Dang, this book is nostalgic. It was released in 2002 (the same year I received that comforter it's currently laying on, incidentally), back when I was nine/ten-years-old and my baby bat journey officially began. Over half of the websites mentioned are Geocities or Angelfire and a bunch of the bands and messageboards it mentions no longer exist.

TIKTOK GETTING BANNED IS AN EARLY SIGN OF FACISM

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.
