Chapter 192 Hot Discussion on All Platforms

[The tragedy of Shamatte is that they have lost their voices. Their work intensity and education level have made them de facto mute. They can’t even fight against educated keyboard warriors online, and they can’t stand up to educated people in their pursuit of originality. Their venting aesthetic is really cyberpunk.]

[The Internet shows them a colorful world, but reality tells them that they are only worthy of staying in the shadows.]

[The saddest thing is that their education level, depth of thought, and family background prevent them from even returning to their hometown to do easy work and live a happy and contented life. They can only tear themselves apart between the sadness of reality and the illusory desires.]

[These are a group of poor children who have been misunderstood and are huddling together for warmth. I hope the world will be more tolerant of them.]

The post ends with an appeal.

[Every trendy person looks down on Shamatte, everyone laughs at Shamatte, but everyone is Shamatte.

Today, we all owe the members of the Shamatte family an apology! 】

When Yu Hongwei saw this, he felt sad.

He suddenly remembered why he wanted to criticize Shamatte?

Why would he attack these netizens online who he had never met and had no connection with him for no reason?
It seems like I'm just following the trend on the Internet.

Maybe it’s because they are the weak ones but so arrogant that you want to bully them?

They didn’t mess with themselves.

In fact, in the beginning two years ago, when he saw the Shamatte hairstyle for the first time, he actually felt longing and envy in his heart!

So cool, so unique, and so trendy.

This was his first impression of Shamatte.

But the school and his parents did not allow him, a student still attending school, to have such an exaggerated hairstyle.

Thus, the mentality of wanting to destroy something if one cannot get it is born.

When he sees others insulting and mocking them online, he would step forward and step on them to vent his dark heart.

As a result, are these innocent people harmed?

He suddenly remembered a line of narration on the screen in the documentary about Mr. Time:

[The colorful hairstyles are actually a rebellion against the world under the hard mechanized work. ]

[The mechanical and numb assembly line work made them forget themselves, and only by playing with their hairstyles could they find themselves again.]

【However, they have nothing except their hair. 】

"Haha. I really am a beast. It seems that Li Ping was right to scold me!"

Feeling guilty, Yu Hongwei cursed himself in his heart.

Then, he followed the same pattern and posted a message under the post on Tieba:

——Sorry, Shamatte!

Including the World of Warcraft forum and other forums with the largest number of people.

It also seemed like an organized and premeditated move, with people clamoring to say sorry to the Shamatte group, leading to this apology trend.

There were tens of thousands of posts expressing apologies in just one night.

Because the netizens in the Di Bar and WOW Bar have the greatest malice towards the Shamatte!
Most of the netizens who followed the trend and criticized Shamatte came from here.

In addition to the apology post.

There are also some "deconstruction posts" circulating that are even more exaggerated than the whitewashing posts.

The post reads as follows:

[The predecessor of Shamatte is a punk rock culture in Europe and the United States!
It is a branch of post-punk that developed from gothic punk in the 1980s and 1990s.

The symbol is the long sideburns with bangs that are all over the Internet, pulled very straight, and the colors are mainly black, red, purple, blue and green.

Now it has been mutated and developed by Luo Fuxing, and has become our Shamatte subculture! 】

[The Shamatte style is actually separated from heavy music, but retains the core of the punk spirit, becoming a style and rebellious spirit. This is how the Shamatte family that was popular all over the Internet at that time came about.]

This kind of post was something Yang Xiao had not expected at first.

Is the imagination of netizens so extreme?

How can I come up with so many inexplicable associations? It's just like doing Chinese reading comprehension!
But this post is more effective than the soft-article posts that indirectly whitewash!

The level of Shamatte has been immediately raised to more than one level!
It was deconstructed by this netizen.

After all the pretense and banner-raising, it really becomes related to culture, fashion and trends.

Even Luo Fuxing, the founder of Shamatte, was stunned after seeing it.

He thought that he was studying visual art at that time.

What does it have to do with all this European and American punk rock and other messed up stuff?

Never heard of it!
However, he received instructions from Yang Xiao, not allowing him to make random comments online in the near future.

Just let this group of netizens play around with it.

But it should be said or not.

This is the first time I have seen the kindness of netizens, and it is heartwarming to receive their recognition!
This was also the first time that he felt sincerely proud of being the founder of the Shamatte family!
"Shamatte I Love You" is not only popular on Tieba.

This documentary also began to gain popularity on other platforms.

Douban.

As the original community platform for literary and artistic young people, the documentary received a lot of support and comments as soon as it was released.

Among them are some well-known and cultured influencers who began to write articles.

[The dormitory building of Foxconn rotates around the camera, and their hedgehog heads rotate around the wire. The bottom of the well is too deep, and the building is too high. That is a distance that their upright hair can never fill.]

[This is a revolution in which millions of young people from the lower classes want to break through inherent concepts and embrace freedom.

