Goth Culture: The Scapegoat of the 90’s

Описание: In 1999, the media became hyper-fixated on blaming “goths” - and by extension every visually-striking alternative subculture under the sun - for violence. Today I’m looking at one of the most ridiculous moral panics in recent memory & how it affected culture for nearly 20 years.

Am I the most qualified person to speak on this issue? No. Some nuances of culture & era will slip through the cracks. But, I’m tired of waiting for someone else to do it. - Even if I didn’t have to deal with it that much (thankfully lmao)
This video is half video essay, half angry rant about social issues, so please forgive any pacing issues! I tried my best lmao
