I've been listening to School Shooter/NegativeXP since probably 2018 too and for many years I never really listened to any other incelcore (or e-punk, as Shooter insists on calling it since the term incelcore makes him leak) artists until a couple years ago, starting with Gezebelle and lately FBF, h4rtbrkr and a couple others that find their way into my playlist.

It's probably because I simply listened in isolation instead of becoming part of any "culture" or "community," but I never really felt bothered by "normies" and the like "LARPing" incelcore. I can't think of anything worse than a fandom negatively affecting the art it is based around, and I don't think that ever happened with incelcore. NXP and Gez still make great stuff nowadays and many new, talented artists are picking up right where the old MSG greats left off 10 years ago.

I think a lot of the perceived disconnect nowadays in the incelcore "community" isn't so much between "loser" and "normie" as much as it is between "oldfag" and "newfag," and as a proponent of soy cultural ethos, I welcome the newCHADS and their rejuvenation of the genre.
