They know what they like and do it regardless of what other people think, and this extends beyond their willingness to ignore "social norms" to achieve it and into their actual photography.
When a younger person does this we call it "cringe" or "autism," and we have a negative term for every possible artistic effect reserved for photos taken by such people.
Just look at that incel. No fashion sense, no grooming, using outdated hipster gear. Probably being a nuisance in a public place, probably being laughed at. No doubt he hasn't gotten laid in decades. Probably shooting some lame street shit, for God's sake he doesn't even have a tripod.
And the worst part is he doesn't even care. Imagining him being happy for so little effort and money makes my millennial blood boil.
