>>4040019>Why are westerners stuck on goth and emo1. the subcultures that succeeded them in USA (hipsters, SJW, wiggers, whatever those nu-rappers covered in skitties are called, /pol/tard groypers, soijaks, onlyfans camwhores, etc) fucking suck and there's no way to display them in media in a positive light, not even in gay nostalgic art like the stuff posted ITT.
2. the people that used to be emos, goths, vampires, scene kids, and similarly "cringe" cultures are now old enough to feel nostalgic about the dumb things they did as kids and teens.
3. deep down, everyone loves edgy things like emo/goth aesthetics, and when you combine them with cute boys (and girls, I guess) you can produce powerful results.
