What happened to the boys who killed Matt?

I also thought about this question two days ago:

A few days ago, Yang accidentally spilled some flour on his head. Everyone joked that you were a "Matt Killer"! Then Yang suddenly remembered that it began to develop after 1980. What happened to the killing Matt family that grew after 1990? Why didn't you find that killing Matt continued to exist after 00?

So Yang, as a scholar, thought deeply about this issue and consulted a lot of materials. Now let me explain in detail the ins and outs of killing Matt!

Origin of killing substances:

The word "killing Matt" comes from the English word smart, which can be translated into fashion. Smart. Most of the original killers have colorful long hair and heavy makeup; Wear some very personal clothes and strange jewelry; I like to take selfies in internet cafes and do some strange actions in front of the camera; Self-proclaimed: a group integrating fashion, vision and killing Matt.

Actually, killing Matt spread from Japan to China, so the original killing Matt was also called the representative of "brain-dead".

At that time, many post-80s and post-90s people liked this kind of dress to show their uniqueness. Nowadays, killing Matt has become a rural boy and girl in the urban-rural fringe, or a new generation of migrant workers working in cities! To some extent, it also shows that the social class is solidified now.

Do you hate killing Matt?

When killing Matt first appeared, it triggered a big discussion among netizens. Many people hold a negative attitude, which does not meet the aesthetic standards of the public. At the same time, they were labeled as "brain-dead", "uneducated" and "terrapin".

In fact, these people who killed Matt are not what everyone imagined. On the contrary, they are a group of vulnerable groups. They are one of thousands of urban immigrants from unknown villages and towns all over China. Most of these men and women are around 20 years old, usually with only secondary education and almost no livelihood skills. They work in low-paying jobs in big cities, such as hairdressers, security guards, couriers or waiters.

These children are often very simple. Although they have no money, they also yearn for individuality and pursue freedom. Meet those sophisticated shops, do hair, sell shiny clothes and sell beautiful accessories. These low-income groups are inferior in their bones and often express their values in this way.

Yang Feng Jiao knows Matt, and he respects me very much. He thinks Yang is a learned man. He questioned the general manager of my university campus and hoped that he could live a good life through hard work, although Yang wanted to tell them many times that clothes and hairstyles should not be so strange. But every time I see their sincere eyes, I see that they are more satisfied in their own world, and they are not discouraged by their hard work attitude.

Is killing Matt a diaosi?

Some people may think that killing Matt is a diaosi, but this metaphor is wrong. Many people who call themselves diaosi are actually highly educated people. Although they all belong to the bottom of the city, the growth space is different.

People who call themselves diaosi will never admit that they killed Matt, and killing Matt is not worthy of the word diaosi. To some extent, diaosi's social status is higher than killing Matt.

Killing Matt belongs to the new generation of migrant workers. They are no longer in rags, honest and untidy, and so on. In exchange for clean and strange clothes. I am no longer willing to go to the construction site or production line, but rather to do decent work, even if the salary is lower. In essence, they still want to integrate into society and improve their social status as much as possible.

The most essential difference is that diaosi is installed at the bottom and killing Matt is installed at the top!

Why does it seem that this culture is dying out now?

First of all, this can't be called culture, it's just a phenomenon, what happened around people at that time! There are many people who kill Matt now, but they are not the first batch! In fact, the earliest people were more like hooligans and looked cool. Now, with the gradual aesthetic fatigue of the public, they have accepted this kind of dressing, and more and more ordinary people are also dressing up!

Why does it seem that there are very few after 00?

Killing Matt was first popular in schools. A group of students who are not good at learning are essentially inferior to learning. In order to attract attention, to be different, and to save a little self-esteem, they often turn to kill Matt. Some good students don't want to be with them, which also leads them to form small teams to keep warm!

Yang concluded that the reason for this problem is that the earliest post-00 students just started to walk out of the campus, and most of them still belong to the stage of relying on their parents for blood supply. First of all, it is absolutely impossible for parents to understand this culture. In addition, there are many ways to attract attention, the most common one: playing games is broken! It can also attract attention, instead of showing your value with absolute visual impact!

So to some extent, different times have different outlook on life and values, what's more, they are still young and have not yet reached their own maverick, which has caused the death of the Matt family as if there were no successors!
