I was looking around at the blogs and this entry from the Spookylinks site caught my eye (I hope they don’t mind I grabbed it, some people are so touchy these days). It got me thinking about the mainstreamification of some of the tropes of Alt. Tattoos have become synonymous with AltPorn, since they are the most immediately identifiable attribute on a nude performer, to a general audience eye anyway. It’s gotten to be a lot like porn from the 70’s where every blonde was “Swedish.” On the one hand great ink can be a beautiful and intriguing thing, But I’ve also heard perfectly amazing looking goth girls say they don’t think any of our A-List sites would accept them because they don’t have enough (or any) tattoos, even though a lot of the sites have no ink requirements. A few do, but certainly not all of them.
My fear is that if all of Alt gets boiled down to ‘has tattoos’ we will lose sight of the real foundation of the genre. It’s supposed to be about being independent (for reals) and taking an artistic creative approach to subculture (or counterculture if you ask BlueBlood) and not limiting yourself to becoming a mockery of what you had set out to create. This is something all culturally based art struggles with, but for the sake of not filibustering, lots of people are covered in ink these days, but not all of them embody what Alt set out to be about. That said, there are some really hot college girls and maybe the pioneers of AltPorn have all made it more likely that we will see the kinds of guys and girls we really like performing on an even wider range of sites.
The pictures of this wild drunken scene are hilarious and hot! You can see a sample gallery of funny sexy drunk pictures. This is a funny drunk video from the same night of a drunk tattooed college guy having sex with a giggling drunk tattooed college chick with pierced eyebrow. You can see all the video and all the pics at the College Fuckfest site.
I always laugh when I see those “college coed” sites because I actually am a college student and I’m sure most of the people on that site aren’t. Porn has never been “real” and it never will be. I do enjoy alt-porn because there is more creativity and freedom, but some of the alt sites out there are no different than any other porn site except they throw in the word “goth”. Awhile ago I was told I wasn’t alternative enough (despite all my tattoos) to be on a certain site because my hair was blond and I didn’t cover my face in black make-up. They told me if I changed those two things I could be on the site, but I really didn’t feel like being on an “alt” site knowing most of the girls are just playing dress-up.
