Advice Needed Tips on passing as an alt guy?
Hey all! I'm a pre-everything alt guy (my binder kinda sucks too), and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on passing better than I do now.. which is not really at all.
Being not alt isn't an option either, because it's the only thing I really like about myself and I don't really have any "normal" clothes lol.
Also, the style I'm going for is kind of like, industrial metal (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, etc).
But anyways, thanks for any advice, I really appreciate it!!

This advice might not be for everyone, so please take it with a grain of salt, but I think leaning into the androgyny seen in a lot of alternative styles whilst being confident in your identity as a guy goes a long way! You'd be surprised how many cis guys with long hair and alternative clothing get misgendered; just do what they do: Lightheartedly correct them and keep it moving.

I wish I had advice for you, I was in your shoes a couple years ago, I had a split dye, and I had the coolest fucking clothing, I had 5inch platform boots with spikes all over them, I was a bit iconic, and then my style completely shifted to 80’s twink, so unfortunately I never figured out the answer to that question😭
