- Time to kick back and watch another 90s talk show gem that features alternative fashion. Today we have a fine assortment of goths, with the bonus feature of an older woman in the tattoo scene and a man with a 9 inch mohawk. The Ricki Lake show was popular in certain areas but for the most part wasn't as big as say, a Phil Donahue which would have come from the same area of daytime TV. These outfits are super iconic and VERY reminiscent of the 1996 industrial goth scene.
Hi! I'm The Stitchess! I'm an interdisciplinary artist and seamstress. I started sewing when I was 8 and loved it so much I made it the focus of my study in college. After a lifetime of battling severe mental health issues - I found healing in the radical softness and Japanese kawaii communities. As much as I love fashion and clothing, I also think it's important to consider how and where clothing is made. I went fast fashion free at the start of 2019 to voice my concerns over the rapid consumerism gripping the garment industry. By no means am I perfect, but I think it's important to show that change is a process. I believe it is always important to strive to be better, even if perfection is unattainable. Thank you so much for letting me share my art and process with you. I hope we can all grow together.

Critisizing adults for dying their hair unnatural colors is stupid because most kids aren't allowed to do it, so they can only do it in adulthood.
Ikr. I'm not allowed to do anything with my hair now as a teen (since I don't even have my own money or anything) so yeah I'm only gonna be able to do that when I become an adult and get a job.
Plus, what about the double standard, the adults with brown hair dye theirs blond, that's not their natural color, they are not trying to cover gray hairs, they want a different look, but when it's blond it's okay, when it's green it's not
I shaved my hair during the Skrillex fad and the worst thing that happened was my mom being a bitch about me being a human being capable of making decisions. Kids should have more freedom in terms of their appearance so they learn to take care of themselves.
One more year left for me until I can have that blue hair I wanted since I was 12. Mom doesn't let me right now and I wish she would.
When I was still in school I told my mom I wanted to color my hair bright red with some temporary dye. She didn't just love the idea, she helped me do it! Lol. It actually ended up looking pretty cool! Temporary dyes like Manic Panic usually only last a couple weeks, so it's not hard to go back to "normal" if you know when you need to look that way!
The first audience dude who said she should accept her daughter is precious and should be protected.
Omg just got to that that's so cute
I love him
Can he teach classes to parents please
He deserves everything I love him
That man made me cry with happiness. I hope hes well and had a great life so far and many more years to come!
“I don’t like the way you dress, so you’re not going to college”
rip
exactly lmao. like nobody thinks like that. social media wasnt super big in the 90s either, so how would they know what you look like? you dont send in a headshot with your application.
Lol the mom who said “she needs a JOB or she’s KICKED OUT” and then the daughter was like “I already have a job.” Insert surprised pikachu here.
Lame Posers
Apparently being a well oiled cog in the hyper capitalistic machine of America is more important than having a healthy relationship with your kids. That’s where their worth and importance comes from. Not just by existing and being a moral person. That’s what it comes down to.
r/leopardsatemyface
A guy everyone in our town knows poked my neck and said I’ll never get a job or a husband with a hickey on my neck and a lip piercing. Me and my husband just got off work and we’re getting pizza.
But R.I.P. Harley. He was the towns biker who ran our local burnouts event
@@jamiebarrientos9969 I had a teacher who said hickies made me look gross and slutty. Hahaha. My mom also wasnt ok with me getting a tattoo till my husband said I shouldnt get one the. She was like "who is he to say u can't get one." Then yrs later he was like you know what get one. Then my mom was dissappointed that i would tattoo my body. My mother also let my older sister dye her hair a lot cause it was brown but because i had gorgeous bright blonde hair and that "people pay hundreds of dollars to get hair like mine" i wasn't allowed to dye my hair. Did it anyways but like damn haha. But i love dying my hair. And i love my tattoos and plan on more. And my husband is happy with how I look. My mom also used to say that dying my hair would give people the wrong impression. That I'm a wild child who parties and drinks and does drugs and is irresponsible. But im a shy person who doesnt do any of those things. She would get embarrassed and worried what people at church would think if i had colored hair. Its just funny.
all those women mad about the piercings act like they dont themselves wear earrings, possibly multiple lmao
Ikr! Its the same thing!
I want to like the comment, but I cant be the one to make it 870
NO IDIOT! The 90’s were completely different. You have no f*cking clue!
@@theoriginalkrabbypatty ??
My mom doesn't want me to get piercings yet she forces me to wear earrings
idk what this mom was expecting when she named her “miquie” like thats the edgiest spelled name i’ve seen in a long time.
RIGHT ITS ALWAYS THOSE MOMS. Like what do you mean my daughter indigo is a goth
Or it’s the parents that raise their kids on Tim Burton and The Addams Family and rock music and are like omg my kid is alt now?! (Totally not speaking from experience) (dw my parents are very supportive of how I dress)
"50% of her body is covered in tattoos."
One strip down one leg and a smattering of tiny tats does not constitute for half the body, sweaty.
I know! I was jazzed to see a mom in the 90s with 2 leg sleeves and a full back piece. Still cool, though.
lmao you said "sweaty" instead of "sweetie" and somehow that works better
@@milkshake3923 😂
To be fair, for the time she would have been considered heavily tattooed, even if she was a man. It's wasn't like now, where you see sleeves on a pastor. ;) Women were still only getting small or medium sized pieces until around the mid 90's, because you were considered loose , trashy or wild. These kids were the front runners for the loosening of the social norms and the freedom to be able to have peacock colours in our hair and not have it held against you at your job.
s w e a t y
why are all these parents like “you’re ruining your chances at getting a job or education looking like that! now let me take away your chances at getting a job or education”
It’s about the control.
@@tombrown5235 Exactly, that's what it's all about. They just can't understand that their kids are people too.
I believe parents do know their kids are people, except I do see (I think just 1 ) parent is getting a wake up call. Tho, parents won’t change their “ impulsive” reactions, mbe out of habit, ya know? (I like to believe parents can’t believe the freedom their kids have in society, while the parents growing up was restricted)
We gotta understand that some parents could care less about “ individuality,” as well. Parents,(I mean the show) understandably have a warped reaction on what’s right, so they negatively strain their kids as the result. They believe only in control.(I dunno if I said this right lol, use your own opinion on what you think)
There all butt-*ss backwards lol. Hot topic and ANY art studio here loves it when ppl dress n act how they really are and express themselves however they damn well please! 😃
Too bad the mom is all hell bent about her hair..makeup... Clothes... Instead of actually KNOWING WHO her daughter is
"I am a child of this universe and I am playing. I am playing!" woke
She knew something the rest of us didn't
Right?? And then when she bows down to the boy when he walks out Haha. She's too awesome!
That was sooooo funny x-D She was playing it to the hilt and I am so down for that!

