Honestly alternative people historically have been kind of mean, especially in the late 2000's. However, because alternative people are a minority and a subculture and punk, goth, and most/some emo subcultures require leaning left politically, and with recent world events, a lot of their worldviews tend towards being antisocial towards or rallying against the mainstream. This can explain why they act this way, but that should really only be applied to people who want your subculture or minority you are a part of to be destroyed, not because people aren't a part of the same tribe.
The issue with this though is that subcultures, especially with people who are young, you get a god complex that you're better than normal people for being different. You get a group of people like you, and a lot of people want to uphold a social ladder or hierarchy. Hence the gatekeepers and other people being mean to each other, or hating people who are "normal".
yeah I've noticed its only younger alt people doing this and not like ogs or people who were there during the peak of the fashion. I'm glad its coming back, Im not part of an alt subculture myself, I usually do my makeup inspired from those subcultures , but my clothing style is really just dressing in all black, but I think people need to understand the fashion is so expensive nowadays and all most people have is the music or the books or learning about the politics.
