Individuals commonly derived from
British millennial lad culture who profusely strive to be considered ‘alternative
indie’ without being stylistically artistic and diverse. These ‘
edgy’
people are obsessed with the 90s, yet ironically were born from 1998 onwards.
They predominantly listen to 90s alternative and garage music, eg. The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Oasis, The Streets. They also actively listen to acid house and are interested in the 90s drug culture. They often express that they don’t like modern alternative and ‘old music is better’. They most prevalently dress like Liam Gallagher and one would often catch them wearing band tops from gigs they’ve attended.
Mostly male, but a few who come from the female equivalent of lad culture (wears heavy makeup, went to Malaga on holiday with their
friends).
90s wankers have a bland, hedonistic perspective of life, and consider it ‘cool’ to be emotionally
depressed or unfulfilled.
Their favourite city is Manchester- the source of most ‘
good’ alternative music and culture.
Recent artists they appreciate: Declan Mckenna, The Magic Gang,
Black Honey, Sundara
Karma. They tend to dislike hazy, atmospheric pop music as it’s too positive and calm; ‘sad music is the best music.’
They tend to get irrationally offended if you remotely disagree with their music taste as they’re ignorant and don’t understand the subjective nature of music.