The girl in the catsuit with the purple hair is absolutely gorgeous and seems quite smart.
She seems VERY smart
@@milkeyway7105 incorrect, she seems EXTREMELY smart
These alt kids walked so the next gen of alt kids could RUN!
So the dude thats grades are down, he doesn’t need to change his appearance, he needs help in school. Maybe he needs some homework help from his dad. Or an after school tutor. He doesn’t need to be berated on television and told that the reason he’s doing bad is that he’s dressing a certain way. Because if he did change to dressing “normal” he would still be having trouble in school. I hate that whenever a kid is having trouble in school they blame trivial things instead of trying to get their kids actual help. It hurts every time I see parents doing that.
It's like when I was told in school that I had to cut my hair and have a "normal haircut", my hair was just shorter on the right side than the left side, that was it, and I was a straight A student, it's as if, and bear with me, your look does not affect your learning curve
Exactly! A student getting consistent Ds and Fs in all subjects means that he needs support, not ridicule. He likely felt unmotivated in school, especially if he was being bullied, and struggled to put in the effort to excel.
Learning disorders also tend to go undiagnosed and written off as laziness or bad behavior; I was written off as lazy until a teacher suggested I might be dyslexic, then suddenly everything made sense! I had a student similarly written off as just not trying, until I happened to notice he couldn't match up the colors from an example with the correct crayon- he was actually a very bright student but he was just struggling because he was colorblind!
Sometimes the school itself could suck, that is a thing that happens sometimes.
If your child is ashamed enough to hide his report card from you, it means he knows he will get no assistance from you and only receive blame for not getting different grades. That’s a judgment on the parent not the child. Listen to your child. Don’t judge them on external appearance.
Some parents remind me of that "No, it is the children who are wrong Simpsons meme.
"Hrm. My child has poor grades or depression! Is this related to an issue they might need my love and support for? No, it is the fashion/hobby/music that is to blame!!"
Taking away eyeliner and clothing/video games/CDs/whatever is an appetizing quick fix compared to something that might require time and work.
Im sorry Alan said “he looks like hes from another planet” then his son comes out and he’s just and eboy. ☠️ I cackled
That's not even close to e-boy, that's trad-goth
@@DigitalxxAnimal exactly
Hes trad goth don't disrespect him like that hell nah
Alan must be soooo mad rn
He’s more a mix of early mall goth (which isn’t really goth, but u didn’t hear it from me) and trad goth
my favorite part of all of this was when each "freaky" person walked out, the previous alt people on stage clapped so loud and were so supportive of their looks, they just looked genuinely delighted at having more kindred spirits on stage with them
Me entering a goth club like
@Nicolasa both !! dont limit yourself
YES!!! And @11:44 is GOLD! She is too awesome!
When that guy said he would still love the first girl if she was his daughter and the mom was like "hAve HeR!!"
omg
That really tells her daughter all she needs to know.
Emotional abuse.
This is so sad. So assume the young adult leaves, now mommy is gonna get all offended that child won’t contact her
Explains why the daughter works so hard and digs so deep to find a self that she loves when she looks in the mirror...poor thing had to be her own powerful woman model, her mother failed her. The weaker willed and colder her mother is, the more fiercely the daughter has to burn just to stay alight. I hope her fire built a great support system for her.
I know! Broke my heart! 😭
"I don't think anyone up here looks like a freak"
What that woman is teaching her seven-year-old is not to judge a book by its cover. That woman is teaching her seven-year-old to be confident in who you are regardless of the naysayers. Good for her!
And then those same parents wonder why their kid is depressed, withdrawn, suicidal >_>

