Funny thing, I’m an older guy too, and a while back in the grocery store I saw some kid (late teens, maybe early 20s) wearing all black and a Depeche Mode t-shirt from the early days. I was gonna give them a thumbs up or something but then I realized they’d be like: omg I was wearing this shirt and this creepy old Latino guy was checking me out, I’m never gonna listen to this music again! So I just went on shopping.
(yeah I know DM isn’t really goth but you get the idea…)

The best thing we can do for the kids is not let on that we think they’re cool. When the parents think you’re cool is when you’re no longer cool.
Unless you can do something like roll up your sleeve and flash them a RATM tattoo or something.
