I don't like horror. That's it. I can do the occasional ghost/haunting flick, but slashers are an absolute no go. There's nothing wrong with that, either. Even if I enjoy darker aesthetics and music, I do not have to also enjoy horror movies by default.
I cannot be the only one who goes through this, although it must be a very extreme minority. Every person I've met who loves alt fashion/music also loves horror films... And they all interrogate me when I decline a horror movie night. "I just don't like them" never seems to excuse it. So then I have to trauma dump on them and expose my deepest, most violent traumas on people. Many of whom I just met. All because people can't seem to fathom someone who dresses and behaves the way I do disliking a movie genre so much that they hound me for an answer.
My childhood was violent and scary. I don't want to watch something that makes my brain feel like it did when I was in an abusive situation. I don't get "good adrenaline rushes," I get only bad ones. Horror films are not enjoyable for me. Period.
I didn't think I'd still be explaining this stuff to irl people at my big age, but here I am.

people really love getting into other ppl's business huh - like, not everyone can like every genre, and not liking or enjoying a genre shouldn't be seen as ~weird~ or whatever? it is what it is lmao, good on you for standing your ground and not letting ppl bully you into watching horror movies with them - you don't owe them anything, be it your time OR an explanation
