I’ve noticed that in a lot of alt communities, especially punk and goth, people get overly sensitive whenever someone critiques or dislikes alternative hairstyles. For example, if someone comments on a post that they don’t like a hairstyle then majority of the responses jump on the “people when alt people have alt hairstyles: 😡😡” bandwagon. In my opinion, the Chelsea cut and reverse Mohawk are genuinely atrocious but thinking that doesn’t make me any less alt and doesn’t mean that other alt people can’t have it. It’s just weird seeing so many communities whose distinct characteristic is going against norms, push a norm of not being able to have an opinion. Additionally, these are the same people to call people posers for not liking them and honestly, I think the real posers are people who try to control others’ opinions.
