[Ryouji Gunblade]

Maybe. I doubt gunblades are all that edgy by themselves though.

 

[Inspectah_Deck]

My first email addy was independentgunman@...
I still use it to this day as my spammail.
At the time I played Gunman Chronicles and was a cool skaterboy who liked the skateboardfirm Independent.
I remember, that even my 3 years older friend who helped me create the account thought it was cringey.

 

[SlickShoes]

I've had the same name since SOCOM 1, use it for everything I can unless some other chancer has stolen it.

It's timeless.

However my e-mail address I still used is the title of a Dillinger Four song and it's dire spelling it out to people on the phone.

 

[Koriandrr]

I thought edgelord meant references that shock or offend not just normal names. OP needs a definition.

Edgelord:

 

[Cipherr]

My tag when I was younger was "Unholy". So, yeah. Total edgelord. I grew up in a very religious household, so to me at the time in my teens; that was SUPER edgy and "against the machine" sort of shit.

The second handle I ever used was this one, and I simply never changed it ever again. Its ~17 or so years old now, which is a LONG fucking time. But I simply don't care to bother changing it now since its tied to so many decade or older handles on so many of the gaming platforms I use like Steam/Battlenet and others.

Its cringey as hell with the super awesome intentional misspelling

, but whatever. Whats done is done.

I thought edgelord meant references that shock or offend not just normal names. OP needs a definition.

Well to be fair, whats considered edgy to kids that are teenagers now is very different from 20 years ago when some of us were teens. "Dark Angel" and "Unholy" counted as edgy in the 1990's... But now in the days of /r/The_Donald, MGTOW, Gamergate and shit... who the hell knows.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Oh God, remember how many Aragorns and Striders you'd see in multiplayer games?

I still see lots of striders but mostly in MMOs.

 

[Transistor]

I used to go by MasterXero because I was a gaming master and spelling things with an X was cool.

God, in cringing just thinking about it

 

[forknknife]

Obligatory

Incredible

 

[ScottSullivan]

Back in the starcraft 1, Warcraft 3 games, I had a username |X-Chaos| Yes, I am terribly embarrassed by that stage of my life, I don't even know what that was supposed to mean

 

[Fat4all]

id rather not disclose

 

[fwpx]

d4rkspike

ugh.

 

[Alej]

I have been Alej since my birth.

 

[FantasticMrSnake]

Obligatory

haha, some of those are hilarious, specially the ones with l33t.

I was beaten by snake_eat_her the other day in destiny (like a year ago, lol).

Luckily the only thing I regret for my nicknames are the ones with a year on it.

 

[Noisepurge]

I'm still an edgelord. When did it go out of fashion?

yeah, highfive!

(a smooth and really cool, not too happy or enthusiastic, highfive)

 

[Fevaweva]

I was really into Warhammer when I made my steam profile "Purge_heretic"

Am i edgey?

 

[Cryxo93]

I knew someone who called themselves 'The Abortionist'. Although I think it was more out of irony than anything else.

 

[The Elite]

I don't think I ever was.

I bought Portal on ebay once and the guy actually sold me his steam account with Portal on it and the username was "Menitta". I'm Menitta now.

Prior to that, everything was Nintendo which didn't have Usernames, just Miis.

Edit: I do still enjoy Shadow the Hedgehog though.

Little did you know you inherited the Menitta crown and all the responsibility that comes with your title. Somewhere, your kingdom awaits you.

 

[E_Darkness]

*looks at username*

I'm not answering this question.

 

[lem0n]

When I started my Steam account I was .:adepT

Sigh.

Also I was SanAndreas723 on XBL WAY back in the day but that was just stupid

 

[Nothing1016]

No. but I made my gamer tag when I was like 12 or 13. It's currently jewchefhat93, which is offensive so I want to change it to just ChefHat93 or my current most common tag Nothing1016. But PSN is dumb.

 

[Sgtpepper89]

I guess im really old, never even heard the term edgelord until last month.. I usally take my nicknames from music or my real name.

 

[Booker Dewitt]

I knew a guy who named his cat Mr. President.

Better than Whiskers The Grey and Meowth Vader.

