I know that a lot of you will roll their eyes, but PLEASE read. In the last few years I noticed that kids and teens are more pressured to grow up and engage in "grown activities", either by their peers or by their own parents. In 2020 the "alt aesthetic" went viral on TikTok and it was literally based on pre existing alternative subcultures like scenemo and mall goth. In the beginning it got some hate but people never stopped liking the style no matter what, matter of fact, there are more and more alt and emo people now because these type of styles became less and less stigmatized. There are alt people even in my small town in Italy. What I'm trying to say is that if we people collectively decide to make something go from "weird/rejected" to the "norm", it will gradually get less stigmatized. This is what I wanna do for all the "geeks" and "nerds" out there. Many parents pressure their kids/teens to change even if they don't have to because they're afraid that their kid will get picked on for being "different". This happens to me too. Also, It's even harder to find friends with common interests that are not based on addiction, lust or greed. So these are the main reasons of why I created PIXELMANIA and OUTMANIA! Two keywords that can help us normal teens to search our interests online and find eachother too :)
