Gen Z Subcultures

My apologies man I am a noob at the farms. You mean like how I'm making separate posts for each person I am replying to?

I'm surprised nobody mentioned E-girls and E-Boys since this is considered Gen Z's "subculture". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-girls_and_e-boys

Has everybody noticed that zoomers have an unnatural obsessions for the 80s to the 00s? As a zoomer who was in 1997, I do get nostalgic for the 2000s but only because of covid and watching shit I grew up get destroyed by SJWs. But zoomers take it much more further than millennials. For example, zoomers are trying to revive shit from the past such as Emos, Scenes, Mall-Goths, and Pop-punk. Hell, they are even trying to bring back Myspace under the name of a new website called Friendproject and Spacehey which is funny because zoomers weren't old enough to use Myspace and it was mostly millennials who used it. I don't think Gen Z has an identify of it's own so they take shit from the past because most of them grew in up the social media and smartphone era and those two could be a contributing factor of why subcultures are dead as a whole.

I personally don't include eboys/egirls because they are blatantly ripping off emo and scene and it's not so much as culture/social circle as it is a fashion statement.

If that makes sense at all, hopefully it does. Feel free to disagree, but they don't seem as a unified group as emo and scene kids were.

Oh no dude, I actually agree with you. I remember seeing a little bit of scene kids when I was middle school around 2012ish and one scene girl in high school. But here's the thing though, at least the Emos and Scenes weren't afraid to dress up like that in public despite the negative stigma against them. Eboys/Egirls, on the other hand, feel like a larp for attention on social media like tiktok. Because I never seen one out in public at all.

Modern e-boys think they’re the second coming of Sid Vicious.

Modern e-girls think they’re the second coming of Billie Eilish.

Only thing they compare on is that the fashion sense is just not working:



And keep in mind, I can only speak for the American ones, since I haven’t delved too much into the Russian/Japanese-Chinese-Korean/anywhere in Europe ones.

I think GenZ just copies many millenial subcultures but you can say they put more emphasis in pronouns or lack of them and performative gay shit. The whole nonbinary thing feels like it took off with them too even if older generations use it.

Next thing you know we got kids turning on their parents like its 1984: It was suppose to be a warning not a trend for social points.

I hate to be "that" person but I don't really see how one could confuse an E-Boy/E-Girl as an "emo". I'm a millennial and I remember when Emo reviival (since Emo is actually older than the 2000s) was very popular when I was in 8th to 10th grade, then 2007 came around and Scene was starting to become a thing. But anyway, the "emos" of the 2000s in my eyes dressed somewhat like skater kids only with skinny jeans and that side-swept bangs hair. These "e-boys" look alternative but they don't really look Emo to me, they just look wannabe K-pop guys but 2Edgy4U lol.

>Modern E-Boys think they are Sid Vicious

Do they even know who Sid Vicious is? Let alone do they actually listen to the music his band made?

Their only subculture is kids with birdnest hair saying "fr fr ngl" and being insufferable assholes

On the internet there is no time, there's just content available at the click of a button, it's release date is about as relevant as its title. All information melds together.

When you're forming your personality the internet is less an information superhighway than it is an information supermarket.

>hmm sonic looks cool and fun and goes fast i want that
>michael jackson helped make the music? what's a michael jackson, hmm i guess i'll try some of that
>ohh i'm liking some of this 70s pop stuff, what other stuff was going on at that time
>hmm there's all this bob dylan stuff and punk, maybe i can mix them together that'll be interesting
this is basically how my generation gets their personalities

Do they even know who Sid Vicious is? Let alone do they actually listen to the music his band made?

The Sex Pistols are highkey extremely overrated, they had a couple decent songs but that's it

Learn to use the quote function lad. You will get shit on for double posting elsewhere.

It's pretty funny that you say this while topposting like this is a mailing list

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"

Nah she's just Italian

Maybe in punk spaces but popular or not, I'm still curious if these kids actually listen to the Sex Pistols and if they do, more than just "Anarchy in the U.K" Because every self-proclaimed Gen Z "punk" I've noticed either don't even listen to Punk music and mostly listen to Rap and/or Hip Hop music like most of their peers or they listen to 2000s pop punk like MCR, Paramore, and Fall Out Boy, not bands like The Addicts, Bad Brains, or The Slits lol.

I'm a zoomer, I had a friend my age who liked The Addicts and Black Flag, I was a big fan of The Avengers, Isocracy, Operation Ivy and Agent Orange. Nobody really calls themselves 'punk' though, sometimes you get people who half-jokingly say they're emo but that's it really.

That's a fair point. I think the whole "Punk" thing when it comes to your generation are those tik-tok addicts who pepper in that stuff on their "aesthetic" outfit posts (and you can tell they don't actually have interest in the music even if they play some well-known punk song).
I definitely see the "emo" thing though.

They discovered that declaring yourself a genderspecial is a lot easier than cultivating a personality.

Zoomers only look at Sid Vicious because of his "aesthetic" and never for his music if you haven't noticed. That's what I noticed about these zoomer "goths" They like to dress the part but know jack shit about the music.

Zoomers truly have an identity crisis.

The zoomers who listen to 2000s pop punk like to play it safe, not saying those pop punk bands were bad because I enjoy them by myself but it's the easy out.

That's a fair point. I think the whole "Punk" thing when it comes to your generation are those tik-tok addicts who pepper in that stuff on their "aesthetic" outfit posts (and you can tell they don't actually have interest in the music even if they play some well-known punk song).

Funny you mention that because you would think they would dress out in public with those "punk outfits" but it's mostly a larp for views on social media sadly. Though, I've seen those e-girls types but it's extremely rare though.

Ah okay. Yeah I had a feeling that was more or less how these young'ins are viewing such subculture figures. And yeah I noticed that with zoomer "goths" as well. I noticed how most don't have interest in the music and the few who do, only go for like 2 or 3 goth songs and call it a day. That or they think any 80s synth music is goth music when it isn't. It's funny how they whine about gatekeeping and elitism when most of the time it's not that and it's just them getting butthurt that they're being called out for their shallowness and being seen as the posers they are, like in the actual sense of the word.

Right. I grew up with 2000s pop punk as well and I enjoyed them as well but I remember back in those days, fans of actual punk music despised pop punk and I didn't understand why but I get it now lol.

Funny you mention that because you would think they would dress out in public with those "punk outfits" but it's mostly a larp for views on social media sadly. Though, I've seen those e-girls types but it's extremely rare though.

Not even surprised. It did seem like these people did not wear these outfits out and only for their "aesthetics" videos
