Opinions on e-kids?

Scene, emo, and mall goth kids were treated and viewed the exact same as E-kids are now. So keep that in mind regardless of opinion

the way they dress is cool but since its not a music based subculture i wouldnt consider them alternative personally

i actually think the aesthetic is rlly cool, i kinda hate the hyperpop music but tbf i did go through an hp phase law :P as for the kids themselves, i always hate how theyre calling themselves goth or emo, like everything is great but theyre always getting the subculture wrong lawl >_<

I feel like us older scene/goth/emo kids walked so that E-kids could run today. I feel as if our generational trauma got put to an ok use I suppose. 

Definitely agree that the E-Girls / E-Boys are the evolution of Emo, though I'm sad that the style is a little less "daring" and more "uniform" in a way. Either way, even if I miss the Emo / Scene Days, I'm glad to see kids expressing themselves and finding their community!

i dont think they are considered actually alternative but they cool :) some are mean to me though :<

I THINK THEYR RELLY KEWL !!!! IDK if id count dem az alternative, necessarily, BUTZ I luv how they drezz !!! I think itz TOTEZ SWAGGRZ !!! I luv n support ekidz w mai wholeeee HART !!! ^3^ <3

Personally I'm not really into it since it seems to "polished" and "uniformed" for me, but I do like some of the accessories that they wear.

meh. let them do them its not hurting anyone really, gotta remember emo and scene kids were treated the same way back then 

they have a nice style, sometimes it can be too much... all in all i am not a fan because there is not a specific genre they listen to and 90% of them call themselves "emo kids" just because they are *sad* or wear dark clothes. It's like the mgk thing.

A lot of people here are saying the essence of what I'm thinking. But just to put it into more perspective, just as emos, for some reason are called wannabe goths, I don't imagine any scenario at the moment where it would be acceptable to ridicule e-kids by calling them "wannabe emos". I also, as a result, rather than hating them, feel I should support them.

eh, they're alright. my only problem is that ppl often mix up e-kids, emo kids, and scene kids. 

Su estilo no es malo, sin embargo pienso que es un estilo basado en el gótico moderno y un tanto emo, y creo qe no le dan los creditos a los estilos correspondiente xD

my only problem is that some of them are kind of mean and a lot of the platforms they use are really toxic or weirdly against certain things, but I wouldn't be so wary of them otherwise!

They just the TikTok version of MySpace era

They are full of rage and desire, they could go far if they weren't so hormonally horny for each other

As of now alot of e-kids are made fun of because its "cringe" now as the trend is over I personally like the style its cool but not for me i'm more scene

I feel like e-kids get way too much hate honestly, the style isn't rlly 4 me but people r too harsh!

Everyone is free to like different things buuut e-kids won’t ever be like emos/scenes and goths 

While E-Kid culture isn't a proper subculture just yet, more of a fashion/aesthetic style, it should be treated with respect. The kids are expressing themselves, just like we all did at their age. Only times they should be criticized is if they do actually dangerous or offensive stuff (e.g. dancing on graves/tombs - I remember this blowing up ages ago in the Goth scene and many Goths weren't happy about it).

They're a bunch of posers, plain and simple. I especially hate it when us emos are confused with those stupid poser kids. >:(  :disgust:

I don't mind them. They're their own subculture. They have their own fashion and music tastes, and they seem to have a lot of fun in their own little community. I think people on the outside often mistake them as emo but its not the subculture's fault cause they don't really fully commit to the emo label half the time. Plus it seems they have a lot of inclusion to non-white kids and regardless of what kids say these days, rap WAS a counterculture to mainstream, and hardcore rap still is. Emotional rap is. So that technically makes them alt whether people like it or not. And who's to say they're not listening to y2k emo bands? You cant just assume everything about a person just because of their fashion choices and aesthetic. They could listen to Lil Peep but they could also be throwing down to Alesana for all we know. If there was anything that was a core value to emo culture it was to never judge a book by its cover and that in the end we were all outcasts. Fuck acting traditionalist, that shit is facsh talk. That's not punk at all. 

1. I don’t really like them..I’ll be polite to them, but I don’t know, I feel like they change their aesthetic every week. Nothing wrong with finding your style but they completely change the aesthetic, music, and their entire personality every week based on what the internet likes
   

They're cool, I mean I think the styles are cute but I dont think they're alt. As long as they arent jerks im fine with them.

idk like they just think are cool or smt but they aren't.

They just don't know what they want to be and for that they dress cringe and acting really dumb.

Sorry don't want to sound rude but i just  don't like them.  

!Long reply incoming that is like 2 years late!

I have personally never really interacted w e-kids but I have heard that some can come across quite rude. I think their style is cute but would never really wear myself. If they're even considered alt I would say they're like the most liked and praised style for some reason, possibly because its more aesthetically pleasing to the 2020s and in my personal opinion is the  most basic style in the alt community. Tbf I have no clue what music they listen too and as far as I know, it is not a music based subculture so I don't even know if it is considered alt. In my personal opinion I would class them as alt in fashion terms because you don't really walk in your local town and see many people dressed in an e-kid manner (even tho I would say most alts I've seen in public are e-kids) but that's possibly as far as it goes in terms of being alternative. I just feel like the style dose not allow itself to take risks like scene kids do with their hair or trad goths with their makeup (few out of many examples) and defo feels bland, which is quite weird for an "alt" fashion subculture because that is one of the main purposes to dress alt is to stand out and be youself as well as proper daring (opinion). Tbf their outfits without accessories are just plain coloured shirts and pleated skirts. If my nan (grandma) were to try and dress me alternative she'd go for this ngl, to me this style also feels very copy and paste to me and idk why. Ngl when those certain types of men say they want a "goth girl" they're really only referring to e-girls with 10k Only Fan subs and would bark at an actual goth. I feel like also being an e-kid comes down to a lot of pretty privilege also, If is see an e-kid on my tiktok for you page who may not be considered as attractive as Belle Delphine or Pokimane then they get hollered and laughed at. Idk my personal opinion, no beef at all w e-kids also as I said their style is quite cute and every subculture has its pros and cons :)!!

Not a proper subculture yet, more a fashion movement, but other than that who the fuck cares? If they are happy, that's all that matter.

Idk Honestly, I guess it's NOT my favorite but I DON'T care that much honestly..!!

pienso que los e-kids son unos maricos de mielda chamo viva venezuela jajaja saludos pal jasterbuk

E-kids r so cool and i wish i knew some irl :3

idk much about them but to me they look kinda like emos bimbo-fied cousin