"The world was weird pre-james charles."
1. the commentary is making my day
2. as a 90's child, yes. yes it was.
“it’s almost like alternative fashions can help a person regain their sense of bodily autonomy and a relationship with their body.” This hit me so hard. Having piercings and dyeing my hair has made me feel so much freer and more creative than before and even helped me regain confidence in my outward appearance when I can look at myself in a different way
Edit: both the girls are absolutely gorgeous! I love both their looks!
For years my mother wouldn't let me cut my hair short even though I begged. Finally she gave in and told me she didn't care if I cried afterwards. My hair was down to my armpits and I cut it down to a pixie. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and became so confident. I'm growing it back out again but I don't regret doing that at all.
Dark Fantasy/Strega goth here. When I finally decided to start dressing the way I do I thought for sure I was going to think I looked ridiculous. Turns out, up this sort of thing suited me to an unearthly level, and has given me so much confidence as well as opened my eyes as to what really matters in a lot of dilemmas I'd been struggling with for way too long. I've also learned that the vast majority of people don't assume you will act like an evil witch just because you dress like one; they'll just ask where you buy your clothes.💚
Before I used to wear anything without thought, but once I started having my own style I felt way better!( I wear skirts, trench coats, whatever looks good) :>
As someone who i trans, that resonated in my BONES. I may not be able to change everything about my physical body that makes me uncomfortable, but I can at least do small things that make me feel good, like dye my hair purple or wear earrings that I have made. Next step when the plague is over is snakebites!! I just want to be able to look in the mirror and love the person that I see
As a nonbinary individual who has struggled with every form of body issues, this absolutely resonates with me.
Wearing alternative fashion has let me claim myself-let me _be_ myself. Crop tops have let me both fall in love with my imperfect stomach and helped balance out my long torso. Showing a little more skin in general helps me feel more confident than hiding behind baggy, modest clothing. Plus, with the way my gender shifts, I can actually dress in ways that better match my gender without it being obvious. I absolutely _love_ myself and my body now.
No offense but if I was that daughter and that woman just insulted my mom's body, she'd catch hands
Fr. So what if her stomach or body isnt perfect. And im glad shes proud of her body and when that women made a comment about how she shouldnt wear those clothes because shes had kids. Like all the damn more reason too. Show off she had kids and shes proud.
@@bl0nd3tim3s6 all bodies are perfect. back off with that rhetoric.

