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".

This song feels different if you wasted years on crushing over a person wo deosn't like you the same way...Even when you are over it the melancholy in her voice is relatable... https://youtu.be/gWRbgoeIiFM

Gosh I'm SO in love with the melancholy of her Voice and the aesthetic of this video... 🥰 this will probably play nonstop on my 2 hr car drive tomorrow https://youtu.be/365scDALoOk

Mines Lady Night Melancholy😂 Kinda maybe suits me though. I need the old :goth emote!

How to train air to stop choking me? Melancholy has become my mantra and I am not proud This summoning is a default I try to reset I regress to sadness in these sheets bleeding boredom and staring at ceilings My eyes feel rutted textures Pitted with paint. Longing for feeling Out of my reach Meditate again tomorrow The healing will come Once the breathing is done. Christi steyn
