This Is Kinda An Unpopular Opinion But I Don’t Like How HEAVILY People Associate Scene And Emo Culture

This is kinda an unpopular opinion but I don’t like how HEAVILY people associate scene and emo culture are with the early 2000s.

If someone dresses in trad goth people don’t usually tell them “it’s not the 80s” or for punk/grunge “it’s not the 90s”.

Alternative fashion and music just do not work that way. Alt Subcultures don’t just “go out of style” the way mainstream fads do.

Because it’s not just a style. It’s a whole ass culture we’re talking about. Art, music, literature, fashion, movies, sense of humor, hobbies, etc all go into subcults & People who already don’t follow the crowd aren’t going to care what the latest 2023 trends are, if that wasn’t obvious already.

Seriously what alternative person is gonna be like “wait, my style isn’t what everyone is doing this year? Dang well let me find out what everyone IS doing this year so I too can hop on the bandwagon!”
