for the beginner alt kids

just remember, especially if you're just getting into it, you don't have to listen to only one genre. one can enjoy multiple genres at the same time and that doesn't make you any less alternative or part of the community. you're not a poser for liking demi lovato AND nirvana at the same time, you're not a poser for liking music in general. that goes for extreme genre fans too, you can enjoy mcr as much as you enjoy carnifex. you're not a poser for enjoying music that is considered "other" to any subsection of the alternative community. you don't have to only use one label. you can be grunge and punk if you want to. you can be scene and emo and a metalhead and so much more. or you don't have to use any label at all if you want to. this goes for fashion too; you're not a poser if you don't "dress" alternative or if you dress for the "wrong genre." for example, i consider myself more of a metalhead, but my style is skinny jeans, kandi, really baggy band shirts, black nail polish, converse, layered hair that falls into my face and only just reaches my shoulders. we stand for diversity but that's hard to say when the community refuses to tolerate people who like anything other than metal, grunge, scene, or emo. we are a counterculture of respect and diversity; gatekeeping is poser behavior. its okay to enjoy many things at the same time, and its okay to not "look" alternative. keep doing what you're doing. i love you

Insta Reel: starts as a tiktok of Goth guy giving the camera thumbs up, as an audio and text says "lets be financially responsible!" Then the goth guy does a wicked grin and scary piano plays with the text "SHEIN having 60% off sale on ten things in your cart" appearing. Then video is no longer a tiktok, loud electronic music plays and meme visual of a guy cheering over a football game appears, with the text "The cia after watering down every aspect of the alternative community (they used to be radicals against capitalist sociatal values and now all of their goats and either weirdos, sell outs or both)"