When we look at Shamatte objectively, we are more moved and sigh. 】

[This is a so-called "us" killing "them"! ]

Without exception, all of them were positive comments in support of Shamatte.

Just one night.

"Shamatte I Love You" started from the initial forum, sparked widespread discussion, and then spread rapidly, becoming popular all over the Internet.

There are mainly four reasons.

1. Yang Xiao's account has its own traffic, and he is the base of Tieba. Even the bar owner Cai Se Ge and others have had a "PY deal" with Yang Xiao in private, and of course they spared no effort to promote him. Even the top soft article was personally written by one of the deputy bar owners.

Second, the Shamatte group in the documentary itself aroused resonance and sympathy among netizens.

In fact, not all members of the Shamatte group are uneducated workers.

There are also some well-educated and wealthy children from urban areas who just like this kind of unrestrained family atmosphere.

The "structure post" in the forum was actually written by a rich second-generation 985 university student.

3. The song “People without ideals will not be sad” is so beautiful!

It instantly dominated the charts on all major music platforms.

And it has become very popular!
For a young man like Yu Hongwei who is still in school, the lyrics of this song can only be vaguely understood.

For some corporate workers who are already working, this is something they particularly like and may even like it very much.

It really speaks to their hearts!
Most of the people who wrote articles to "whitewash" the Shamat movement came from this group of people.

This group of people are typical young people who "die at the age of 25 and are not buried until the age of 75."

The ideals in their hearts have long since died.

I was particularly touched by the line in the lyrics - [The person you once loved, you will never meet again in this life].

As a result, they can better understand the non-mainstream in the documentary and are more tolerant of them.

[They have no culture, but they can also be sad. ]

This was their tiny contribution to support Shamatte, but it was like a spark that could start a prairie fire, opening up a path to whitewash Shamatte.

4. The documentary is divided into two parts.

At the end of the previous episode, there was an introduction with the story of Tan Bin and Tan Yue.

This has made netizens have more expectations for this film.

Yang Xiao did not reveal their real names.

Tan Bin’s alias is Leng Shao.

Tan Yue’s alias is Xiaoyue.

These two names directly caused netizens to feel a huge contrast.

A special name for Tan Bin, Leng Shao.

This is his ID in Cross Fire, which was directly moved into the documentary by Yang Xiao.

What is Leng Shao? Pi Shao!

This is the huge contrast that netizens feel in their hearts after seeing this name.

Damn, the Shamatte guys are pretty good at naming things.

It's really intimidating to give people such names all the time.

It gives people the feeling that he is a killer.

The results of it?
He was an illegal child laborer on an assembly line, being bullied to the point where he couldn't even get his wages.

The main thing is that the name of this group of people, the Shamatte family, is quite intimidating.

To normal people, a family name with the word "kill" in it sounds like something bad.

Add the names of the members inside.

There are so many names like Lan Shao, A Jian, and Leng Xue!
Unexpectedly.

After tearing off this domineering disguise, this is what it looks like?
Behind the fig leaf is a comedic black humor, with a hint of absurdity and pity.

As a result, while netizens were shocked by the truth, they gradually became demystified by the Shamatte and began to involuntarily tolerate and understand them.

Netizens sympathize with Tan Bin's experience in asking for salary.

But the appearance of Tan Yue is different.

As soon as she appeared on the stage, she instantly attracted the audience's attention.

What's more, the name Xiaoyue makes her different from the non-mainstream ones.

Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she immediately attracted the attention of a lot of loser male netizens!

It perfectly illustrates what beauty is justice.

This is!
This appearance, which is not inferior to that of a school beauty, has given the Shamatte group a halo.

Makes them doubt.

Is this still the Shamatte they despise?
ugly?
Do you call such a beauty ugly?
You say you are ugly, right? Then do you dare to post your photos and let everyone comment on what you look like?
Therefore, no one dares to use the excuse of ugliness to attack the Shamatte anymore.

earth?
Sorry, this beauty’s hairstyle is a little exaggerated, but it still doesn’t seem to be tacky, right?

This is a simple and pure beauty!
Do you know how to appreciate?

Damn, the people who curse Shamatte are a group of people, and the people who praise Shamatte are also the same group of people.

The nature of human beings is indeed double standards!
Anyway, I have said all the good and bad things to them now.

Moreover, since watching the documentary, I learned about the backgrounds and working environments of most of the Shamatte.

In addition, some great masters came out to express their support.

Netizens really have no ill will towards Shamatte anymore!

The scene in the video where Tan Bin asked for his salary and was bullied by his black-hearted boss is still vivid in our minds.

For this group of Shamatte teenagers, most of whom are fourteen or fifteen years old, they come out to work and earn money.

All that was left in their hearts was guilt and sympathy.

In this regard, netizens have launched extensive discussions on this.

The documentary also became a hit!

This immediately changed the views of some passers-by and those who followed the trend towards Shamatte!

　Thank you for your monthly support!
