Once again, "nonbinary" is just the Current Year version of I'm Not Like Other Girls.
Bored nerdy straight women need to realize claiming to be nonbinary queer whatevers isn't going to make them interesting and just shows they still resent getting picked on by other girls in school.

It's funny to see so many solicits on her twitter for serious article content like this, and then she spins around and is so proud of an Animal Crossing publish that she makes a video about it:
LOL this person is quite a character. Look at her shirt, it's backwards from the mirror but reads: WHY BE RACIST, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC OR TRANSPHOBIC, WHEN YOU COULD JUST BE QUIET?Feature: 2020's Breakout Star? It Has To Be Animal Crossing's K.K. Slider
"There’s definitely a K.K. Slider song out there for everyone"
- by Abby Lee Hood Tue 9th Jun 2020
Forget the Billboard charts and the most popular celebrities on them – there’s a new breakout star in town, and most Nintendo fans have heard his music for weeks through remixes, social media videos and trendy TikToks (as well as in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, of course).
K.K. Slider is an acoustic-guitar-playing white dog most famous for his appearances in all the Animal Crossing titles to date. The NPC visits towns (and now islands) to give regular concerts, and in previous versions of the game was known by his alter-ego DJ KK. But K.K.’s music is no longer just for Animal Crossing players; since the release of New Horizons, his music has found new life and thousands of new fans, with artists and musicians posting viral videos and covers on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
YouTube has consistently been a popular platform for K.K. remixes, like the K.K. Bubblegum remix by Qumu shown below. K.K. Bubblegum has been one of the more popular songs across platforms, and Qumu, an anonymous internet musician, created their first K.K. remix after Patreon subscribers encouraged the choice in a poll. They later decided to do Bubblegum, too, which has turned into their most popular K.K. song.
Qumu said they owe a lot of their recent YouTube growth to New Horizons release, which boosted views on previous K.K. remixes released years ago.
"Just after the release of New Horizons, [previous Animal Crossing videos] were getting around 5 to 10 times the amount of plays per day," Qumu said in an interview with Nintendo Life. "Bubblegum K.K. has been my fastest-growing cover ever, even becoming my second-most popular track. I couldn’t have predicted or even hoped for anything like this."
To date, Qumu, with more than 144,000 YouTube subscribers, has created three K.K remixes and one other Animal Crossing remix video. The Bubblegum remix has been the most popular, clocking more than 1 million views, but the others are also a hit, with none under 100,000. A single YouTube search for "K.K. Bubblegum" returns thousands of videos – some of them covers, some of them gameplay – but the song is a real hit for many.
Qumu, who was inspired to become a musician after playing games like Guitar Hero back in 2009, said they didn’t expect Slider’s popularity to be so viral. The artist said the cute dog’s music is diverse and covers many genres, which could be a reason why so many people love it.
"I had no idea that K.K. Slider as a character, and as a music phenomenon would blow up to such a degree, so I’m absolutely surprised by just how popular he and his music became," Qumu said. "I think K.K Slider’s music has a broad appeal."
If K.K. Bubblegum is popular on YouTube, it’s nothing in comparison to the song’s prevalence on TikTok. Teens and adults alike love the track, posting videos of their villagers singing along, using it as background music for cosplays and even creating their own covers. Like the YouTube search, a TikTok search for the song brings up thousands of videos, most with thousands of views and comments.
Another artist who jumped on the K.K. trend on TikTok said they’re glad their video of a villager singing along to Bubblegum could distract and provide some smiles to people stuck inside during quarantine, calling it a "serotonin video." The clip is a hand-drawn animation of Lolly, a cat villager, sitting underneath a blooming cherry tree and has nearly 50,000 likes. It also features the English lyrics, which Bun, the artist, said are a compilation of several fan-made lyric covers.
Most K.K. songs are nearly uninterpretable, full of the typical Animal Crossing gibberish-language speak. This cover, however, includes the lyrics as translated by fans, and even if they aren’t perfect, they’re cute and uplifting. "When the bubblegum pops, I want you to smile. And remember every good time, when skies are grey," the lyrics read.
Bun has put nearly 300 hours into New Horizons and perhaps as many into previous Animal Crossing titles like Wild World, City Folk and New Leaf. They started an Instagram art account a few weeks after New Horizons released, but quickly archived original posts. After a short video of two villagers got attention on TikTok, Bun decided it was time to continue making new content.
“I realized how much I enjoyed sharing this kind of art, and so did anyone who came across those videos,” Bun said in an interview with Nintendo Life. “From that point on, I continued to draw and animate silly little videos just to bring people some happiness.”
Other artists on TikTok have taken K.K. trends and layered them with other ones, including a video in which artist Emma Elise Gamboa, a storyboard artist and illustrator, transformed a popular TikTok musician’s album cover into a K.K. Slider album cover.
In the video, Gamboa shows a time-lapse of redesigning Mxmtoom’s recent "Masquerade" album, exchanging the TikTok star with K.K., giving the dog character Mxmtoon’s crown, dress, and shy posture. Mxmtoon launched her musical career on TikTok, and the video, unsurprisingly, is set to her cover of K.K. Bubblegum. On TikTok, it’s common for multiple trends and memes to overlap this way, often feeling like deep cuts from internet culture that aren’t as funny or understood on other platforms.
