Biggest Alternative Hot Take?

xXJustJoking8P 4/4/2022 08:14 pm 10170

I'm about to piss myself off with this but lolz- x_x BEFORE I GO TO BED >:3 What's your biggest alternative hot take? O.o Mine is that is bugs me when people are like "We have to bring the 2000s back! Rawring 20s!" yet at the same time go "Normalize not vibing to the social construct of fetishizing systematic toxic stimulationing gaslighting so you can retrieve non-problematic mental vibes" like if your going to parade "Living in the 2000s" around then drop that 2022 talk. And if you aren't... Still drop it, it's stupid and you just sound like your trying too hard to sound smart, lol
I'll take my unfriendings now- X'DD

@dollymolly: I agree! Harajuku is a huge culture imo with all the keis bein lil subcultures! Didn't know that was a hot take, Harajuku is literally a street that's filled with cosplayers, seems like a culture to me :3

lolita, fairy kei, decora kei, and all harajuku fashion like that is alternative, and honestly the "kei" fashions (idk much about it so if they have a specific name then sorry T-T) all count as alternative subcultures

@Jase_Burton: It makes me sad when I see people who want to dress alternative but say "I'm too fat to do it" : ( As a fat person, I don't agree with the people promoting weight gain cause that's just unhealthy but I also don't agree with the people shaming fat people as if you can just wave a magic wand and become skinny

@catpawzz: I half agree and half disagree? In a nutshell, ya, I agree scene/emo kids could be douches back then- I saw some normal people say why they didn't like scene kids and I went in thinking "They're just gonna shit on the style, whatever uwu" but there were stories of shoplifting, bullying, and just being a huge nuisance in public and I was like "Oh- ._.". I think it stemmed from that edgy need to be a "cool bad boy" which just translated into "Become a criminal"- Not to mention I heard a lot of scene/emo kids back then were the type to talk crap but never live up to it which is just annoying, lol- What I heavily

disagree with though is the scene/emo community nowadays being not toxic/better, at least on TikTok. They're just Twitter obsessed jerks in black clothing, no difference between them and a "normie" imo (See my hot take). But then again, I think everyone is toxic nowadays, lol

I feel like if you were to get a nice mix of 2022 ideals and 2000s ideals then we'd have a perfect rawring 20s on our hands. I know a friend on Spacehey who's managed to do that and he's the only emo kid I've met that wasn't trying too hard to be an edgy "I'm so cool cause I sh" criminal but also wasn't a condescending Twitter user that, whenever someone honestly didn't get their opinion, they'd retaliate with "Are you white"

@Alexander_The_3th: Ya, that's always confused me- It's supposed to be about making your own clothes yet I always see people like "PUNK HAUL <33" and like "No fetishizing poverty!" but like the point is that it represents poverty @_@

@Alexander_The_3th: At a certain point it gets annoying to see big corps adapting (aka, sometimes blatantly stealing designs) these styles to feed everyone their 50 dollar mass produced, sweat shop shirt. I am by no means sticking this on the consumer, just the weird ass dystopia we live in. The fact that you can trace almost anything back to one company is scary shit.

punk is not abour buying "punk things" and clothes. it's the opposite. A subculture formed in poverty has been taken over by the wealthy cosplaying as middle/lower class people.

Not rlly a hot take I guess but…

I feel like people being like “I wish I was a scene kid/emo in the 2000’s” or just talking abt how they love that whole movement don’t know how it actually was. Like sure it was cool because the 2000’s was when all that emo music was coming out and hot topic had better clothing or whatever but the scene/emo community was very different. Like they would romanticize (TW) seIf h@rm and depression and also there were barely any poc and plus size people in the community. Also the community was just straight up toxic to the few poc and plus size people in the community. I know this because I've seen videos of the original scene/emo kids talking about there experience with the community in the 2000’s and it just seems like the new emo community is a lot better and less toxic. Sorry I kinda overused the word community lolz XP (BTW this doesn’t apply to the people that like the old music and stuff. That’s fine. I’m just talking abt people that just think the community cool or something)

Anyways if I’m wrong abt anything pls lmk /gen
