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.

Nah, but the Harley biker is certainly a gay look

I don't know where I heard it but I think the sound of a Harley V-twin engine sounds a lot like a throaty man voice shouting

BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER LOOK HOW GAY I'M NOT BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER

On second thought I think I heard it from a canadian redneck madman on youtube. ZipTies&BiasPlies

I go with black socks, black sandals, black cargo pants and black turtleneck all year around.

Well, I'll change for combat boots when the snow comes.

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.
