i used to be deeply anxious about going to shows and raves alone (still am tbh and i always just want to grab my phone and scroll and zone out). after i went to a show with this guy who kept grinding up against me in the mosh pit (i think he was trying to protect me but ugh i was like why'd i ask him if he wanted to go) and saw all these cuties in the crowd by themselves looking so peaceful i decided i am good going places alone :))))
i wanna infiltrate more rich spaces with my broke arse- yes I will sneak in my meal deal.
But in the sense that I will “dress up” for the occasion - but my clothes won’t be designer and will have loose strings because I don’t feed into the consumerist hell hole. so I showed up to the opera in full leather (second hand).
if people with money can appropriate and fetishise working class style and culture, then it’s only right for me to return the favour.
