Gen Z Subcultures

60f8ac8b004c9.jpeg
 
Early Gen Z girls are in their physical prime right now, but most of them in the UK make themselves look like shit. The mainstream hot ones are all fake tan, slug eyebrows, and lip fillers. They dress slutty, but somehow not sexily. 'Blackfishing' is a dumb concept, but some of them are definitely trying to look like black women, for whatever insane reason.

The rest are a shapeless mess of oversized shirts and mom jeans, finished off with a pair of dirty white trainers. Ten years ago, even the fat girls with no body confidence were rocking cute skirts and black tights. Now everyone dresses like they're in the middle of painting the house.

The young lads exclusively wear black tracksuits and the above haircut, but at least most of them grow out of it in their early twenties. Maybe it's different in less retarded countries, I don't get to go to them any more.
 
It's somewhat of a morass, but one can definitely come up with certain archetypes. Here is my very autistic analysis (U.S. context and regarding men only):

Internet Politics (L <-> R)
DSA, Chapocel, breadtuber, cum town (Edginess and internet savviness varies, these guys don't like being called liberals)
Tumblr Diaspora/Twitter-leftist/Tiktokker (ethnonarcissism, pronouns, mental illness in bio, a.k.a. the leftists who seethe the most)
Redditor and other wholesome Chungus derivatives (this one largely speaks for itself)
lolbertarians (most varied category with the most common type being the model-plane-set autist who thinks that politics is purely pragmatic. All the other categories think these guys are annoying.)
"Classical Liberals" (kicked to the right by the continual leftward paradigm shift; like total ingrates, will punch right often)
Alt-light (Magapedes, civnats, etc. somewhat varied category but united by Der Boomer Trump)
Alt-right diaspora (trillions of meme labels, nothing to unite each other, many will become such contrarians that they go full circle and become faggots (e.g., Richard Spencer) or delve too far into theory and end up seeing the world through some incomprehensible gibberish. Beware all ye who enter here)

Socioeconomic Categories
Nerd (varied category)
Normal (as the generations go on these and the other categories are becoming increasingly less normal)
Jock (Usually played football/basketball/lacrosse in high school. If low IQ can end up as a wagie or in an otherwise sad predicament, if decent or good IQ will end up with a STEM or Business degree and a pretty good life therein)
Rural Guy (Salt of the earth, oftentimes a military family. Enjoys things like sports, cars, and hunting)
Wagie (Life sucks at the bottom of the totem pole. The most bitter ones are midwits who didn't apply themselves)
NEET (Sucking on the teet of the government or their boomer parents, premier shitposters)
Rentoid (He's paying another man's mortgage, like a cuck. He copes through his enjoyment of living in the big city alongside whimsical things that flyovers don't have like "bodegas" or through purchasing takeout and cheap Chinese toys)
Expat (Many men become one because of yellow fever. No matter what they'll always be an amerimutt)

Special Categories
/fit/ bloomer (This guy used to be somewhat of a nerd in high school/college but decided to get in shape because of an e-celeb/forum. He may or may not actually be in shape)
Coomer (Includes those who simp for normal women but also anime posters, furries, and even stranger fetishes. A true coomer RTs porn on the TL)
Incel/MGTOW (life to him is all about getting laid and boy he ain't getting any; He spends all of his time complaining about women)
Computer nerd ("It's actually GNU/Linux")
Gamer

There are some more categories but they're either too niche or too-universal


Just add a wigger modifier to all of my categories for late zoomers or alpha. Yes. even the NAZIs.
This is really accurate and well written but I learned in zoomer cyberbullying class that I have to call you a nigger and mock you for typing it all out. I am extremely emotionally conflicted.
 
Also the nigger "side hustle" culture some white zoomers adopted.
There is also the rich zoomer kid subculture consisting of eternal boredom and smugness combined with some sort of LA-style sociopathy.
So American Psycho, zoomer edition?
 
Replying to OP:
  • What is the metro clique? I've never heard that before
  • I thought preps were more of a Gen X thing

Black women are absolutely everywhere in advertising now, and young white girl celebrities are trying to appear black themselves. Here's Miranda Cosgrove in 2010:

and here she is in the new iCarly reboot:

it's like the goal of her makeup department is "how can we make her look as black as possible without making it seem like blackface"

Yes, they have many cliques and subcultures and they sometimes overlap. I'd make a Ven-Diagram but I haven't the effort for that.

