Is anyone else here genuinely sad over the fact that our culture is literally dying? Fags of our generation don't give a shit about their heritage and increasingly neglect the more traditional aspects of the lifestyle in favor of an inoffensive corporate image. Being gay is "normal" now and we're expected to conform to what the media tells us that entails.
I've been getting more and more into the leather scene these last couple of years and I'm yet to meet anyone else under thirty at any of our venues or events. Granted, my city isn't the best place to be for that kind of thing, but there seems to be a general trend away from the underground and toward the mainstream. We've lost a sense of who we are and where we've come from.

The daddies who keep places like the NYC Eagle open will be gone soon and who will take their place? Will anyone even shed a tear when a cultural/historical site like that is forced to close forever? We can joke about it now, but the new blood needed to sustain the old scene just isn't there.

If nobody is interested in it, makes sense it would die out. No need to force anyone
leather is too mainstream.
Rubber is hot and super kinky.
Maybe you can pull something like that swing revival, but for leather shit. You have to go out and make it happen, because that bit of your subculture isn't catching on on its own.
tfw ur a trans girl punk and have a collection of leather to make any daddy swoon

No, not at all
This shit was legit degenerate desu, it was just that when we were witch hunted throughout the goddamn land as degenerates regardless, the inmates ran the asylum. The biggest degenerates cared the most and arranged bathhouses and shit like that, but actually it's better for everyone that that "our culture" gets abandoned
It was just those guys' own fetishes and they were fucked up, besides we would never have been accepted into the mainstream unless we were prepared to go normie, that's practically a tautology
I think it's fine as long as being a huge slut isn't demonized
Also all the young gays getting into bear culture are huge on "pup play" these days

Leather went out of fashion with the 1980s, m8. You can basically only get away with it if you're a biker or a member of Judas Priest.
While I'd bend over for Rob Halford in an instant, you're probably nowhere near that level.
Also? Leather is fucking EXPENSIVE. Especially the good stuff.
And no, I'm not into the 'leather scene', I'm just a metalhead.
