We all know that nerds, downyfags and furfags collectively provide a military surplus of cows, but what are some of the other subcultures which have their share of cows? The Goths, Punks, Psychobillies, Metalheads, Skinheads and everyone else in-between and on the periphery.

Does a certain subculture attract more cows than others? Share any and all anecdotes you may have. It doesn't necessarily have to be about someone you met online (although if you did, please share). Just tell us about their quirks, tics and triggers.

Metalheads are all over the child abuser, and their 'tism could vary greatly depending on the subgenre they're into. Regardless, most come from any one of these three stereotypes: nerds, stoners and white trash. The nerds were perhaps most passionate about the music, particularly with their meticulous knowledge of any song's given compositional grammar. They could readily dissect a song, talk about how cool it is because it's written in an odd time signature, et cetera. They were also incredibly easy to trigger if you were less than passionate about their favorite band. The stoners and white trash were just there to blow out their eardrums and stew in their burnt out, drunken haze, although the former were at least able to carry on a conversation about their favorite bands.

Punks are cunts. SJW-tier politics combined with grossly inflated egos and a completely misplaced sense of elitism. They had no problem with authoritarianism so long as they were the authority. As such, they're incredibly easy to trigger. Skinheads were pretty cool, though.

The term "Goth" is kind of a catchall for anyone dark, edgy and into a subculture, so it's kind of meaningless as a descriptor (unless we're describing fans of early 80s post-Punk like The Cure, Sisters of Mercy or Siouxsie), but to keep things short, I've never met a bonafide Goth in real life. The few I did online seemed pretty well-adjusted and had absolutely nothing else to report about.

The closest person to a Goth lolcow is Emilie Autumn, some violinist who dated Billy Corgan. She killed her career with her attention-whoring and self-made drama (I don't know if anyone still follows her antics). Most of her music sucks.

Despite their wallflower bullshit, Goths are usually pretty chill unless they throw themselves in with Atheism and Wicca. Atheist-Goths can be pretentious cunts while the Wicca-Goths are usually crazy (just saying from experiences).

Gaming subcultures have produced a few cows depending on the type of gaming you're looking at. The fighting game community produced a few like DSP and Lowtiergod.

It depends on the punk they follow. I find your average Bad Religion type band to have a following that isn't particularly elitist or politically unrashionable. Some of the others are just hipsters with mildly left leanings, and I simply find them annoying. Then you have your hard core punk fans. These guys tend to be stuck in the past, right down to the fashion and their views are simply anti authoritarian. It's not traditional leftism, it's anarchism. Then you have your hippy punks, and your Nazi punks. Both are hilarious and julayable if you have the patience to hold a conversation with one for more than 5 minutes. It's like watching an in person cringe video with the volume turned up to 11. Some of my references here go back more than 10 years though. Maybe the punks have evolved into social justice warriors since then.

Now people who are really into "new country" music, those people are hilarious. Get a couple drinks into them and they will tell you all about how the "niggers" are ruining America and marvel at how brilliant the Jews are when it comes to business. The latter is usually because I'm Jewish and this makes them uncomfortable, I think - Either that or I've really missed something. Also lots of talk about how the Muslims are taking over. Surprisingly little about Mexicans, but I've never outright asked them about anything or to clarify their views. I try to be polite in public and the second they drop the n-bomb I try to steer the topic as far away from race as possible. Personally I'm just an outlaw country fan, but you roll the dice when you go out for live music these days.

I knew a few goths when I was younger. Kind of people that smoked clove cigarettes.

The thing about goths is it normally is a culture that focuses on nihilism to a large extent, so self mockery is kinda routine which maybe leads to fewer ego problems.

Some of them sure have. Tumblr loooves the aesthetic of a punk girl since it visually identifies them as a "unique" person.

Although I was under the impression that Riot Grills had existed for longer.

Crust Punk is practically Social Justice: the Genre.

Riot girls weren't punk. We are talking Jack off Jill and such. Post punk with metal influences… It's awful. But genres mix so now that's probably a thing.

I dumped a girl over Manson and Jack off Jill. I can't imagine that ear bleeds gotten more pleasant in the past decade or so. Is this going to be a cringe thread now?

Social justice hipsters. I'm all for equality, but not at the price of liberty. So point taken.

I lived in a punk house before and it is absolutely true about almost all crust punks being trust fund kiddies or heroin addicts/drunks who USED to be trust fund kiddies, but their parents finally said no and cut them off.

I used to be big into my cities' punk rock movement but I became very turned off after a few years. Complete elitism, drama, gossip. I pretty much stopped associating with them when every show I went to in the year of 2012 was ripe with drama. There used to be a faggot named Bob Osborne or something who made a 'hate crew' that was pretty much a crew of white knights that kicked other punks out of the scene/venues if they got caught cheating on their girlfriends/doing heroin. God I hate that faggot so much and he never even did anything to me but he did affect a lot of my friends who dare have the audacity to slip up.

I still have a few 'alternative' friends these days, but whenever I see metalheads/punks/goths with perma sneers on their faces I stay the fuck away.


5beee5 No.191301

Also, most male goths are closeted gay men. Which really sucks because goth music is great but I never tried to be super goth just because of that stereotype being inevitably true.

Like, all my male goth friends in high school are now flaming faggots.

Let's face it.. Abu Ghraib and the Iraq War were national embarrassments and reflections on the Bush administration.

The other song is sanctimonious and annoying, though.

Sounds like you just don't like those sub-cultures and want to express your distaste for them, not seeing any julay to be honest. You not liking a sub-culture or finding it cringy isn't in itself enough to call them a lolcow.

I hate hipsters and "scene" kids, but even if they tend to be arrogant, self-important rich kids and incredibly stupid, they're still rich, socially acceptable, have frequent sex, and so on.

All the sub-cultures you named have a very low frequency of cows, and tend to mostly consist of productive members of society. I see stereotypes, but nothing concrete.

The only music related sub-culture that strikes me as having an unusual amount of lolcows in it is juggalos, and that feels like such low-hanging fruit it's almost not even worth mocking them.

To be honest I'm convinced there isn't a community that doesn't have that as a bedrock. In my experience, no matter what kind of group it is (tumblr fandoms, music fandoms, even work environments with lax standards), this tends to be the pattern I've noticed.

The less people there are, the more cohesive the group tends to be.

The more people there are, the less cohesive it is, but the drama is widely dispersed (for example, the metal community is so huge on some autist can stir up a whole shitstorm and half the community might never hear of it because there's so many of them)

Then you hit that magic number, the sweet spot somewhere in the middle where there's enough people stir up drama and it's big enough to go absolutely nuclear.

I know the graph is shitty but you get the point.

You mean they're supported by their rich parents, supported by sycophants and are frequently in relationships with women who cuck them.

I'll elaborate more. Remember that little dindu who was featured as an NBA lolcow? Eric something? I can understand how ludicrous it is when he says that Kyrie Irving is better than Stephen Curry. It's like saying Chris-chan can beat up John Cena. For most people, though(and the thread indicated as such), most reactions were "what?" more than why this kid is a dumbass. That's why Tumblr and GG-related threads dominate because that's what most people here can understand.

Eric Brown, Jr.? If I knew dick about sports, I probably would consider him a cow, but because I don't, he slips through the cracks.

Likewise, sportsfans don't know dick about subcultures, so they'd react to their shenanigans much like Tyler the Creator would to the concept of cyberbullying.
