Rant about alternative subculture.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people get pissy about the 6arely human, TX2, Kandi kid, Jake and Johnnie individuals. While some of this hatred and anger is absolutely justified some of it is fucking stupid. A lot of people who fall under the category of tik tok alt are fairly young and are often just experimenting with and/or getting into subculture. Many of them will most likely grow out of it within a couple months maybe even within a year or so but that doesn’t mean that people need to shit on them all the time. Some of these kids who are genuinely interested in subculture and want to learn more about it may just need someone to educate them on subculture rather than shame them for not understanding it or not being *insert subculture here* enough. I also believe that many (if not every) alternative person goes through a phase where they want to dress out and don’t know how to DIY yet so they buy whatever shit they can get their hands on that matches the look that they want. I think a lot of these people need  better and further education on subculture and need more people to teach them things like DIY, give them music recommendations, help them figure out how to get involved in their local scene, and just overall help them find their footing in the subculture rather than shame them for having as much knowledge as you do. While there are definitely posers (I am not denying that at all because I know it’s true and I’ve literally had people argue with me that alt subcultures aren’t based on music and politics) I feel like a lot of the hate towards the tik tok alt kids isn’t justified especially since many of them are young and many of them will likely grow out of it soon anyways.
