A bunch of completely normal people within a young age bracket desperately clawing at whatever they think might be a common trait among them. Most cited are atheists, metal heads, and virgins. Atheists stick out like a sore thumb because they tend to be very forward with their opinions. Metal heads stick out like a sore thumb because they actually have a relatively unified culture of devil thorn throwers that techno, folk, classical, etc. fans lack. And cynical virgins are pretty common, not in gamer culture, but in the world.
So... Regular people who want to feel irregular?...