I probably missed a few, but that's the basic idea.
Do nerds even exist as a subculture anymore? I'm late millenial and it seems that ever since Big Bang Theory and MCU 'nerd' is the new normal.
 
I look at Gen Z subcultures the same way I look at anime.

Millennials wish anime was real and look at it as escapism. Generation Z try too hard to make anime as real as possible and think that they are the same as the characters in it.

It’s sometimes a trip to me that we went from Dragon Ball Z to Demon Slayer in a span of 20+ years.

I'm confused, so you're saying you think Millennials have a level of personal distance from subcultures but gen Z try to make it their life? Because if it's what you mean I think I probably agree. Otherwise I don't know anything about any weeb shit.

Yeah, but even if they looked good gen Z women are kind of retarded. What are you going to do, date one of them? They're going to be sending you texts throughout the day asking you to please god help because they accidentally filled the lemonaid pitcher with window cleaning spray and now their tongue tastes like pennies and they can't stop burping bubbles, and by the way, how do you use a washing machine? I poured bleach in with the shirts and now they're covered in these weird spots, what should I do?

Gen Z is smart in the same way a computer is smart. It has processing power, but unless you explicitly tell it what to do and how it's just going to sit there. Despite being not that much younger, they know how to do absolutely nothing, it's really incredible.

I'm not sure if I have a slightly different memory regarding subcultures because of where I grew up (Australia) so I found we tended to be a bit more behind on things before the internet really took off.

Metro from what I recall was guys learning how to shower/take care of themselves, use products (hair gel, cologne) they dressed well, that is to say as well as anyone could dress in the 2000s, I would equate it to something like a boy band of those times fashion wise except a little faggier/colourful. They would hang out in clubs and were into hardstyle/techno with out going full eshays.

Circling back to what I opened with, I really remember prep being a popular thing when I was around 13-14, there were pages upon pages in the girly mags on how to dress and act prep like that girl in the OC, but the lag there could just be because the internet bubble hadn't completely popped yet.

Sort of. If you're into the MCU, Star Wars, or Beninfilms you're a cool nerd, if you read shitty old comics books from the 1940s-1970s which obviously is not a hobby of mine, you're going to get an internet swirly or a lecture on how evil and sexist/homophobic/racist/buzzword the old books were. Because I definitely look for guidance on how to act IRL when I read comic books about Jimmy Olsen turning green and disguising himself as a pretzel.

It's also become a thing to collect nerd culture stuff you aren't actually into. Some dude's mom (she's gen Y, her son is an early zoomer) know wanted to buy him a Star Trek shirt, and when I asked which generation the style was going to be in I was informed that they've never actually watched any of the Star Treks and just like to wear those sorts of things. And yes, they are fans of the Big Bang Theory.

I'm not some nerd purist, I haven't even finished all of the TOS or TOS movies, or have any interest in the other generations and all I know about the MCU is what I've found out from being dragged to movies. I;m not into the deep lore stuff like a true geek should be. But I'd expect you'd want to have a basic idea of what Star Trek is before you put on a redshirt just because it 'looks cool.'

If you somehow haven't guessed by that steaming heap of retardation, I do get called Sheldon on occasion. All I know is he's an annoying OCD stick-in the mud who speaks vulcan and never gets laid or something, which is a sign I probably need to improve myself.

See, I miss the old days where they'd call you a nerd/fag and tell you the stuff you like was nerdy/faggy. This new woke bullying is cringe as fuck.

Also you should probably at least watch Deep Space 9.

Catching up on some things that have been posted, this is basically what I was getting at when I think about Gen Z, the girls in particular.

They've all seemed to morph into this "ethnically ambiguous" blob with two sides where they either all want to go for that exotic are they black? arab? spanish? Kardaishian kinda look even though in reality they are just a regular old Stacey or there is the fake asian egirls.

All this woke shit giving them brain damage and you can only be cool if you are a minority? IDFK.

I'd rather be call a nerdfag than Sheldon. And that gorilla and I are going to be very happy together.

And yea, I've heard good things about Deep Space 9 but never got around to checking it out since I didn't grow up watching it. I'll try and see if it's on any of the streaming platforms or if I can get it cheap online.
