Gendergoth & Gendergrunge flags

I made this gendergoth flag back in 2023. I really liked it, but I forgot to post it. I know other versions of gendergoth exist, but I wanted this to be a version of it for people whose gender is specifically tied to the goth culture and music genre, as opposed to other meanings where it’s described as feeling dark / spooky, or more general goth aesthetics. The flag is largely based off of popular covers of goth bands I like, as well as the different types of goth fashion that exist (romantic goths, classic goths, etc.)

After that point, I decided to make a gendergrunge flag too. Just like gendergoth, this version was made to be tied to the grunge culture and music genre, rather than being based on grunge aesthetics. The flag has a bit of a greenish tint to it, because faded out browns and greens were common in both album covers and in grunge fashion, as well as a lot of movies of the era that have a washed out blue / green tint.

Importantly, neither of these versions have any inherent aesthetics or anything like that as part of their definitions, because there’s a lot of looks to alt cultures. They are purely based on the culture / scene itself, and how that might look or feel for an individual can vary

I also think there could be a general term for genders based on music-based cultures, like emo, punk, and whatnot. Maybe musiture? Or something like that?
