Some of you guys just are posers

No if's and buts or ands about it. I'm not saying this to any particular subculture group of people and especially not to people who are new to a subculture and making a genuine attempt to be apart of it, you guys rock and I hope u stik to it. 

I'm saying this to all y'all who claim to be this that and the third, whether it be punk, goth, emo, or scene, and are constantly not only switching aesthetics and subcultures every week based off of what's the newest trend on tiktok, but don't make an effort to understand that subcultures particular lifestyle or views or even listen to the music (if it's a music related subculture.) 

Don't even get me started on you guys buying your fashion off of Shein and temu. Don't make me laugh, you know damn well it's based off of literal slave labor and that those clothes aren't even made to last. How else do you think it's so cheap??????? 

"But- there are no stores near me that sell-" 

find an online store that isn't slave labor and is actually made by people who are apart of that subcultures? Go thrifting? 

"But the thrift stores near me don't-" 

No really? I had no clue that savers doesn't look like your depop cart.. Find stuff in thrifts and STYLE IT!!! DIY IT!! Make new clothes out of those clothes!!!

"But I don't know how-" 

That's what the plethora of tutorials on YouTube are for.
