Was that in st kilda? I’ve never felt more out of place looking queer as fuck and never more proud to be queer as fuck walking down ackland street with all the bogans. Cars were good though but yuck, felt like I was going to catch something, I’m definitely crowd phobic now.
Wow I must be really out of touch! When I lived in St Kilda in the mid-late 80s to mid-late 90s St Kilda was full of artists, queers, queens, all kinds of “alternative” types of people. It was starting to get gentrified when I moved out of there after a relationship breakup. Haven’t really been back.
Today’s event was aimed at dads, families and car lovers hence the bogans. That may be a sign of the times though, there are few indie places that’s for sure. I’d say it got expensive and the inner north took over a lot. I mean I’m older, still alternative and obviously queer I would think, but I enjoy this side of town. I don’t need to see lots of similar looking people, I’ve always been a black sheep among black sheep and cynical about scenes I think. I’m pretty sure plenty of people my age have stuck around who are what you describe, but it’s mostly people in puffer jackets walking their dogs lol. Which I’m fine with. It’s still inner city melbourne.
