i dont know if its just me and my algorithm but everytime i see an alternative person on my feed theyre either hating on basic people or shitting on other people in their community for not being up to their standard. now i know there was always negative people in the community, obviously - im not completely stupid, but it just seems far more widespread now. its honestly just so disheartening to see seemingly tight-knit communities drifting because people feel the need to share every thought that so much as briefly passes their mind, and i mean every single thought. now so much as having an outfit one person doesnt like is enough to get you shat on by everyone who comes across the post. and its only made worse by the fact that a lot of people seem to need their opinions fed to them by someone else whos vaguely like them. and something i find so ironic is that 1 trend(?) that was like 'why be basic when you can be [insert every currently trendy vaguely alternative style]' because you just know that the people making them are just so cookie cutter. i dont know what suddenly changed in the air but why is 'self expression' a trend now?? and i put that in quotes cause people seem to take self expression as being alternative, youre not allowed to be basic because youre obviously just forcing yourself to fit in.
why does so much of the alterative commuinity seem so negative now??

It is really sad that people judge others all the damn time like if it's not hurting anyone, leave them be???
Idk if I've said this before, but my friend is onto alt fashion, eyes her hair, etc, and if she dressed even remotely alt on wear your own clothes days, she gets looked at funny laughed at, sometimes called names/gets (more) stuff thrown at her??? And then one of the chavs or 'popular' girls wears a leather jacket and nobody bats a bloody eye???? Ughhhhh-
I honestly think people should just start expressing themselves or without worrying about about labels, cause yeah, labels are nice, but I found that, for me, once i stopped worrying about labels or styles, i could just... Be myself??? Idk I'm just so much happier now and it's probably not just that but I feel that I can be myself, and if that means being energetic and bouncy and borderline childish, so be it??? I want to be filled with that whimsy and joy that you just don't see anymore, I want to dress like a rainbow vomited over me, like I stepped out of a kids cartoon, but sometimes I also want to look like I stepped out of a time capsule from the Victorian era, or dress like a vampire??? And I do, because that's what makes me happy. If someone else doesn't like it, then they can look the other way.
It's their problem, not mine.
