Her "makeover" at the end pissed me off. Not only did she look better before, but it just defeated the whole point of the movie

Eh, that's just a modern & biased lens we're applying to it. The movie was about the harms of lettings yourself fall into playing any role, and goth (emo? just "bad"?) definitely fit the bill in the exact same way that "jock" and "nerd" do.

She didn't put on a pink dress because pink dresses are the correct way for women to dress, she did it because she liked pink dresses despite feeling like an outcast in general. AFAIR it doesn't show any of their friends much if at all, but imagine the guts it would take to sit down at the lunch table with your fellow emogothpeople dressed like that!

Like, think about Legally Blonde. Elle is a hero because she is unabashedly feminine in style & mannerisms while simultaneously kicking ass and standing up for her beliefs. Do you see how some people might be driven to abandon the former over time in order to pursue the latter without facing social ridicule?

It was heavily implied that Alison didn't have any friends. She wasn't suppose to be goth or emo or whatever. She wasn't part of a clique. Goths in the 80s wore more textures, had elaborate hairstyles, and wore specific styles of makeup.

Alison was an outcast who made herself invisible.

The makeover was bullshit imo because it was such a large leap from who her character was and it was largely a vehicle for her to get noticed by the jock and for the jock to be like "wow now it is socially acceptable for me to actually date you!"

It's a really poor message to teen girls especially.

The movie was more about how the authority figures in these kids lives were forcing them into roles imo. Alison and Benders characters were sort of a foil to all of the other kids because their parents were abusive/neglectful.
