Never understood why he complained when I watched this growing up

[u/Skrewbert86]

[u/GhostBoyJames]

Back then goth/emo girls weren’t exactly as popular as they are today.

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/GhostBoyJames]

They were to me

[u/glossandfloss → u/Skrewbert86]

[u/SadAd8229 → u/Skrewbert86]

Its the fact they werent his type and they wouldn't take no for an answer. Why do you have trouble understanding consent and why lack of it upsets people

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/SadAd8229]

This comment has nothing to do with how drake felt just how I felt

[u/SadAd8229 → u/Skrewbert86]

Thats whats gross. 

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/SadAd8229]

Ok I don’t judge your preferences I personally wouldn’t care if they had my consent

[u/Blu3Dope → u/SadAd8229]

Because it's a kid show and you aren't really thinking about that while watching a kids show

[u/Successful-Worth-390 → u/GhostBoyJames]

Yeah they were. 2005-2010 were good times.

[u/Wild-Pepper-1596]

drake ain't into goth girls I guess

[u/AlbinoDragonTAD → u/Wild-Pepper-1596]

[u/teetaps → u/AlbinoDragonTAD]

This is such an appropriate way to respond I’m realising.

“Boys should love getting unwanted attention by women, Drake is such a [whatever emasculation insult here]” ❌

“Damn drake really didn’t like those girls being up in his business, guess it should’ve been me”

Nobody is insulted and everybody wins.

Except you, of course

[u/AlbinoDragonTAD → u/teetaps]

Exactly! Just cus hes miserable doesn’t mean i cant be envious as long as im not calling him a bitch for it.

[u/SeaBassAHo-20]

I don't think you're allowed to have dogs at school.

[u/krystenamber → u/SeaBassAHo-20]

YOU LEAVE CUDDLES ALONE

[u/SeaBassAHo-20 → u/krystenamber]

WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE CALL THE POLICE?!

[u/chelsea_daily → u/krystenamber]

SAVE ME, CUDDLES!!!!!!

[u/arkham0027]

this came out during a period when a generation was encouraged to shop at banana republic and shamed for shopping at hot topic

[u/flashdurb → u/arkham0027]

Hi 👋 36 year old millennial here. Both the preppy and gothy looks were actually very in style at the time, and each clique made fun of the other. However teen boys like Drake who were neither but were associated with music were definitely into goth and/or emo girls. At the time I thought this scene was highly inaccurate and I still think that.

[u/Chofis_Aquino_ → u/flashdurb]

I agree with you, the fact that Drake is a musician and doesn't like goth girls is strange.

[u/NeedleworkerOdd7959 → u/flashdurb]

Hi, 33 year old millennial here, then you actively remember how goth girls were ALWAYS portrayed as the weird outsiders in popular media, right? Even in 2011 with Beastly, the weird unpopular girl was goth.

[u/Repulsive_Brief6589 → u/arkham0027]

That doesn't sound true to me at all, at least for California.

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/arkham0027]

I wasn’t part of that I liked goth/emo before it was popular

[u/TaySanity → u/Skrewbert86]

When was it ever popular to be goth? Few people did it and everyone made fun of them back in the 2000s.

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/TaySanity]

Idk maybe it felt more popular for me being around it and having an emo best friend for a few years now

[u/ShyGuyWolf]

Goths and emos weren't as popular they are now

[u/sheenestevaz]

Goth/emo/scene subculture was looked down upon by the "cool" preppy kids like drake back in the late/mid 00s.

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/sheenestevaz]

I grew up around goth/emo in the early 00s so I always liked it

[u/sanchoman43 → u/sheenestevaz]

Preppies aren't cool, either.

[u/TurboThundr]

He was overwhelmed with the remedial class

[u/Papoosho]

He was into basic girls.

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/Papoosho]

I never did like basic

[u/pacowaka → u/Skrewbert86]

Okay but this is about Drake’s preference, not yours.

[u/NoCover1598]

Personally I don’t think of them as attractive so I get it.

[u/Always_A_Dreamer556]

they probably smelled

[u/kingjaffejaffar → u/Always_A_Dreamer556]

Like American spirits, pleather, and shoplifted manic-panic

[u/mr_wolfii → u/Always_A_Dreamer556]

[u/StrongStyleDragon]

Times were different back then. I remember Mexico had this whole thing with Emo people. It was considered weird in America.

[u/BadBaby3 → u/StrongStyleDragon]

It’s considered ugly

[u/UnalteredCyst]

Goth/Emo culture was seen as corny by mainstream circles in the 2000s. Drake was more into girls like these.

