Oh no, I was in the first group (for 3/4 of high school) and I definitely thought that I was a loser.
I really don’t care about party-goers.
How about internet party goers
And how about lan-party goers?
Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days

- The dutch.
- your mom
Lol. I can’t decide which is funnier: The dutch or your mom.
Are there Dutch yo momma jokes?
This is so poorly made and inaccurate I hesitate to even call it rage bait. I love partying with my friends and going to concerts and such. I am also looking forward to this coming Friday night where I will get to play Baldur’s gate for a few hours uninterrupted. I don’t live with some sort of weird split consciousness.
This would have been maybe edgy or interesting 20 years ago. Now you may as well say “there are two types of people: people who like to see movies, and people who like to party with their friends. And both think the others are losers.“ It is equally ridiculous.

Having been a teenager approximately 20 years ago, no this wouldn’t. We partied and went out, and played video games and surfed the net back then too.
Eh. I grew up in a football town. There was definitely a dichotomy between the popular kids and the “nerds” back when the term was only used as an insult. I think people have to remember their local experiences are only indicative of their locale, not the world at large. The same likely applies here. Won’t be true for everyone, so the post is at least wrong in that regard, but the person who made it probably just didn’t consider their experience is the same as everyone else’s either.
Based on just browsing social media, this would be more accurate if it were stated as a spectrum and the two extremes hate each other. That would explain the posts in the recent past of people complaining about “normies” (unironically) joining Lemmy.
When I’ve seen complaints about “normies” using Lemmy, it has more to do with people who are enlightened centrists / freeze peach warriors bringing their diseased takes here from reddit
I don’t think it has anything to do with which specific hobbies people enjoy, especially since we can’t even see that through the screen. I don’t know anyone who really cares if you enjoy clubs, gaming, or both.
I just don’t think people going out on the weekend are sitting around seething over “gamers” or vice versa. The normie thing is just another variation of the same theme: people like to think they are the in-group who “get it” and that most people around them are like them until someone catches their attention for not conforming to whatever standard they have internalized. They assume everyone else is an interloper based on how they envision other users, going off of a “vibe” if you will.
Yeah, except I’ve observed that theme. So it does happen. I’m confused. If you claim to admit it happens, why then state you don’t believe it happens? I don’t even follow what you’re saying anymore.
Is this divisive jock/preppy/nerd/skater/gangsta shit still going on 23 years after I left high school? I thought y’all zoomers were better than that.
Actually not. You can be a massive nerd these days and still go get fucked up and party.
There will always be popular extroverts and unpopular introverts.
Can we stop this “Introvert” BS? An “introvert” is someone who will tend to keep their thoughts to themselves. Nothing more. This “the extroverts are the sports guys and the introverts are the intellectuals” is completely made up and people will not like you more or less depending on wether you wear your heart on your tongue or not.
An “introvert” is someone who will tend to keep their thoughts to themselves.
That’s not correct at all, and it’s funny because you’re so confident about it
Extraversion tends to be manifested in outgoing, talkative, energetic behavior, whereas introversion is manifested in more reflective and reserved behavior.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion
That’s not how they’re defined, just typical manifestations of the underlying personalities.
Introverts emotionally recharge from alone time, extroverts emotionally recharge from time with others.
This is exactly the kind of made up division I’m talking about. There is no such thing as “someone who ‘emotionally recharges X or Y way’”.
First of all: Why exactly would Wikipedia - edited by thousands - be wrong if the way you put is “what they are defined as”? Wouldn’t people have written Wikipedia that way then?
Next, there is no such thing as “emotionally recharge”. Our “emotions” aren’t a battery. Also, there is “recharging process” or anything. Generally speaking: Activities that make us happy in that very moment “recharge” our batteries. Parents of young children will confirm that this not neccessarily a task that gives you respite, but can be the most exhausting thing ever, still you’ll come out of it with more energy than before.
And we all - everyone! Yes, you too! - have varying ways of doing that. Sometimes, we’ll want to be around others and it’ll do us good, sometimes we want to be alone and it’ll do us good. While all people will have tendencies towards one way or another, no one has a defined “recharging mode”. No one.
And lastly: The main issue with this division into “introverts” and “extroverts” is not that it’s impossible to divide people by that line. You can, as you can with many, many other lines one could draw. The issue is that people offhandedly attribute all kinds of stuff to this division. All of a sudden, extroverts are “loud” and “confident” and “energetic” and “sports guys”. Even IF we applied your definition… how would the way someone wants to take a break in lead to them being even one of those things? It’s just not logical.
Guess what kind of activities the average outgoing and energetic teenager will pick to indulge in compared to the more reflective and reserved teenager. Sports.
You just proved your own statement wrong.
How would a tendency to keep thoughts on the inside instead of the outside make you more prone to being a sports guy?
I didn’t say anything else in this thread
hello, I’m a 2020 hs graduate, I’m probably in the zoomer category. from my experience, this does not exist outside of movies.
Man what was 2020 graduation like?
pretty boring tbh. most of it was the same, just with masks on, and classes online. thankfully, mu part of australia was mostly unaffected by covid, so final WACE exams were basically the same. the big send off was already done before hand
I was the Internet/Gamer kid raised by television who got drunk at 17 and fell off a roof. Why was I drunk on a roof? Fuckin’ 2001.
Not sure which category I fall under.
I lived in terraced housing and I used to walk across the steep rooftop of my house down to the neighbors. At the time I thought I was being cool, like my hero, Daredevil. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculously dangerous.
I lament the loss of quite a few of my parallel selves.
A false dichotomy created by pop culture to divide teenagers into cliques.
Imagine not cracking a beer while playing Vidya Games.
Yeah, I mean I did plenty of both.
And have felt super cool and like a total loser doing both.
Hell yeah.
Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪
I’m part of the two, am I special? 🙊
no
If you’re not born rich, you’re a loser. There.
Spoiler alert…
They both suck
Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.
You haven’t played LoL, have you?
I think I tried it out but discovered that I find MOBAs boring as hell.
That’s good. Otherwise, you’d probably have cancer.
Wouldn’t know if I did: I’m American, can’t afford a doctor.
I am into sports and making money
In the 90s it wasn’t a problem to do both, so I became a double loser.
I’m about to blaze up and jump into this Tarkov wipe with the boys. The fuck is this.
