And loud motorcycles.
And the ice cream truck playing jingles. I am not a fan of people driving trucks into neighbourhoods and playing loud music to advertise.
I don't think these people necessarily think it's cool either. They want attention and to annoy people, which is what they get.

Even worse with motorcycles. Seems like most people own motorcycles specifically for "fun" (waste fuel and make noise).
And just generally being loud. Even regular cars can be loud if you drive like an asshole.

Another reason to look forward to electric vehicles! Imagine a world 20 years from now where the noise is vanishing, the gasoline/deisel smell is only for the diehards going to that one remaining service station that still sells it, no more visible emissions from cars or rolling coal!
I'm about two months into owning a fully-electric vehicle (not a Tesla, thank goodness), and I have a hard time getting over how wonderfully quiet it is. And it's one of the qualities I couldn't wait to experience.

Calling yourself "Alpha". If you have to say it out loud, you are definitely not the Alpha.
Sounds like something a beta would say
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.”
Around here it's the boomers who are smoking cigarettes!
I think you just sound like a rational human being that doesn't consistently use their emotions for decision making.
Drinking. It's one of the more damaging drugs but it's completely normalized because it's legal. Even people who don't have drinking problems per se, Ares still harming their health way more than they realize.

Not wearing a seatbelt and not wearing a helmet.
My pet peeve is people cycling with a helmet but not doing it up. It's so blatantly stupid- you get none of the benefits, and all of the negatives.
Driving dangerously.
You are not in fast'n'fourious, you are just a piece of shit endangering every one around you
Vaping/smoking.
Being part of a marginalized or oppressed group.
Am a member of 3. Can confirm it's shit.
Damn, that's so cool.
War.
Cryptocurrency and AI
I've got a close elderly family member who's recently gotten fixated on investing in crypto, watching all the YouTube videos on the subject.
I don't know enough about it to confidently say they're going to lose all their money, I've never looked into it because it just screams get rich quick scheme, but I don't have high hopes for them.

It happened to my relative. They didn't lose everything, but they lost enough that they're shopping for a mobile home for retirement, when they previously could have bought a small house.

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.
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.
- 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
Contrarianism. Being anti-"Popular Thing" just for the sake of being anti-"Popular Thing" marks you out as having no thoughts worth hearing out.

illicit drug culture.
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

Clever insults rather than substantial discussion or "to cut off heads in order to appear taller," rather than doing the work to actually be a better version of self.
Moaning about issues without putting in effort or taking any risks to correct issues.
Certain kinds of rightwingers. Some of them are quiet about it, but the loud ones are often extremely obnoxious and clearly think they're hot shit.
