\"tragic-fashion-boy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have wasted several hours tonight by following links from blog to blog, and here’s the scoop:<\/p>\n

There are a ton of blogs that seem dedicated to advancing a style I want to call Clueless Goth<\/strong>. It’s heavy on the black, with lots of chains, studs, torn shit, leather, and the enthusiasts are too young to know it’s all been done before. They will post a photo like the Tragic Fashion Boy <\/strong>above, evoking comments like “fucken sicc.”<\/p>\n

Dude, this is so depressing. I don’t know why, it just is. I learned yet again that Chloe Sevigney can do no wrong. Erin Wasson is still popular. Kids who look like they’ve been molested all their lives are featured in pictorials proudly flaunting their tattoos and blabbing about their muses. Lou Doillon<\/a> is a big deal, even though she looks like a horse.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to single out any bloggers in this report, because I can’t work up a good head of hatred for any of them as individuals. They’re more like a social ill or a trend to take note of, from a distance.<\/p>\n
