Sometimes Gatekeeping Is Good!

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.

Johnny Rotten being in a butter commercial never fails to baffle me tbh

PLEASE READ!!!

You know that feeling when you open your laundry and realize one sock is mysteriously missing? Here’s the truth no one wants you to know:

Socks aren’t just disappearing. They’re being taken.

It started in the 1950s, when sock manufacturers noticed a strange pattern: socks weren’t just getting worn out—they were vanishing from homes. At first, it was brushed off as careless laundry habits, but then, the phenomenon spread. Whole sock pairs were disappearing from laundry baskets, never to be seen again. No one could explain it. But the TRUTH? The socks are being collected by a covert organization known as "The Thread."

The Thread is an underground network of laundry enthusiasts—self-appointed custodians of the global sock economy. They believe that socks are more than just fabric; they are energy conduits that store the residual emotional energy of their owners. A well-worn sock, they argue, is infused with a kind of personal aura, representing the essence of its owner’s daily experiences. In short: socks are more than just clothing—they are SPIRITUAL BATTERIES.

The Thread's goal? To collect enough energy from discarded socks to fuel a GLOBAL SHIFT IN POWER. They have been siphoned off, one by one, into a vast underground warehouse where the accumulated energy is harvested.

THIS ENERGY IS NOT HARMLESS

WHY DO THEY NEED SOCKS? BECAUSE SOCKS ARE WOVEN FROM YOUR ESSENCE. YOUR FAVORITE PAIR?

IT HOLDS MORE THAN JUST FOOT SWEAT AND MAN MILK.

IT HOLDS YOUR MOOD, YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR ROUTINES—EVERYTHING THAT MAKES YOU, YOU. ONCE THEY’VE AMASSED ENOUGH SOCK ENERGY, THE THREAD WILL UNLOCK THE FINAL PHASE: THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VERY FABRIC OF SOCIETY ITSELF.

ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THE PUSSIES OF MERCY 😭🙏🏻
