I had bad social anxiety, so I wasn't part of any subculture. I was the school loner.

If I hadn't had social anxiety, I probably would have been part of the jocks. I was always decent at sports and loved playing/watching them.

I was there with the hip hop kids, but I was not a wigger given I am latin. Basically we walked around battle rapping and talking about rap and playing basketball.

I have never gotten to be a part of any kind of culture. never really had any friends, which is kind of a prerequisite.
I was always very careful to dress as plainly as possible, and it worked. Nobody ever noticed me, and they still don't.
I've always wanted to be a part of some sort of culture but I don't believe in anything and I don't really have any friends.

i stopped going to school at some point.

i never wanted to be a part of anything because everyone was full of shit and hypocritical and shallow and manipulative and boring. i was never good enough or passionate enough about any particular thing, either.

i'm now an extremely mediocre human being despite being smarter/kinder/more genuine than almost everyone i've ever known. i wasted any gift i might have had because i didn't feel like changing to fit in. i hate the way the world works.

It's a fashion thing more than anything else. Club scene mixed with soft punk mostly. I dont think there was much of a point, but maybe that was the point. It was about hedonism, and being over the top. I did it for a year or so, but found it too much fucking trouble to manage.

I was 11, mind you, they were about 20 to 30. Next few years were a blur of gang shit, boxing career and drug abuse. Never had so much fun in my life famalam I miss these fucks. The leader moved away though, and now I'm a friendless robot going for his thirties, and he's a big ass dealer in berlin.

Hung with the disaffected stoner delinquent kids. Half listened to generic normie music and the other half were punks, metalheads, and dad rockers.

Would have rolled with goths if they had an actual group, only briefly met a single qt goth in middle school and to this day regret not talking with her more. My style was band shirts and black jeans, occasionally with a dash of grunge look because of ratty flannel and hoodies.

I Spent a lot of time after school with my friends on the computer playing games on steam like css

I dressed like a hipster and listened to metal

scene kids were just the next mutation of early 2000s emo & mallgoth who themselves were a mutation of late 90s numetal.

Personally I was part of the punk/metal scene in the late 90s/early 2000s. I also dabbed in the mallgoth & emo and pop-punk scene because it got me laid. I also got laid with a scene girl but then I stopped giving a shit about subcultures.


2bh I never really fit in most of them because it was almost always a popularity and fashion contest. I used to see guys & girls who were into LARP and anime and was like "haha......l-look at those nerds having fun....", I only got into that a few years ago now, I regret not doing it earlier.

Miscellaneous nerd, hung out with a couple friends at our table, a lot of them were band kids but I myself was not, and we hung out with each other more than they hung out with band kids.

Band kids at our school knew so many card games, it was bananas.

Towards the end of high school, one friend split away to play lacrosse, became psuedo-jock, though still nice. One friend got a girlfriend and always hung out with her, one left to hang out with other friends, one got super busy with classes (IB program), a few more that would sometimes come by stopped, etc. so by mid senior year I would sit at that table by myself at lunch half the time if IB friend has a meeting. I took to going to the library and reading.

Also by mid/late high school I started smoking weed so I made friends with some stoner people. I was in advanced classes so I became sorta friends with a lot of my classmates there but we didn't hang out at lunch.

I never hung out with friends after school. I would socialize during school then be home by myself all day after. Only exception was smoking with some of the stoner dudes sometimes.

Metalhead/Stoner/Edgy kid

Band tees,ultra baggy cargo shorts,long ass hair.Smoked weed after school with some stoner dudes and would talk about either bands i listen to or weed.Wore celtic pendants when somebody asked why i was wearing them i said it was to honour my ancestors and make their legacy live on.I usually would rant about how we needed to purge browns and blacks,how we needed another crusade etc.Was a douchebag but had friends and girl attention.Actually was normie-ish back then.
>>
I refused to go to high school. I would ditch, go late, get suspended, not do any work, disobey teachers, etc. After 2 or 3 months I began shitting myself, I did this for 2 days in a row before I finally got my mom to withdraw me from school and "homeschool" me, which meant, leave me alone all day watching anime, playing video games and jerking off. Currently 23, still doing the same, life is good.

i was the worst person in high school.I was the epitome of "that kid"
>Scene kid,
>constantly said edgy shit
>always asked where the party was
>tried to fit in with everyone all of the time
>cut my arm for attention
>wasn't my last resort
>constantly seeked validation
>whole school resented me
>all the girls rejected me
now im 23 and live independently while reinventing myself to be a better person. I only talk to my high school friends because i don't know where to make new ones.

Most people grew out of it, like with most subcultures, and most of the younger millenial kids weren't really into it and instead preferred like Skrillex. The 90s/early 2000s were the peak of ALL subcultures, you had new ones popping up and older ones like 77 punk and thrash metal making a comeback as well.

It hasn't died either, it's just underground again
