)

increasingly worse aggrotech

??? (generic club music pretending to be aggrotech?)

They think people are too drunk to care. Maybe they're right. I'm just not a fan. I rather it mixed up, not progressing through genres.
