Reality Star

No talents or qualifications are required to become a reality star. To become one only requires a stroke of luck much like that of buying a winning lottery ticket.

Get the Reality Star mug.

real

Often used by someone to describe themselves as "genuine" or "authentic". It is perhaps the most overused and generic word in current use, rendering it almost meaningless. Browse any personals advertisements and every other person who lacks a sufficiently descriptive vocabulary will describe themselves as "real".

I am for real.

Kmart realism

A minimalist style of writing often used in short fiction. It usually features depressed middle class working people in bleak settings. The term "Kmart realism" was originally meant to be insulting. Authors include Tao Lin, Chris Killen, Joy Williams, Ann Beattie, Frederick Barthelme, and (to a lesser extent) Sam Pink.

"Sometimes when dolphins went to playgrounds alone they did the monkeybars and went to the swings and on the swings thought, "I hate this stupid world."

They thought, "I hate it."

They cried a little with the wind against their face.

They felt so bad that they went away.

And found Elijah Wood and told Elijah Wood to go with them and Elijah Wood went--because he thought it was a movie. Elijah Wood and other celebrities like Salman Rushdie rode dolphins in rivers. Salman Rushdie felt proud and famous. And the dolphins swam to islands and beat Elijah Wood and the other famous people with heavy branches. They cried when they murdered human beings, and it was terrible.

One dolphin had a battle axe and killed Wong Kar-Wai."

Tao Lin, a writer of "Kmart realism".

Gen Z “Real” Alt Kid

Some of the most annoying little shits on the internet. Typically claims to be punk or goth or metal or any other subculture that was really big like 40 years ago. They discover 1 song from Dead Kennedys, the Cure, Mayhem, or any other edgy band from the 70s-90s and try to act like their music taste is superior to that of their peers. Snobby and pompous as fuck and usually won’t shut the fuck up about how emo trap/dark trap artists like Lil Peep, $uicideboy$, and Ghostemane aren’t “real punk” or “real metal” or “real goth” even though nobody around them actually thinks that or says that. They mock dead artists’ deaths just simply because they don’t like them and then suddenly act like they give a shit about humanitarianism when someone makes fun of Joey Jordison or Rozz Williams. Overall, they’re quite hypocritical and annoying as shit! If they catch you posting a story of you listening to one Ecco2k track while wearing black clothes, they will try to send you playlists of bands that you probably already know and like such as the Cure, Orchid, Slipknot, etc. but they still think you’re intellectually inferior to them for liking rap music (which may or may not be racially charged…). If you think you might be a Gen Z “Real Alt” Kid, don’t worry. It’s perfectly okay to like punk rock, metal, goth, emo, etc. It’s just bullshit to put genres and subcultures into a static box and not let artists evolve their sound or fans their fashion style without throwing a pussy fit.

Drainer kid: “I love bladee he’s such a good artist!”

Gen Z “real” alt kid: “BLADEE IS NOT REAL EMO!!!1!1! REAL EMO CONSISTS OF THE 1980—“

Drainer kid: “Oh my God nobody fucking gives a shit go outside.”

Emo kid: “Yeah tf??? You literally think you’re better than us cos u like the same music as my mom and dad and uncle and you dress like a character from The Breakfast Club. Don’t be a dick, bro.”

Drainer kid: “You’re kinda cool! Wanna go listen to the new Underoath album?”

Emo kid: “Hell yea man!”

Gen Z “real” alt kid: *unintelligible screaming noises upon hearing an underoath fan call himself emo*
