There was supposed to be an earth-shattering rebellion!

We had 8 years of a black man/ democrat in the white house.
Pepe and the alt right is the rebellion.
Alt-right IS the new counterculture. It's a backlash against all the social progress made in the last couple decades, by people (mostly white men) who think progress swung too far. Theres this emerging and disturbing idea that feminism is sexist against men, or that white people are villified.
Being alt right is the new punk.
Where's the Rebellion? I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time. Where is the Rebel base?
rebellion against rebellion
Nailed it.
Giving a shit isn't cool.
What are these teens doing?
I kind of assumed that a lot of them would be creating subcultures I hadn't dreamt of, that none of us would, and that would later come into fruition. All I see are shitty youtube channels, reactions to corporate media, streaming horseshit, and stuff about mainstream pop music, Where are the rebellious kids who are gonna reshape what we have now into something new?
I'm actually asking. I wanna see it.
This may shock you, but there are actually white people doing good things that aren't nazis or "allies" and don't live on facebook or twitter. They are just people.However, many women and teens of color are out there doing great things (as are some of their white male allies) in the Trump era and participating in a level of activism not seen since Vietnam.
They're bringing back all the stuff that older generations literally fought wars to eliminate.

At any rate, why would anyone want teenagers to come up with anything. They are morons. Ever had to go to a mall?
Didn't know it was possible to contradict yourself in a post so quickly.
If they can't even talk to others face to face without having a panic attack
They're too busy texting, taking selfies, writing their daily routine into their (quasi-diary) facebook to notice the real world. If they can't even talk to others face to face without having a panic attack, how do you expect them to play any part in a rebellion?

At least the trend of old people complaining about young people continues.
Most baby boomers weren't hippies. Most Gen Xers weren't punks.People saying all young people are alt right are gonna make me roll my eyes out of my sockets. For every young alt righter, theres 10 more liberal leaning kids who think those guys are assholes. Every Trump supporter ive met in public has been 50+.

Rebellions are driven by small yet influential groups of disrupters. The alt-right fits the bill perfectly, despite it not fitting our romanticized, sanitized notions of rebellion that have, ironically enough, been popularised by mass media.
This is also a great point.Millenials/Gen Z are the first post-unleaded gas generations in the US. The reduction in impulsive behavior that has helped reduce crime rates has had effects like that elsewhere as well.

Do they fit the bill better than LGBT and "SJW"s? Those groups do plenty of disrupting as well.
