oldschool lolitas have way more passion than others from my experiences, they give a shit where the fashion came from and what it stood for, instead of wanting to look like a princess or doll. The pretention of being a lady and behaving differently is gone, OTT is out of the equation, it isn't a costume, they're just clothes.

It's sort of the new punk, since punk died quietly. The clothes are almost all a decade old and passed down from when lolita was still in its purest form and most experimental awkward stage.

If I have to confess anything it's that I hate how few lolitas actually care about fashion or quality of their clothing. They're just putting on costumes to blend in with their tribe and associate with other lovelies instead of developing any individuality or expression. People base their dream dresses on sets and coords they've seen done already instead of picking things based on their own tastes and making it their own. The community seem to have very little income as a whole so you think they would be outraged by how low quality the dresses they buy have become, but I don't think they have any knowledge of what nice materials are or how a quality dress is made.. besides maybe how it looks, and if it has cats on it. It reminds me almost of how people buy cotton t-shirts with Supreme on them, the way people eat up scratchy lace and chiffon dresses with stuffed animals printed on.
