What's worse, having your scene get infiltrated by theater kids, or blue check engagement baiters who say 'big heckin wholesome chungi'?
This isn’t even a new phenomenon.
Normies who don’t understand the culture at all have been saying since at least the 90s “DAE PUNKS AND METALHEADS ARE BIG HECKIN WHOLESOME CHUNGI?”
No, subcultures are full of creepy, maladjusted, anti-social assholes. They’re filled with violence and drug abuse and the much touted “loyalty” is entirely fabricated out of thin air. The hardcore scene, at least, is a gossip mill that would rival a middle school cheerleading squad.
Theater kids who colonized subcultures around COVID have no idea, because they show up at festivals and barricade shows, get their passport punched and head off to the next Epic Reddit Gold Adulting Event.
