Videogames, no they're not a waste of time they're a huge cultural entity with a grand future.

Being gay (despite how many times my dad said it was just a phase)

Hating the rich. Hated them when I was young; hate them even more as a boomer puke.

Being a gamer 🎮

Listening to Rock Music 🎸

Complaining about my parents' bad habits 🍷🍺

pr0n.

Emo/pop punk. Idgaf the music is banging. Went to the MCR reunion tour and had the time of my mid 30s life.

That I had to do everything for myself, all the time, in every way.

I'm indigenous Canadian and my parents basically grew up on their own in the wilderness. They basically just let is do anything and everything for ourselves on our own all the time.

I worked all the time as a kid ... at first because I had to but eventually because I wanted to because my parents were like that. I followed by example.

I remember at one point as a teen taking part in project after project trying to get people to help, to take part, to share or to even just join me and make the work easier. It was always a pain to get help.

I remember arriving at a breaking point and I just started ignoring people and did enormous projects on my own. Often people would just see me struggle and help but more often than not they wouldn't.

I've worked on my own ever since in building and construction .... I got it to the point where I could literally build my own house from the ground up.

I'm nearly 50 but I'll never stop buying band t-shirts. It's my absolute favourite thing.

Horny.

Hating kids. Never liked them when I was their age (it was mutual) and still don't like them. It took ages to find a partner that feels the same. She kinda likes them, for a short time, but doesn't want to have them, so that's close enough.

Also, not caring about clothes. Yeah, you need to wear something, way to cold not to, but what... don't care to much. Jump in store, get jeans (current favorite is a local farmers store brand, cheapest), next store, shirt and sweater, done. Record shopping time for a set that fitted was 15 min for 3 stores and 2 complete sets. Waste of money to have more then 1 set to wear, 1 in the laundry and one drying. (And 1 spare for emergencies, like missing your mouth with coffee when not awake yet)

I thought this said phrase at first and was so confused.

Being goth tho 🖤

Wearing gender non conforming clothes (turns out I'm non binary, so I doubled down), not wanting to be around ex family (also doubled down), not wanting kids (cats don't count right? ❤️), being a nerd.

Never wanting to be in pictures or being outside/active for long periods of time. I will eternally look like a goblin and I don't have the social battery to deal with long excursions of "doing stuff". It tops out at maybe 2-4 hours depending and after that my brain basically turns to goo.

Oh and also: wearing all black. It just makes dressing myself not a hassle.

Hating people.

Believing that modern life is some kind of scam. Being very angry at 'society' (uhm I know, I'm part of it, so there) for not seeing how wrong everything is.

Wanting to be alone.

Piercings and tattoos. Gaming. Not wanting kids.

I don't look very alternative so all these things surprise people if it comes up in casual conversation.

Alternative. Music, politics, food cars. Mainstream never came back.

Being depressed about the nature of life.

I cannot exist without something/someone else dying and I've always hated that.

I was told that after I got out of school I'd understand why it was necessary. I uh, still completely hate American schools and how they're structured and have no clue why they work the way they do.

Pushing 50 and still pushing on a skateboard

Video games

Not wanting children

Bare bones utilitarian furniture

Athiest

I still listen to angry music, envy the occasional gutter punk I see, and think if I somehow got my hands on the globally nuclear arsenal that I would gladly give the world a much needed reboot.

Pissing people off by having fun doing something the way I want to.

Wanderlust and not wanting to get married and have kids. People said I’d change my tune when my friends started settling down and having kids but they did and I became even more certain. I don’t dislike the kids at all but some of us are just born to be the rowdy uncles.

As for Wanderlust, I have it worse than ever. I just slowly lose my mind until I travel and refill my sanity jar. (I might have actually lost it during the pandemic. When I got the 2nd dose of the vaccine, it was like a brain fog suddenly cleared because I could leave the U.S. again.)

Metal and anarchism

Computer nerd.

Gaming, listening to emo music, thinking engineering is cool as shit, willing to do a boring job to make more money than I can in engineering (project management)

Driving like a hoon. You'd swear I was a teenager behind the wheel.

I still have the loud-piped hot hatch and subwoofers at 39.
