I had no idea what this was so I had to look it up: https://theitcrowd.fandom.com/wiki/From_Goth2Boss
But it reminded me of something I read about aging goths:
“Happy Goth” may seem like an oxymoron — but that’s the point. [Academic Leah] Bush argues that Goths’ success in aging has a lot to do with their ability to juggle opposing, seemingly paradoxical energies. Take Goths’ emotional intensity: While off-putting to some, Goths’ willingness to harness dark feelings such as despair, gloom and hopelessness, rather than repress them, can prove healthier in the long run, Bush says. Equally vital is Goths’ ability to find humor, irony and beauty in supposedly “ugly” sources, such as flowers that grow by a cemetery or the absurd frailties of the aging body. In a culture, for instance, that already treats older women as frightful, why not own that, and become the most fabulous grand dame of darkness the world has ever seen?
Catching scurvy was the best thing that ever happened to me.
What a fucking magnificent image
