>emo kid or a gangster ?
Those things hadn't even been invented back when I was in school, in those long ago days when Gen-X was teenagers. We had jocks, nerds, preppies, metalheads, and what was the rarest clique at the time, punk rockers. (If you were into music that was considered Goth or New Wave you were lumped in with the punks) Strangely enough, back then punks and metalheads were arch-enemies even though we were often wearing the same black leather jackets.

Naturally I was a nerd when I started high school, but in an effort to escape the curse of nerddom I gradually mutated into a punker and was considered to be the weirdest kid in school by the time it was all over.

Is this really something to worry about? "Normies" know what Dungeons & Dragons is, so now you don't feel like you're special for playing it?

>InB4 I'm not talking about Dungeons & Dragons!
Okay so what are you talking about? What is this niche thing you liked that got ruined for you by becoming popular? And if it then became unpopular, why would you care if someone says it's not popular anymore when you liked it before it was popular? Give me some specifics here, your rant doesn't make any sense to me.
