Inspiring quote in the bible. Even though there's this change of tone in the video, I did get a good DM from a christian who liked the video. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRTMPdaG/

Goth is becoming more popular than it has ever been. Take for example The Cure cover "The Perfect Girl" that has by total over billion streams. Of course a lot of it has to do with universal feeling of melancholy, spread through TikTok. Just noticed that even TWIX uses Belarusian postpunk song that quotes Russian poet's words about institutionalized life, where death feels more cozy than life - but there's a desperate longing to face life directly, to cry, and to keep living rather than disappear. Btw, this Twix commercial got banned in Britain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7lBA5aX-iI While TikTok follows trends - and I'm quite surprised to see something as underground as Radio Werewolf being played by teenagers & young adults - there's also people like a clothing market in St. Petersburg (Russia), named Kissa Market (Kissa means Cat in Finnish) that isn't just a company but a whole philosophy and a collective answer to life's struggles. These photos market their own brand of clothing, and their shop in the "ruins of empires".

How's public transport in your country? Before switching to a train, I were on a buss where each seat had tablet, you could play Anrybirds and what not. I guess we have to make sure that people are distracted at all times!

Here's my compilation: "What is Goth (Video Album)" I recommend to watch it when you have the time to let it carry you and reveal what it has to give, like playing an unknown album from a library. https://youtu.be/A5LBLhRAew8?si=kSpsfreCwOrnY-sv
