White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

Massively self-obsessed people (e.g people who constantly big themselves up) and Tumblr comedy.
Unfortunately, the venn diagram of self-obsessed theatre adults and people who talk like Tumblr posts is a circle, and it includes the two loudest people in my office.
Or those who make appeals to the self-obsessed. There’s a youtube channel (that keep appearing in my home despite me telling youtube repeatedly that I’m not interested), that starts off every short with “Heey Smart People”.
It’s just the idea of “us” (the smart) vs “them” (the implied dumb) that grinds me because in my experience the difference between these two groups isn’t very big, but people (mostly young adults) really lean into it for reasons of exclusion, fashion, and just general hatred of a strawman.
