I have a thought on this, in a general label sense. It's backlash against the fact that people label, people always label, and when you can't escape being labeled all the time you start going "Fine, if I get a label, EVERYONE gets a label."

I'm a Transgender Person? Fine, you don't get to be (Normal) Person, you get to be Cisgender Person. If I'm Black Person? You're White Person. I'm Homosexual Person? You're Heterosexual Person. I'm a Woman Person, you're a Man Person.

And you get people whining that they don't waaaant to be Cisgender White Heterosexual Man Person. They're fine with person, can't you just call them Normal Person? What's with all the labels?

Except they still want all the labels to apply to all those Other Persons. Or the labels can't help but apply to all the Other Persons. Raising your Person to be colorblind won't do a damn thing to help them if they try to insist they're a Person and society still treats them as a Black Person. They're stuck with that label, forever.

And no matter how much people insist, you're still going to pick up labels. People will categorize you and make assumptions and treat you differently based on height, weight, hair color, clothing, typing style, language, a thousand different things. What's so wrong about doing it to yourself? At least you get to chose it then.

I can understand that a lot of people use labels in this way. I could even see that this is how to trend to over-label everything began.

However, a significant proportion of people -- especially younger people -- are using them in a divisive way, and to emphasize their special snowflake status because hey, they've decided they have all these labels so they're like some kind of unique serial number... until they're the exact same serial number as hundreds of other kids doing the exact same thing.

Is it new though? I mean in my high school everyone went on and on about how they were special and unique like everyone else.

I mean I went though a maybe-I-want-to-be-goth phase and there were a zillion different labels for exactly what kind of goth you were based on music, clothes, makeup, hair color, activities, and so on. I don't really think it's some brand new thing Tumblr invented.