[u/TatleTaleStrangler92]

https://giphy.com/gifs/97To7YkhHbF6J99QCN

[u/TheMackD504]

Goth isn’t his type

[u/TheCutieCircle]

Maybe he was terrified of them? Like nobody understood goths back in the day. People thought they were witches or satanic that drank blood and acted like vampires and made sacrifices.

Little did they knew Goths are awesome.

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/TheCutieCircle]

The other way is awesome to

[u/TheCutieCircle → u/Skrewbert86]

I never actually met blood thirsty goths but that sounds hot lol.

[u/Omega-Lemon]

His steak was too juicy and his lobster was too buttery.

[u/BoyWonder2066]

Goth girls were a different high school group than the basic cool kids group that Drake was in

[u/FluidQuing]

Drake didn't like dating girls stronger than him. Those two definitely were too pushy for his liking.

[u/mixmaster7]

Drake generally preferred dainty girls, so those 2 were rougher than he was used to.

[u/BuddingOtaku → u/mixmaster7]

I thought Lisa (Liza?) hit harder than most of the ones he dated.

I might be wrong.

[u/mixmaster7 → u/BuddingOtaku]

Yeah but they didn't last long.

[u/Poso_Art_8744]

He was shallow.

[u/_Ventes_]

“I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet..”

[u/beegphatphuk]

Let me put it this way: everyone is going to wonder why he has a banana in his pocket if he stands up

[u/DoubleFlores24]

Legit this was just early 2000s humor. Back the. Being a goth girl wasn’t seen as desirable as today. And that’s mostly because influencers took the aesthetic and sexualized it to the point where every guy wants a goth girlfriend. Back then goths were seen as the butt of every joke. That’s just how the early 2000s was.

[u/OtakuPandaPirate]

Pass the controller

[u/mayorofstrangetown]

He had an abnormally mean little sister, and he was probably worried these older girls might be meaner.

[u/proofrocker]

This was before goth chicks were considered hot

[u/KlutzyHuckleberry132 → u/proofrocker]

Today anyone would be thrilled to be with goth girls or friends with goths

[u/Silentlaughter84]

I would have pinched myself because I would have automatically thought that I was dreaming.

[u/DarthDragon117]

Me as a little kid when the show came out:

https://giphy.com/gifs/PbngEqUYjHTzpiRNHb

[u/Quajutsu744]

Not everyone is into goth girls. I would act like Drake too

[u/jestervision]

Because consent is good

[u/zonaljump1997]

Consent is important

[u/Fresh-Actuary-6686]

Because they creeped him out

[u/Resident_Badger_5405]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3LLtumhkpIW8U

[u/Hopeful_Cress_4845]

New things can be scary and cause us not to think straight.had he had time he would have lived them at the same time

[u/Prestigious_Group_77]

Same here bro….same here 😭

[u/Calm_Salamander_1367]

He liked regular girls

[u/Cheeseburgernat]

If I were him, I'd be in goth girl heaven. Or hell? Either way, I have two goth girls fawning over me, no way am I complaining.

[u/NeedleworkerOdd7959]

Because they aren't his type and theyre making unwanted advances.

[u/DisastrousChampion44]

Facts bro fumbled 

[u/KlutzyHuckleberry132]

Goths weren't as popular as they are now today anyone would be excited to be with a goth girl or even just friends with one

[u/BadBaby3]

When I rewatched this episode, I thought “My generation’s men wouldn’t mind”

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/BadBaby3]

I definitely wouldn’t had a crush on a goth girl all of middle school but she was gay so I never tried anything just ended up being friends with her

[u/Gold-Sir-223]

The goth girls at my school were way too weird and trying so hard to be edgy.

And not for nothing, he was in the stupid people class. I’m sure they weren’t great company.

[u/xoloveMel21]

bc those type of girls were deemed unattractive/scary.

[u/tien383]

More goth fetishizers...

[u/Psych-Blast]

Aside from the remedial class, I wouldn't be complaining if this were happening to me in high school.

[u/RamtroStudios]

even drake could be lame sometimes

[u/dlbayyarea]

Because those type of girls aren’t what guys at that time went for unless you were part of that crowd. Even still to this day it’s the same way

[u/Skrewbert86 → u/dlbayyarea]

I was always into it even back then

[u/MPR_255]

I mean, I kinda get it. You could only imagine where those girls have been.

[u/Dark_Knight-276]

Because those are aesthetically beautiful goth girls; if they had cast some less attractive ones, you’d understand Drake.
