Theater Kid

Due to most definitions being incoherent here I’ll make a general one for those who want a proper definition.
A theater kid generally is associated with anyone who does theater whether that be backstage or front.

These individuals are generally given a few stereotypes, most commonly of which being outcasts or misfits. Elaborating further theater kids often carry or claim to carry some disorder whether that’s diagnosed by themselves or doctors. Furthermore they are generally perceived as carrying hyperactivity from some aforementioned disorder, or being so much of an introvert that you wonder how they even got in the theater to begin with (though the former is often more likely)

Hamilton is generally loved by them, and politically they are often left wing though more aligned to liberal, or if lucky anarchist leftist thought. While they may counter and argue how radical they are, almost all would probably have a heart attack at any actual revolution due to their innate romanticism. This is because Theater kids are cosmopolitans at heart 90 percent of the time, with rural theater kids often having wet dreams of finally going to the cities away from their conservative parents.

All in all while this is a generalization it is to give a broad example of what theater kids generally fall under personality wise. It isn’t the best description, but it’s better than most I’ve seen here.

eco-theater

Something that is supposed to help the environment but actually is just to make consumers feel like they're doing SOMETHING and often causes more harm that help. Example - the plastic straw bans where straws make up 0.03% of ocean plastic pollution whereas commercial fishing nets make up 46% - but we ban straws which many disabled people need.
Straw bans are total eco-theater for ableist people.
