calling people posers is so lame

funnymonkeydance 2/19/2022 09:09 pm 1556

i am literally so sick and tired of hearing people throw around the word poser and honestly whenever i hear someone use it, i try and steer clear of them. like whats the point in gatekeeping things that make someone happy?? (obviously unless someone is being hateful but yk thats a given)

like if someone only listens to a popular emo bands, they're still emo. it doesnt discredit them and it makes no sense how it could??

but idk maybe im misunderstanding something, pls tell me if i am

@xXJustJoking8P: yeah like someone isn't emo because they listen to Melanie Martinez but it's okay if they still like it!

@V4MP1RE_GUTZZ: I feel like the first part isn't technically bad until they start saying shit like "just bc I don't listen to the music doesn't mean I'm not punk" or start being blatantly racist I just get annoyed when ppl say no one who wears a bunny hat is alt, like some ppl make their own or who just like the way it looks yk?/gen/nm

yea I agree. A lot of terms are confusing tbh and it’s just good to let people be happy, and dress how they want. Gatekeeping stuff is kinda rude and it makes communities kinda fixed n boring.
