January is for Mall Goth Madness

Get ready to embrace your sad, weird girl feelings because this week, we’re diving headfirst into the dark and moody rabbit hole of mall goth culture. From MySpace pages to the dimly lit corners of Hot Topic, we’re reminiscing about the music, fashion, and mall-hopping rituals that defined the scene…and our own teenage years. We’re dusting off the cobwebs in Ashley’s old gothy closet to relive her most iconic outfits, cringing over Kaycee’s sixth-grade fashion missteps, and revisiting our mallrat days (with a bit of sadness for the malls that just aren’t the same anymore). Plus, we tackle the all-important question: What is the spooky girl origin story? Also in this episode: Nostalgic New Year’s Resolutions, including reading more books by and about women, especially the maligned ones in media. And a fresh chance to drag our least favorite Degrassi character because, well, some traditions never die. Grab this month’s signature drink, slap on some black eyeliner, and join us for a trip down memory lane that proves we’re still a little (lot) goth and emo at heart.