@@thecomorbiditycurator8018 In what part of society is this actually true?
She didn't even defend her own mother smh. Even if she doesn't agree with what her mother wears, nobody has the right to talk bad about someone else's parents like that. 😔
I love how the kids are so supportive of each other and are visibly excited when the next one comes out. Like the girl doing the praising bow when Alan Jr came out, like you love to see 'freaks' and 'misfits' supporting eachother without them having never met before.
My favorite assumption about alt fashion is that people look like this all the time? Do they really think the red lady gets red to go to work at the hospital? Come on, folks. Time and place. Theyre intelligent and can likely tell when its appropriate.
(Ahh, do i look forward to a time when its always appropriate tho)
Or like the one girl who mentioned that she had a job and they were like 'the piercing isn't allowed but the collar is?'. And it's like...she probably just doesn't put the collar on? It's clothing?
Yes! I consider myself goth but with traditional “girly girl” qualities but I wouldn’t dress my true aesthetic in front of my very conservative grandparents. There’s a time and place for everything.
It's funny to me how parents can act like this then be surprised when their kids leave home and NEVER return or make contact 🤣🤣🤣
Dude literally lmao I have no time for people who don't support the things that make me happy and neither should anyone else
This is going to make me sound incredibly stupid, but I don't think I understood why I left home until I read your comment.
I'm one of those gosh darned kids these days with the spiky clothes, no eyebrows, violent hair colour, tats, 30-odd piercings, etc, and my mom was openly disgusted by the way I dressed by the time I was 12. I moved out at 20 and now can barely bring myself to answer her calls because I know she's going to be an asshole about how I look.
Maybe..... that's shitty of her. Perhaps our relationship would be better if she stopped being a dick. I guess we'll never know.
BLUE joubert it’s definitely shitty. Mothers/parents should be supporting their kids, And in your situation, dressing the way you like and also enjoying it, there’s really no reason for your mother to not support you.
BLUE joubert 12? 12... Your mother was openly disgusted of you at the age of 12. I hope you’re getting therapy. That’s emotional abuse.
@@comphethime4966 I am indeed in therapy lol! And I don't really talk to her. Thanks for your concern :')
“Doesn’t that hurt?” Like how you pluck your eyebrows and wax your whole body for what you yourself think is beautiful?
Maybe Alan Jr is failing school because his home life is absolute trash because of how his father treats him... ever think of that Alan Sr?
I hate when parents pass THEIR name onto their child. Expecting them to be your follow up, that dad set me off as soon as I heard the sons name and the dads just a controlling prick.
@@jodiesmith1991 the practice of passing on names has been done for centuries. It's why surnames like Jameson, Jackson, Samson etc exist. They literally mean Son of James etc.
In earlier times it was an easy way to follow family lineage.
Moving forward to the 1900's common names were handed down through family lines to keep the name a tradition in the family. Names like Mary, Margaret, David etc were often switched between middle and first names for alternate generations.
And then you have the most degrading, manipulative and downright self obsessed naming convention that is for some reason quite predominant in America; Senior and Junior.
How self important must you feel to name your child directly after you. What have you done that is so great and notable that you feel the need to cement your greatness by robbing your child of their own individuality.

Saying to that mother she shouldn't wear a crop top because she had children and it shows on her body reinforces the tought that women are only to be desired when they are yound and free, and only a mom and no longer an woman once they have children. It's sad how this hasn't changed much since the 90s.
Also the idea that women can only wear crop tops for the purpose of being desired by men
Its like.. who says I want to be desired at all? If anything I want the girls to want me 😳
bacon thing Oh I’m sure if they don’t accept some drawings on your body and some color on your dead skin cells they absolutely wont accept you for being interested in other women. This type of stuff is always just shying away from condemning people for other things if you know what I mean. It’s bigotry lite.

