@xXJustJoking8P: B)

@Nameless: Personally, I don't think it could work as a subculture cause :V 1. The styles too loose, I searched up "e kid" and I got WAY too many different styles to the point where even though I've had a good grasp on what e kids normally wear it made me very confused .-., 2. The entire subcultures based on being on the internet (Why it's called "e" kids) which I get that scene is somewhat the same with MySpace being a big part of it's history but I think the fact that it's based on kids on the internet is kind of confusing cause most kids on the internet don't dress like e kids- 3. There's not a clear definition of what it is. An e girl used to be a female popular on the internet but now it's a dress style? I'm confuzzled-, and finally, 4. A BIG part of subcultures is music and the only music associated with e kids is Billie Eilish but that's just as an insult- Other than that I haven't seen any music being claimed by them and only them .-. Pls correct me if I'm wrong though!

I agree with subcultures starting from poser roots (Scene was the same and I'm a scene kid!) but I just don't think e kids have made the cut yet personally .-.

@ferristhegreat: yeah i get my monster tabs from the school recycling and my normal tabs from my arizonas and my friend's drinks

not really a hot take but- if you are a capitalist apologist, you're a "poser" you cant be pro-capitalism or okay with it to really be alt, the origins of alt are inherently anticonsumerism

and alt is political(politics is what made basically everything about alt(alt being a genre started by politics) and the few that aren't are just called aesthetics)

you can dress alt, you can talk alt, you can call yourself alt but you just arnt