 

[Monochromaticx]

I guess my id could be considered edgelordish
Good thing about it is that it's always available when creating new accounts

 

[nowarning]

I had some shite handles back in the day on UT, Q3 etc. but they're not really traceable and don't link back to any accounts or anything, also nothing edgy that I can remember.

I did have the same handle on Steam for 13 years until I changed it this year, and again it wasn't edgy or anything, my psn and xbl are just versions of that nick so I've pretty much avoided all edge.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I once joined a forum with the username Sephiroth_clone and avatar based on this image:

 

[RollerMeister]

I once made a Devil May Cry AMV with Linkin Park music, with windows movie maker.

Don't think I ever topped that one.

 

[lem0n]

Nothing's fucking with that, bro. Outstanding

 

[speedlolita]

I used the alias "Lone Wolf" for some time... so yes.

I made some AMVs in my time too. All to FF7 AC, with songs by the likes of Iron Maiden and Symphony X.

 

[astroturfing]

my first username in CS was xXxDungéonWôlfsxXx or something, then i got serious with the edge and changed it to PAN-fuckin'-SPERMIA... and people just called me sperm :|

 

[choodi]

Back in the days of three-letter arcade game leaderboard names, I would enter my name as DIK. My cousin would use DED.

Supreme edge.

 

[xChildOfHatex]

Look at my username... What do you think?

 

[Barrel Cannon]

My longest running Xbox gamertag is IMD1 PK and still is. IMD1 is a reference to the matrix series and PK is just my initials. It doesn't bother me too much.

My PSN name is more cheesy than it is edgy

 

[Imur]

I used to play as ImUrDEATH...so yeah, I guess. Everyone called me Imur and that stuck.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I guess im really old, never even heard the term edgelord until last month.. I usally take my nicknames from music or my real name.

I still don't know what it even means. I once read on NeoGAF that people who preferred the Sega Saturn over the PS1 and N64 were "edgelords".

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

Was and still am Rabid Dwarf 76. Don't consider it edgy. I was never really an edgelord as far as I understand the term.

 

[Kuntz]

My first Diablo2 character was a necromancer called Sephiroth...

 

[DD]

I was DD Power on Gaf. Now I'm just DD. :3

 

[Garudan]

Lmao I almost forgot, my first AIM screen name was xXxDragon456.

Watch the fuck out.

 

[Tajbong]

My first tag was Erectos.

Fuck, I was an idiot...

 

[xKilltheMx]

*looks at my username*
*cries*

I have no creativity.

 

[Woetyler]

under the name ".stillborn."

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Nope original online tag was Slipperygoop but moved to AbandonedTrolley after a few years.

 

[ronin_cse]

I started with Shadow_cse as my user name on CompuServe chat rooms after my cat who was also named Shadow who was named after Shadowfax from Lord of the Rings (yeah I'm super creative when it comes to names). Later in high school I decided change my online name and I had just bought a new Burton Ronin snowboarding jacket....soooo yeah it has been that ever since. Oh and the CSE are my initials.

 

[Astral]

As the years passed on, I realized that I had more fun living the edgy lifestyle so I've embraced it with a full heart<3

I live and breathe edgy! I wear edgy clothes, wear makeup, love the aesthetic, like the music, and enjoy things when they're dark and gritty. Oh and I LOVE Hot Topic <3

So I kind of wasn't when I was in my teens, but with every passing year of my 20s, the edgier I get c:

In terms of gaming, this simply just translates to maining Reaper in Overwatch and thinking that DmC is the game where I feel like the protag is super relatable and badass

Man every time I read your posts I just think "this guy can't be a real person."

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Come to think of it my Steam account is still named Ragnarok_elite

 

[SliceSabre]

I used to go by dark_dewgong when I was younger.

Pokemon was cool but I needed to toughen it up so I added dark at the beginning so you knew I cool.

 

[Kayant]

Damn was not prepared for that edge coming into this thread OP.

Is SparklyAok edgy?!! If so...

 

[inner-G]

I made a shitty PSN username that I thought was jut for RFOM at PS3 launch, and I've been stuck with it ever since

 

[DarkConfidant]

I had one of those xX names on XBL at a point.

The worst offense known to mankind.

 

[DrArchon]

I remember making sure the first bands on my braces were black and red because I was hyped for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the Gamecube and thought that Shadow was super cool because he was tough and evil.

God I was naive.
