I remember back in like 2008-2010 in alt spaces on the internet (esp MySpace) I used to see a lot of images/posts about not putting labels on yourself, and at the time I don't think I really got it and thought it was just some "I'm not like the other girls" bullshit, but 15 years later the culture is incessant narcissistic obsession with putting as many labels on yourself as possible at the expense of having any personality whatsoever so honestly maybe we need to retvrn to the wisdom of the ancients (MySpace scene girls)

there has been some interest among the youths in aestheticizing this era of (internet) culture who don't understand that the point is not to be scene or emo or goth or whatever. the point is to 🐝 urself :)

@nyx I guess I only missed that bit of MySpace due to language barrier, that said I can still quite feel it.
Internet from ~2006 (20 years ago, whatever) was sure something else.

@nyx Kind of feel like facebook and idpol is where it really turned.

Also reminds me that in the few months I used Facebook, the avatar I put was the MSN placeholder logo, pretty sure I just didn't want to put my face as usual but I find the choice quite funny.

@Erato_Heti it's really bad and the island is sorta like an all-women pagan cult. instead of being about the indigenous druidic religions of the British Isles it's about how women are evil witches

@nyx Like I think if I had to put it for a modern equivalent, it would be like using some image from Skype but as avatar in Discord or MS Teams.

@nyx overwhelmingly the thing i find really alienating between me and the little alphas (my fellow zoomers too but less so? they are more passive than active about it) is how concerned they are with the surfaces of things but not actually living any of it. there isn't really a alphzoom subculture with its own uniquely recognizable appearance that i can think of, other than the hauntings of the the things they wear the aesthetics of. explicitly, too, with the amount of random shit they stick -core on the end of and taxonomize into wikis and playlist themes

@nyx there's like, the web 2.0 revivalists that you can usually correctly assume are under18, remixing animanga motifs that if they were a little more honest about i think they'd be malding about pedophilia or some other puriteen thing; the breakcore webcore kids whose scene is 10 hours of fast music to cure your ADHD!! playlists but also would probably mald about pedophilia if they weren't just skimming the dredges of whats already been done. idk
