If I guess correctly, you still have half a catty of cement in your pocket.

"If I guess correctly, you have half a catty of cement in your pocket" originated from the rise of non-mainstream in 2009. Some rebellious young people, mainly born after 1990s, came to the entrance of the village with half a pack of cement in the shape of killing Matt, scattered cement powder on the road and danced on it.

In 2009, non-mainstream set off a trend among young people. Many young people have unusual hairstyles, wearing ripped pants and bean shoes and wearing strange clothes. Walking in the street makes many people look askance. They often make some strange moves, such as spontaneously gathering unrelated people to form a "family", making strange moves in the street wearing strange clothes and dancing on the concrete floor.

The reason for killing Matt:

The unusual fashion choice of "killing Matt" reflects that the deeper reason is the sense of collective alienation, which is a by-product of China's immigration tide and the country's expanding class division. People don't think that the fashion sense of "killing Matt" is avant-garde or fashionable, but that it is cheap and tacky, which represents the embarrassing life of this marginalized group in China from the clothing.

The trend of "killing Matt" is said to have started from 1999, which is a one-sided imitation of some Japanese young people's unconventional clothes. China respects tradition and attaches great importance to education, but young urban migrants are unlikely to be supervised by their parents or supported by the community to get rid of the lower classes. This is part of the reason why young professionals and educated elites in China mercilessly mocked "killing Matt".

The phenomenon of "killing Matt" has developed so rapidly that its boundaries are blurred. For many amateur observers, it is difficult to accurately distinguish between the real "killing Matt" and the hair dye courier-they are both called "killing Matt" because they are young immigrants and are in a lower position on the social ladder.
