“ICE Tracking” Website Likely Honey Pot, Spreads Misinformation

Yes, Goth is Political

If you’re online or out amongst the young people these days, you’ve seen a goth kid. Maybe they’re casual, just adhering to an all-black color palette. Maybe they go big, the teased-up bat’s nest of hair, stark-white face paint, thick dark eyeliner and contouring creating a high-contrast, high-impact look.