Gamboa said she is usually "behind" on internet trends, but saw other artists creating K.K. Slider album cover remixes and had to join in. She said it was initially difficult to think of one she could do adequate justice, but finally settled on the "Masquerade" album and got to work. Gamboa also said this is among her most popular videos, and that using the K.K. trend brought a lot more attention to her work.
"I was really surprised by how popular my video and post had gotten. Most of my posts get at most 500 likes, which I am very grateful for, but this was something else," Gamboa said in an interview with Nintendo Life. "I kept checking my notifications every so often and the numbers kept rising. It really boosted my motivation at a time where I wasn't sure I was doing things right art-wise."
Gamboa said she’s been an artist as long as she can remember, and echoed Qumu’s thoughts about the diversity of K.K. Slider’s music. "I love that K.K. Slider’s music is not just one thing," Gamboa said. "Not many artists can say they can play it all. Also, since the game is kid-friendly, it's a good way for a younger audience to get introduced to different types of music."
Of course, the K.K. songs are really a product of the Animal Crossing development team, as he is, after all, only a video game dog. Still, people love the game’s soundtracks, and in a recent video, the team behind New Horizons’ main theme performed a socially distant, virtual concert.
K.K.’s music is bringing happiness and smiles to people all over the world through original tracks, remixes and covers. Qumu, Bun and Gamboa are only three of the thousands hopping on the trends. And whether they’re playing Bubblegum or another track, with a setlist that includes dance, reggae, salsa, pop, traditional Japanese festival songs and more, it’s no wonder so many people are boosting Slider’s pop star status.
"It’s truly heartwarming to hear how a piece of music might’ve affected someone’s life in a good way," Qumju said. "There’s definitely a K.K. Slider song out there for everyone."

She says she's not a girl right up there in the article. If you're non-conforming to gender roles and stereotypes, you wouldn't find it 'hard' to fit in. I knew a girl who was a political bagman and she certainly didn't fit any gender stereotypes. But she still considered herself female.
Gender is an academic term that doesn't cross into the real world. You cannot be 'agender'. It simply doesn't fucking exist. You can look male, female or androgynous. You can't look any other way because the human brain doesn't comprehend any other way. So you have male, female or 'I can't tell'.
The writer of this article is wearing make-up, wearing female clothes and basically proclaiming to everyone on the Earth "I am female" but then she says she has no gender. That makes absolutely no fucking sense. "I feel I have no gender, but I am going to conform to female gender ways of dress and looking." Then what the fuck are you talking about? Humans excel at pattern recognition. We're really, REALLY good at it. So when you present a female pattern and then go "I'M NOT A GiRL, I HAVE NO GENDER" most people are going to treat you like you're out of your fucking mind. This is because the pattern doesn't line up with what the fuck is coming out of your mouth. Being transsexual makes more fucking sense than this bullshit.
You've still only got 3 options (really 2 and a half): Female, Male and 'I don't know'. And 'I don't know' is a combination of male and female where you can't tell without ripping someone's pants off. So even that is a function of a binary. Don't give me this nonsense that there are more than 2 genders, because they're not. Every 'new' gender is going to be a combination of the two. There are female soldiers who are non-conforming to gender roles, break every stereotype and are still sexually straight. You're not going to tell me these women are a new 'gender', are you?
By the way, the guy who pioneered the study of gender got all of his research wrong, was a pedophile and preformed human experimentation that lead to the suicides of both participants involved (and this was in the 1960s and 1970s). So as far as I'm concerned, research into gender is built on a foundation of garbage and bullshit, backed up by nothing. So say whatever you want. You can look at gender and how society influences it, but there's no such thing as a third gender, independent of male and female. You can be non-conforming to gender roles, but every society and person on this fucking planet will put you into one of two groups. Even these so-called progressives.
Just like there are three preferences: Gay, straight and bisexual. Anyone who describes themselves as pansexual is basically just another word for 'whore'.

OK boomer — middle-aged adults are gaining millions of followers on TikTok, proving the app isn't just for Gen Z

The viral phrase "OK boomer," which has been widely used to suggest a generational divide and antagonism between Baby Boomers and Gen Z, was popularized on the app TikTok. That may lead some to believe that TikTok is the exclusive haven of angsty teens, but in actuality, it's not hard to find average middle-aged adults who have amassed millions of followers on the app.
- Tik Tok celebrity isn't only for Gen Z. Baby boomers, Gen Y, and other adult creators are making it big on the app.
- Adult celebrities on Tik Tok keep up with the latest dance trends, offer mental health advice, or create wacky videos that fit the app's sense of humor.
- Younger viewers say these older creators offer positive role models and are popular because they don't try too hard to fit in, or be something they're not.
Tim McNeely, 46, is a dentist with a knack for making patients comfortable. While he sometimes tells jokes or dances to calm clients down, he never expected to be famous for his moves.
