Some of the most annoying little shits on the internet. Typically claims to be punk or goth or metal or any other subculture that was really big like 40 years ago. They discover 1 song from Dead Kennedys, the Cure, Mayhem, or any other edgy band from the 70s-90s and try to act like their music taste is superior to that of their peers. Snobby and pompous as fuck and usually won’t shut the fuck up about how
emo trap/dark trap artists like Lil Peep, $uicideboy$, and
Ghostemane aren’t “real punk” or “real metal” or “
real goth” even though nobody around them actually thinks that or says that. They mock dead artists’ deaths just simply because they don’t like them and then suddenly act like they give a shit about humanitarianism when someone makes fun of Joey Jordison or
Rozz Williams. Overall, they’re quite hypocritical and annoying as shit! If they catch you posting a story of you listening to one
Ecco2k track while wearing black clothes, they will try to send you playlists of bands that you probably already know and like such as the Cure, Orchid, Slipknot, etc. but they still think you’re intellectually inferior to them for liking rap music (which may or may not be
racially charged…). If you think you might be a Gen Z “Real Alt” Kid, don’t worry. It’s perfectly okay to like punk rock, metal, goth, emo, etc. It’s just bullshit to put genres and subcultures into a static box and not let artists evolve their sound or fans their fashion style without throwing a pussy fit.
Drainer kid: “I love
bladee he’s such a good artist!”
Gen Z “real” alt kid: “
BLADEE IS NOT REAL EMO!!!1!1! REAL EMO CONSISTS OF THE 1980—“
Drainer kid: “Oh my God nobody fucking gives a shit go outside.”
Emo kid: “Yeah tf??? You literally think you’re better than us cos u like the same music as my mom and dad and uncle and you dress like a character from The Breakfast Club. Don’t be a dick, bro.”
Drainer kid: “You’re kinda cool! Wanna go listen to the new Underoath album?”
Emo kid: “Hell yea man!”
Gen Z “real” alt kid: *unintelligible screaming noises upon hearing an underoath fan call himself emo*
