If you want a home that says ’emo’s not just a phase, it’s a lifestyle,’ then boy do we have the place for you. On sale for a guide price of £195,000, this West Lothian semi-detached property comprises three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a good-sized kitchen and living space, and a large garden with shed and garage storage space.
But its decor is something of an acquired taste, following a theme described by one Redditor as ‘disco goth’. Alongside an all-black exterior, the inside of the home features metallic purple and black paint throughout, alongside high-shine black ceiling and wall panels and an especially impactful black glitter kitchen.
This bold look has prompted visceral reactions online, with the listing posted numerous times on the r/SpottedOnRightmove subreddit. ‘This might actually be the worst thing I’ve ever seen,’ commented Memes_Haram. ‘Genuinely looks like if the Addams Family’s house was remade on the Sims by a goth teenager taking inspo from emo Tumblr pages.’.
Another user, swapacoinforafish, wrote ‘I would feel so claustrophobic living here,’ and El_Rompido called it a ‘nightmare’. ‘You can’t deny they weren’t 100% committed to the vision,’ added CorduroyMcTweed ‘It’s just that the vision was “someone assassinated Tim Burton with a glitter bomb”.’.
