Well it's true to me.
While I'm not the one who started these dark academia threads here, but I'm the one who made this edgy graphic and keep the meme going for some time. One day I just saw some harmless tumblr pictures here and I thought I could change the vector, turn it into something that looks pleasing to everyone, something that projects a certain mood, and something provocative enough to leave people in doubts about my let's say worldview, I mean a drop of mysticism, some obscure symbols, all that stuff. As a result DA is hated by snobs who say I have no right to dress "academic" (because I'm not working on campus I guess), hated by paranoid lefties who see Hitler everywhere, hated by kids in hoodies and t-shirts because tailoring makes them insecure about themselves, hated by the rest of the board because they think I'm a Harry Potter cosplayer who came from tumblr to convert them. You see it's provoking just like Doug's totenkompf.

I still consider myself as a part of the goth-industrial scene, I have lots of goth friends and I attend neofolk/post-punk/ebm/etc shows, but I feel really out of place marching in milsurp through the city streets and I feel plebeian just wearing the band t-shirts. So I've settled with this style some time ago, I've found comfort in it. It is really the urban neofolk for me.
