This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No press sources, just kids in that scene from back then. In a small cohort of goth kids in the region in the mid 90's, I knew several. They'd disappear down allegedly to NYC for that shit, I have no firsthand experience, I've always had a Bart Simpson belly and wasn't a mid-90's sexy twink so I was an observer from afar of the scene. It's also kind of unfair to describe it as "trafficking" to some extent, not to defend 40yo bankers banging 14yos, it was "cool" like... Have you ever read the OG Gossip Girl books the show was based on? I have not but it seems to be the manhattanite experience of that scene

That makes sense (I have not read those books) but yeah I could see that kinda thing going down… I appreciate the context

… So, Sexy Bart Simpson costume this year or what? 👻