All my love and appreciation to this lady, she’s nobody’s property and deserves all the support she can get. There’s no time limit on the freedom of self-expression
"It's easier to make friends when you put your true self out there." 👏👏
The whole “ your husband let’s you go out like that?” Made me angry. I forgot we’re supposed to ask permission on what we wear my bad. 🙄
It's like she was from the 1950's
All the body-shaming the mother gets makes me angry. I think the people who say they support the looks except for her only accept it bc it's a phase in their minds
Yea, they get so mad about it bc her presence is a direct 'attack' on their opinion that's it's "just a phase". If she's still dressing like that at 'her age' then they suddenly have to consider maybe it's not a phase, some people just want to dress like that 🙄
The whole " you're too old to wear that" mentality of people is ridiculous. Her children obviously know that they dont wanna wear short shorts, so it's not taht shes setting a bad example. And almost everyone has cellulite and stretch Marks so why is that an issue for them. If you dont wanna see her tummy , look at her face. ( now if it's a 8 year old wearing that, ok get concerned because it can get her /him in danger, but a grown woman with a grown mind, can wear what she wants)
It's one of those things you "aren't suposed to talk about" but I have had people I know tell me about the "death of self" they have experienced while parenting.
Like, obviously you can't live the way you did before when there is a kid to raise but they feel like they stopped being themselves and became only "Mommy" or "Daddy". A 24/7 pressure to "be a good parent", whether the child is present or not, and not have anything for themselves.
This woman? Has something for herself. She is expressing herself and keeping a sense of identity. As long as she is doing right by her kids, she is just fine and shouldn't be shamed for not cramming herself into a "Good Mommy" mold.
For me it's just that she's a mother. Idk, if my mom or dad were dressing provocatively when I was a little kid and kept doing it that would be a little inappropriate I think. I don't care if you're 63 and want to dress like that, but if you're a parent I think you need to set good examples, at least for younger kids because you know little kids are going to want to dress that way, too.
I hope I dress alternatively when I'm 63!
@@MaddieNiec Nah, that's total bullshit. You can be very conservatively dressed and be a terrible parent. You can dress like her and raise amazing children. Honestly, it doesn't matter and it is none of your business.

I love the last mom. She is wearing the most conservative outfit of any of them, yet she is the most understanding parent onstage. That's what a mom should be. I would wager that she has had the least trouble maintaining a healthy relationship with her son as he transitioned from childhood and adolescence into living as an independent adult.
She has the most Conservative outfit? Wtf? Are you sure you know what Conservative means?
I was referring to the mom in the long skirt and, if I recall correctly, sweater top who looked like she would fit right into a Sunday school class. I'd have to rewatch the video to remember exactly what her son looked like, but she was the most loving and accepting parent (at least on camera/stage) out of the lot.
I love how all the art fashions stick up for each other from punk and Lolita to historic. Rock on y'all
I am 47, and I shaved my head and dyed it mermaid colors for the first time at 42. I finally had the confidence to wear what I want. I had so many little girls come up to me and say my hair was beautiful. I hope I showed those little girls they could look however they choose and to be proud of their style. It is part of who they are. If it makes them happy, it is a good thing.
Good job at being bold! Love yourself

"She has electric blue hair and no future and that's why I kicked her out of the house" LOGIC 100
Your child has "no future" so you make them homeless.
Your child can't ruin their life themselves if you do it first!

(Waah why does my child never talk to me)
I love all these 90s people asking if those piercings hurt while they sit there with piercings in their literal ears lol
I've dyed my hair every color of the rainbow and wear alternative fashion. I have a 3.9 GPA studying to be a teacher. Only thing holding us back are bigots. The only reason why I stop dying my hair was because I got tired of bleaching my hair.
I was told that children would not take me seriously, especially girls, because I am a tomboy. Guess what, I made a lot of friends among kids, especially girls. They like me because I was listening to them and helped to resolve their conflicts as well as teached them important lessons about their bodies and relationships with boys. I was respected among children, they trusted me. Yeah, they weren't afraid of me, this is what I assume that person meant by 'respect'. So, go for it!
@@lemonlemon8272 nah, those kind of people usually mean "see you as their superior" or "fear your displeasure" when they say respect. Like when parents who regularly spank their kids say their kids wouldn't respect their authority without the spanking...
I miss coloring my hair, it's my natural color for the first time in years because I wanted to grow the damage out before I go pink again 🥰
@@audreygilmore7408 I'm trying to grow to classic length. If you want to avoid the damage avoid the bleach and go for a dark shade of pink. also wigs are your best friend with pop colors lol

