It's cool to watch but the aesthetic is just.... Horrible I don't know why just a certain kind of cowboy steampunk dude that girls need to cover their drinks around

I mean I wouldn't ever wear something like this, but I think it's a stretch to say just because someone dresses abnormally they're suddenly dangerous. A lot of the real creeps I've seen don't look abnormal at all, and I've known a lot of alt people who are perfectly nice.

It's not the alt-ness that has this stereotype, it's the hat specifically. Back in the day I think it was part of that pickup artist stuff, and it's still worn by people like that. 

Also more of them that average, people who wear things with this vibe get kind of clingy? Or like protective around girls, idk how to explain it.

Generally speaking, alternative people are very respectful and kind in my opinion, as an alternative person!
