Okay but fr I think mild gatekeeping in alternative subcultures is okay, because I think we shouldn't just let anyone in.

I don't think a Trump supporter should be able to say they're a punk and I don't think someone who sees goth as PURELY "egirl" fashion should be allowed to call themselves goth. Idk if this makes me sound like an asshole but imo if you don't regularly listen to the music or aren't aware of the history/movement behind a subculture, you aren't in it.

I do think there is a level of gatekeeping that is too far but my brain can't put it into words rn if you understand.

Iโ€™m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says โ€œthatโ€™s not a real name, but alrightโ€ which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80โ€™s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