This just made me want to START dressing alternatively lol
do it! personally, i look around thrift stores and buy cheap clothing and then edit them to how i want it. its a good cheap way to get started. there's stores that specialise in alt clothing, but they're usually more expensive
Do it
Do it do it do it even if it doesn't become your full-time look trying out alternative fashions is a lot of fun!
i just bought some alt clothes and im so excited to finally dress the way i feel!!!
LMAO
The mom of the boy with the mohawk and the mom with tattoos make my heart so happy.
Even the man in the green checkered shirt towards the end!
Yess she's so sweet
See for me coming from the '90s and growing up in this time. I understand what they're saying but I am glad she's doing that if her kids are complaining about her not being a doting loving mom then they would have a leg to stand on.
I love that and the alternative adults. It goes to show that adults can get it too when given the chance.
"don't those piercings hurt?" DOESN'T THAT FORESKIN REMOVAL HURT?
Doesn't waxing your legs, plucking your eyebrows, and piercing your ears hurt?
It's stupid because it just shows how serious we are lmao yeah they hurt and aftercare is alot of time/work and they cost alot. Same goes with tattoos
CACKLING
"my master isn't here she's at home" she??? yes i love that gay punk girls are the friggin best

Fs in the chat
I remember watching clips of this when I was 13 and in my baby-bat phase.
My mom was convinced that my bad grades came from my desire to wear black.
She even took them all and hid them at my aunt's house in a laundry basket.
Truth was, she was a narcissist, a child abuser, and wanted nothing to do with me. I never got help with homework when I asked. And most of the time I couldn't even count on food being in the house.
And no one ever asked me why I dressed goth. One sentence: "It helped me feel powerful in a life I had no power in."
I'm so sorry u had to go through that! I hope you're doing okay
I'm so sorry!!
Wow we must all love our mothers...not this one though well I’m just glad you were able to overcome that and feel above your mother 😼
Yes... My mom controlled every aspect of my life and took advantage of me financially for years. She’d tell people it was to build my credit. Granted she did take care of me but that came hand-in-hand with the beatings and control when I was younger because when she had a bad day; I had a bad day. I stood up to her at 23. I went out one time when I was 16 with a friend and she screamed at me for 2 hours. When my grandma asked her why she was so angry, she said “she thinks she’s going to grow wings, I’ll cut them.” Today she waits till family parties to belittle me. All of my family members had a hand in my abuse. I was the little pig that everyone in the family loved kicking to the ground including their friends. Fun! I’m glad you got your power through that form of self-expression. Oh, and I hope today you are all right and you’ve healed.
@@samie7025 so sorry they treated you like a scapegoated daughter. hope you are already or can go No Contact with all of them - believe me, it's wonderful ;) you don't owe these narcissists anything. there is a lot of content on youtube and books on narcissistic mothers and parents nowadays. it's really helpful
I just love that they gave each alt fashion person their own big entrance, with a fog machine and "cool person" theme music. We love to see it.
when literally any of them walked out i just got jealous, i wanna be them
Same lmao

"She looks like a FREAK." Sounded so animated-
Also we should normalize men wearing makeup everywhere makeup is cool. AND HE LOOKS SO COOL.
Okayyy so here's my issue with this. Alt people don't normally go around like "haha look at you wearing a t-shirt and shorts you don't look unique" yet non-alt people are like "wHY DO YOU LOoK LiKe A cLOWNNNN?!?!?!???!??!!"
Her little love speech at the end was nice.
normalize men wearing things that girls usually wear and girls wearing things that are usually for men 😳
@@tumb9510 YES