McNeely has never taken a dance class or had formal training, but he's amassed 1.5 million followers on TikTok. He films videos with trending dance moves like "the whoa" and includes tricks with his hat or his backpack. With young people at least, he might be one of the most famous dancers in the country, although it didn't come naturally at first.
"I deleted [my first video] because kids were saying, 'old man lit AF,' 'what a queen,' 'we stan,' and many other sayings I didn't get," McNeely said in an interview with Insider. "I thought it was hate toward me. I found out with the roll of an eye, from my daughter, Madeline, that they were compliments."
Most media reports about "OK boomer" claim young people and adults are experiencing a divisive generational gap, but that isn't the whole truth. Young people are happy to welcome adults into their online spaces — as long as they know where they fit in.
Some, like Vermin Supreme, take a more avant-garde approach. Supreme, 58, falls squarely into the baby boomer category and has run for president using platforms like zombie preparedness and mandatory tooth-brushing. Supreme told Insider he felt the app was summoning him after he found out he'd gone viral on TikTok before even joining, so he capitalized on the moment and started an account which now has just under 100,000 followers.
One of Supreme's first videos asked viewers what they would name their pony, and how many legs it should have. Giving ponies away is one of Supreme's campaign platforms, and the videos were a hit. The first pony video has just under 500,000 views and 91,000 likes. Most of the comments are positive, like one commenter who wants to name their pony after Supreme because they admire him. Many more said they want to vote for Supreme in the upcoming election.
Supreme said Tik Tok has been the most positive platform he's used, while other corners of the internet have been less welcoming. His success on the app wasn't expected, but Supreme said his approach appeals to teens who don't conform or feel they fit in.
"A lot of kids are weird, or non-conformists, and I give them a beacon of hope," Supreme said. "They don't have to be boring adults."
Supreme's wacky videos meld well with millennial and Gen Z humor, which favors the absurd and has found a home on TikTok.
The McFarlands, a family from Louisville, KY with nearly 600,000 followers, have also harnessed the power of absurdity. Dad Dan, mom Kathy, and their two sons, Dylan and Colin, regularly take trends on the app and add their own twist, filming together in their family home.
A recent video features Dan McFarland asking his sons to watch him practice a "really big presentation," which turns out to be a collection of what might kindly be described as interpretive dance moves to Lady Gaga's "Applause," while flashing the kitchen lights. It's a great example of the family's sense of humor, and they get comments like "My favorite group on this app. Thank you so much for the great content!"
Dylan and Colin McFarland both say their success has changed their family's life. The two brothers monetized the account in various ways, set up their own LLC and are beginning TikTok consulting for local brands.
"The platform has showed us that it's possible. We're the ones informing people of what's happening," Colin McFarland told Insider. "It's given us a platform."
Each of the creators seem to understand that platform, and the opportunity it has given them. Supreme said his newfound fame on the app may help him clinch the Libertarian party's presidential nomination, and McNeely said he's also received brand deals from luxury retailers and found ways to increase his income.
Authenticity is key to gaining the trust of Gen Z
These creators' lives have been changed by the app, but it couldn't have happened without a younger audience. Somehow, the main demographic they draw is Gen Z. How did they escape the "OK boomer" label — often applied to younger generations like Gen Y as well — and become so successful?
McNeely said his appeal is being vulnerable in his videos while challenging himself, and he hears from kids his message is connecting.
Young viewers like Christopher Benz, 16, echo these sentiments. Benz told Insider that humor is everything, and the best adult Tik Tok'ers don't try too hard.
"They don't try to understand and overuse pop culture," Benz said. "They just go with the flow. People get a kick out of their wacky hi-jinks."
Kids are looking for positive role-models on TikTok
Benz said he appreciates seeing educators, members of the military and other adults post videos that entertain and teach, as well as connect an older generation. His favorites are Vermin Supreme and Granny Smith, and he sees them as positive online role models.
Elizabeth Kupferman, a women's counselor with more than 100,000 followers of her own, takes the idea of connection, role modeling and education on her Tik Tok account, "advancedbxthces," a step farther. She provides advice on mental health, self-care and healing, and her viewers love it.
Kupferman said she was astonished at her first 10,000 followers, but she isn't recognized when she goes out, unlike McNeely and the McFarlands. That doesn't mean her content doesn't connect — Kupferman said people reach out with questions all the time. Some say her content brightens their day or encourages them to start the journey of self-healing.
"That's a home run for me," Kupferman said in an interview with Insider. "I've gotten feedback that people have started therapy because of my TikToks."
Kupferman, 55, receives feedback from viewers that she's a boomer worth protecting. She's another example of an older creator who provides something kids want to watch and connect with, and like McNeely, The McFarlands and Vermin Supreme, it's not hard to imagine the importance of positive role models kids can look up to.
Adult creators are connecting on an emotional level with the teens of Tik Tok. Some dance, and some provide advice about mental health, but the relationship is mutually beneficial. Adults get to express themselves and open the door to new opportunities, and viewers find a little positivity while dealing with the stress of school, a constant news cycle and generally being an awkward teenager.
For at least a little while, adults aren't boomers at all. They're just people kids can look up to, in videos only fifteen seconds long.
