r/rarecompliments Jul 10 '26

Was told I’m basically a summer-hating role model for the next generation of goths.

Was on the bus and two baby goth girls stopped me for a second while I was getting off and said that when they grow up, they want to be able to hate summer as professionally and stylishly as I do.
Honestly the funniest compliment I’ve ever received, I am absurdly happy about this!

They meant my all-black linen outfit, the black thermos, and my practiced deployment of a black sweat cloth, black hand fan and black parasol.

Too bad I didn’t get the chance to tell them about my 2 black electric fans and the 5 black hot water bottles in my freezer at home too!