@@k1llj0y15 that's exactly what i said, obviously i could have added non-binary people but i think you get the point, obviously.
“Your daughters 7 years old and wants a belly piercing” when I was 7 I picked out my own tattoo 10 years later I got it I’ve had it for 4 years and I’m still loving it, just because you want something when you’re younger doesn’t mean you’ll regret it in the future!
Exactly! By 10 I knew I wanted a tattoo, had an idea of what I wanted, and knew where I wanted it. At 19, a family friend (who was like a brother to me) designed and inked it. Nearly 5 years later and I still get giddy looking at it.
yes periodt
yeah uh, i think 7yo is still too young although i’m glad you ended up doing the tattoo! i’m glad kids aren’t allowed tattoos or else we would see a lot of those damn moustaches from 2012 😭
And if you really want something it doesn't hurt to wait.
When I was like 8 or 9 I told my grandmother I wanted a tattoo because my aunt had some and I thought it was so neat, she proceeded to give me a lecture on why “I don’t” want to get a tattoo referencing the pain, the regret, and you know the normal reasons people give against tattoos, last year I decided I still wanted a tattoo so I got one and I love it so much! I have always had body image issues and my tattoo and piercings make me feel so much better about my body and appearance, others can only see the piercings and the tattoo but only the person who has them knows the true meaning and how happy it makes them.
WHEN SHE GOT UP AND BOWED DOWN AT 11:44 I LOST IT LMAO
The mother's reaction was hilarious 😂
If you want some deeper cultural context for her saying she “has to rebel” being from a conservative state watch the movie SLC Punk. Salt Lake City in the 80s and 90s was a stifling place to live for those who didn’t fit into it and it was excruciating to live here. Alternative people faced real dangers like domestic violence and harassment for wearing what they liked. Furthermore Utah culture is not kind to those who are not or decide to leave the dominant religion of LDS, and it was even worse back then. Alternative culture was heavily stigmatized (like seriously we got the shit kicked out of us like real beatings, violence and hate crimes) until this past decade.
1. Almost everyone here seems very young, and they definitely don't know what it was like to be alternative in the 90s.
2. I LOVE SLC Punk. ❤
What's LDS

They own my heart. I hope they're doing well rn
Me: dresses like alice in wonderland and a Disney princess.
Also me: omg I love the goth and punk scene from the 90s.
I loved the alternative mom. I'm a mother of 2 myself, I'm old, overweighted, have dyed my hair every color in the rainbow and wear lolita. I'm also a professional and I don't care what people think. Every parent should support their kid's fashion choices, not bully them.
I’d just like to say, your kids must be lucky to have a mother like you from what you seem like!
@@escha6790 awwww thank you! You're so sweet
I love that the one mom is more concerned that her son is happy and a kind person and not worried about his mohawk. That is how parent!
Our youth is a time to find ourselves through expression. It could be a phase, or it could be their true face. Children are not dolls, they are people with their own likes and opinions.

My mom is one of the most supportive people i know. Not only is she perfectly fine with my hair colors, nose piercing, etc, she TOOK me to the piercers, and SHE was the one who died my hair half yellow/half pink 💖
Aww what a great mom! 💗💛
nice!!! my mum is on board with dying my hair, but needs to make sure i wont be allergic to it. as long as i dont dye my hair anything unnatural (its against the rules of the school i go to) until i go to collage, my parents dont care
I love your hair! it looks like ice cream😍
omg your hair looks so good!!
Your mom did a great job. It looks amazing.
I love how flustered she gets at 9:07 "I thought the collar was just for show.." Like thats adorable
I picked up on it as soon as she walked out 😅
Some guy accusing that accepting something “out of the norm” meant you’re making fun of the people who are the norm....why does that sound familiar-
What's that saying? It goes something like "Those who are privileged/entitled & think that they're superior, start to feel oppressed when they're faced with accepting equality".
I love the mom of the mohawk dude, she looks so soft and nice and like the stereotypical mom and is just like "yeah i love his mohawk. what about it"
She looks like the most precious thing
I really like how the girl in 7:30 has a tattoo that says ‘mom’ in a heart
I'm 23, have a full time job, neon pink hair, and dress alt and my family is exactly like these parents in this day and age. Yikes.
Hello, old person here. My cousin dressed alternatively back in the 90's (we are 11 years apart), and her mother pulled out her piercings in her sleep. This was the attitude at the time, goth/punk/grunge kids were layabouts who didn't have a future, but my cousin (the goth one) now works in insurance and supports herself fully, without a degree, she has a nice house, and a nice car. She is FINE. I dressed emo in the 00s, still a lot of the same attitude, blend in, behave etc. It is just the last 10 years or so that I've seen it become accepted that colored hair is mostly normal, so are face piercings and tattoos. Growing up I was told those people are "bad". It was dumb, i'm glad it's a thing of the past.
THIS.

It’s so sad that having good parents all has to do with luck. You are so lucky to have good parents :)
