Calling yourself “Alpha”. If you have to say it out loud, you are definitely not the Alpha.
Sounds like something a beta would say

Typical Alpha response?

Not wearing a seatbelt and not wearing a helmet.
I’m gonna sound like a boomer but cigarettes and not using PPE, including with recreational activities such as motorcycling and hobby crafts.
Becoming a meat crayon isn’t worth “looking cool.”
Vaping/smoking.
Being part of a marginalized or oppressed group.
Being able to identify adult videos/actresses on sight. Like, multiple. I can understand someone having a favorite or something, but some people are like walking porn IMDBs.
Not sure who thinks this is cool but, yeah, that’s not a convo I’m jumping in on.
War.
The outside of a space station in sunlight (~121° C or ~250° F)
Branded clothes. Why are you a walking advertisement because rappers who get paid big money to tell you that looks cool tell you to wear it? It’s all ugly anyway.
illicit drug culture.
Contrarianism. Being anti-“Popular Thing” just for the sake of being anti-“Popular Thing” marks you out as having no thoughts worth hearing out.
As somebody who was anti for a loooong time, 100% this. It’s a bad mindset, and it affects your wellbeing.
But what if I really like Linux
You wanna really be a contrarian? Use Windows. Everyone in tech is already on a MacBook or Linux
Then you’re not being anti-“popular thing” you’re being pro-linux
Or you’re neurodivergent and you’re naturally anti anything that has the potential to be remotely popular
Loudly and intrusively hating things that other people like.
If someone likes a terrible show or movie or musician or whatever else… just let them like their thing. It’s okay to state your point if you somehow get dragged into a conversation on the merits of a given thing, but making a point of shitting on something that someone likes when they’re in no way harming you is just shitty behavior, and it’s not going to accomplish anything.
Don’t yuck other people’s yums.
The world would be a much nicer place if everyone lived like this.
Smoking weed in the park and dropping the N bomb constantly.
I always liked smoking weed in the park. Usually in my car or out on a secluded trail. Never felt the need to drop n bombs tho
Obviously weren’t cool enough

Now that cigarettes are finally going away, it was nice to breathe fresh air for a bit, but it’s getting worse again. There are so many cannabis options that don’t ruin other people’s enjoyment of the outdoors, can’t smoking just go away entirely?
There’s this one bench area on our town common that permanently reeks of pot smoking. It’s outside, no one around, yet it still stinks. And it stinks enough that walking g by on the sidewalk is unpleasant.
Or that riverwalk, where we can enjoy brief experiences of nature in between all the islands of pot smoke.
I was going to find some extremely old racial epithet that starts with an N, so obscure it wouldn’t offend anyone anymore. But I decided I don’t want to Google “obscure ethnic slurs” today, so I decided to skip this comment.
Nincompoop
- Loud exhaust (specially with back pressure bangs)
- Teslas
- AI
- Crypto coins
- Smoking weed in public
- lifted trucks
Edit: Giant trucks and SUVs, they aren’t cool, and they arent safer because of their size
I honestly think sad one night stands. I don’t care what people do with their sex lives, it’s not my affair, but I think those just cause depression.
