Can you imagine just walking around in modern society looking dolled up like a member of poison? I'm sure they didn't even go around like that every day.

don't care gonna keep wearing my loose plain shirts and cargo shorts and tennis shoes until the day i die
Could probably get lots of dick too. I yanked it to the Poison album cover for about a year before I learned that they were dudes, and then like maybe three more months
Too much effort to maintain a look. I would rather feel good then look good at this point in my life.
Internalized homophobia is a hell of a thing to overcome. Some guys think those things are gay because that's what they were told by figures of authority.
Source: was raised as one of those guys.
The Danes, thanks to their habit to comb their hair every day, to bathe every Saturday, to change their garments often, and set off their persons by many such frivolous devices. In this manner, they laid siege to the virtue of the married women, and persuaded the daughters even of the nobles to be their concubines.”
Nike dudes even starting to get the monk haircut.
It's not gay, I'm just not goth. Also you can get quite far by not being a twat and knowing when to roll your sleeves up.
Same here. I prefer looking all bright and happy on the outside to hide the darkness on the inside!
You mean because you’re in Dexy’s Midnight Runners?
No, Ive never met Eileen, let alone cum on her...
Rolling up your shirt sleeves (as shown in fig 1) is a known panty pickler:
fig 1 - dude about to get some
I don't pretend to know why, but it works.
Offset by a nice (from a fashion sense, not cost) watch? My wife would be drooling lol.
Now if only I had Chris Hemsworth's Thor physique to go with it.
Nah, but the Harley biker is certainly a gay look
thank rob halford for bringing that look to the masses
Ah yes, the leather daddy BDSM iconic gay "look" that these totally hetero men who go on long trips together to scenic areas without women, and with vibrations the whole way to excite the twig and berries, and a nice massage to relax the rear end.
Bigger stretch than professional wrestling, but not much.
God fearing, homosexual hating trailer park kids don't realize that watching two oiled up men in spandex is.... well, pretty fucking gay. Not meant to be disparaging, I just mean the only things missing are penetration and a money shot.
the money shot is when they get color aka bleed. then it gets exciting
Metal is my religion,
And Judas is my Priest.

I don’t know if I’ve got a big enough sample size, but the only guys I know who wear black nail polish are creepy Marilyn Manson types who mainly get laid with girls they met in their therapist’s waiting room
Laid is laid. Also the crazy ones are objectively hotter.
I recall there being a warning about crazy
trick is to just be crazier
They also warn you about drugs. But drugs are awesome!
I have sex on drugs with crazy hot women pretty regularly! It feels great and is certainly maximizing pleasure and euphoria. There are downsides of a less stable life, unhealthy relationships, but the lack of boredom makes up for it.

So, Ricky Nightshade?
The problem is most average looking men, when bedecked in goth shit, look like Bluey got run over by a Spencer's truck.
The dude in everyone's imagination wearing black makeup and jewelry looks like a strung-out rockstar with don't-give-a-fuck vibes who lives for adventure and wild nights. The vast majority of ACTUAL men have the body-shape of a rectangle and have to spend most of every day waiting in lines, attending Zoom calls, explaining to customers why their wifi doesn't work (Reset the router Ethel, no that's not a router, you're holding an egg steamer.)
We gotta abandon the idea that people have "looks" at all times. Lets repopularize costume parties so guys get a chance to try to dress-up without it being some kind of shocking change to their entire persona. I had a stiff, straight-edge boss who attended a Halloween party and went goth. Completely unrecognizable, he was a legend.
Back when I was a young, gay goth, one of my closest friends talked me into going out swapping wardrobes. He was(and still is) very handsome, but he is one of those preppy gay guys.
I hate the fact that our Polaroids of that night got lost. It was such fun, and although I didn't recognize myself in the mirror, it felt amazing, being a different version of myself for a night. And he felt so free, not having to worry about his hair and looks for the night, wearing comfortable, scuffed to hell boots, instead of his traditional suede shoes.

Yeah but isn't that what women do when "going out"? Makup and clothes that create a different look and style?. Maybe call it "persona", like "my social persona is male harajuku" (lol)
Yeah but isn’t that what women do when “going out”?
Yah but it still doesn't give men in particular the pass to experiment, to try new identities or personal expressions. I may be mistaken, but I think this was the origin of the "fancy dress party" before Halloween co-opted the idea and made it so trying out a new a "fancy outfit" is now dressing up in cheap plastic masks of stereotypes.

Of course girl with a goth profile picture and spiders in her name thinks goth style is hot.
In the meanwhile my bald head and nike sweatpants attract eastern european girls like a lamp with moths. You catch what you fish for.
Try to complete your Gopnik style with a few items more.

I mean, it maybe wasn't gay, but was definitely a reference to something hellish, depraved, opposed to common morality, weak, like that.
Because back then it clearly meant protest against authority, against hierarchy, against stereotypic masculinity, against war, against evil covered by normalcy.
In some sense it's an intentional show of vulnerability, that look.
And I'd take that over Kipelov in Russia every day, that moron who doesn't fucking understand what rock music is.
Do you have any idea how much pussy you can get wearing this shit?
I'd say an average of two divorced house wives, one assistant school teacher, one confused undergrad and half a random barrista per year.
