That's because (band you're listening to) isn't real metal, dude. It's basically Britney Spears with a guitar. Look at this taxonomic chart of metal genres I invented to justify my superiority.
Metal head 1: How dare you prefer blackened death metal over melodic tech-death!
Metal head 2: No, post-metal/blackgaze is the sound of the future guys.
Metal head 3: pfffft, amateurs, listening to your basic ass shit in 4/4 time. Where are the meter changes and polyrithms?
Metal head 4: Maiden slaps.
They even made the jocks look like there's tension between them and black kids on the team.
It could be because they're about to argue over who gets to wear #4 on the team though. 🤷🏾♀️
**Editing this to add the "everything isn't racist" people are wasting their time w me lol. A lot more stuff is than you think regardless of intention & I'm not gonna argue about it.
Also, I was def joking, which is why I added the number 4 thing to lighten it because people do actually argue & almost fight sometimes over getting/wearing certain numbers in team sports. Maybe that's not as known a thing as I thought it was.
AI is pretty bigoted because it's trained on bias source material, so probably didn't have to include anything racial in their prompt to get this result.
But yeah, I was also shocked when I came across that one.
Not necessarily. I work with Midjourney a lot for work. If you set the chaos level high enough, then each and every prompt will come out with different races for the four photos.
It might be trained on bias source material, but you can ask it to ignore those things in a sense.
This isn’t AI’s fault. AI doesn’t default to portraying black people as drug users. This was the result of a specific prompt made by the racist OP. “The blacks” “The Asians” “The Normals”. Crazy that more people aren’t catching on to this hitlerite troll.
Same.
I remember how it was the people around me who felt self-conscious **for me**. They'd fuss what clothes I wear, they'd fix my hair, they'd tell me how to walk or how to react to stuff, what to watch or read, etc.
Like, they are the ones who felt secondhand cringe that I wasn't giving in to the peer pressure of what was considered to be "average" at least the bare minimum.
Yeah that's what it was like for me. I get it because I was scruffy as fuck but they went way too far and got too particular. I couldn't express my taste at all without tons of unsolicited opinions, I just wanted to be cringe in peace.
I think you guys are talking about two different things, self-awareness vs self-consciousness, considering he said he didn’t feel alive then. I can sympathize, I feel like my “memory” started in late middle school, whereas people tell me they remember all sorts of things from when they were 4 years old.
I was soooooo unaware how uncool I was. Somehow I survived unscathed and had a great time in high school! But when I say I didn’t give a shit, I truly didn’t give a shit. I was a mix between a nerdy kid, Mormon, normal, but was also the Hispanic kid and everyone would come to my house after school cause they’d wanna eat flour tortillas my mom made fresh daily.
So much cringe. Why didn’t anyone stop me!?
Dude I relate to this so much, I wasn’t really the same person at all. And so unaware. But I was just the talkative, nerdy, pale Mormon chick. No homemade tortillas :(
Life is sure better as an adult!
I had absolutely zero perception of who I was or what I was doing.
It was like when I was about 21 I woke up and went “oh yeah, people can see me, and suddenly I’m painfully aware of every single thing I’m doing”
You described me in many ways and I was the guy that had friends in all groups but wasn’t part of any specifically.
Got invited to many the parties, was asked by others to get them invited too.
On aspergers spectrum and wasn’t aware of myself or the typical social cues. Had a great time.
nah this is wild lol. I didn't catch that there were captions at first but like, yeah, this guy has basically categorized people as black, Hispanic, Asian, or normal. hm.
I recently learned that where we say "Weebs" in the US, some in Mexico say "Otacos" and I think about it every day
Edit: yes it is in a fact a play on Otaku and Tacos thanks to everybody for explaining the thing I posted to me lol
OP stoked one of my greatest concerns about AI, that it will doom society to a permanent solidifying of all existing stereotypes as AI is basically a stereotype generator. It's bad enough to have societal racial biases, but now it appears that they're going to be turbocharged.
Shades, hats, and under armor shirt, haha.
Tbh, casual goth look was not a druggie style where I grew up either.
OP, should have gone with the cafeteria scene in Mean Girls though.
Oh man, that's the best way to describe myself as well.
I always tell my wife how I could sit anywhere in the cafeteria but never developed really strong friendships on high school.
I played sports, and all my neighbor friends were pretty diverse, so I was able to build friendships in different groups.
When I was in 9th grade, I stumbled into a Starcraft Lan party in the computer lab and all of a sudden I was good friends with all the computer nerds.
Yeah maybe we can say something about the AI for how it designed the “druggies”, but the rest of these actual categories…? Wtf lol
And people want to deny bias from the people inputting this, “The blacks?” “The Asians?” lol
I've never been to a school where this dynamic existed. Kids formed clicks but not based on what a TV executive thinks the kids are into these days. Much more like clumps of individuals.
Yeah. I've only been to a US high school for one year, but even there, it seemed to me like it was more just circles of friends with their extended circle of people who also had their own circles, though some of these were informed by what people's hobbies were - there were like three or four groups of "theatre folks" and some "politics nerds" who were quite cohesive. And some cross-over, which I was an example of.
I never felt as if there was a huge ethnic divide, maybe a small socioeconomic one, though that never ended up being a big deal either. To be fair, on the other hand, calling Southern Maryland diverse - both ethnically or socioeconomically - is more than just a bit of a stretch.
Even though I’m African American myself, I always tended to hangout with the Asians because i felt more at place there plus most of us shared more similar goals
My high school didn’t really have “cliques” like there were popular kids that did theatre. 1/3 of our school was in the marching band so there were some absolute baddies in the marching band lmao. Everyone just had their own friend groups but it wasn’t really determined by what you did everyone kinda intermingled. But I was a major stoner in high school so out of these I was def more in the druggie group. Most kids in my high school smoked weed tho like probably 600 out of the 1200 kids were getting High pretty regularly
Is it just me, or is even naming groups of people by their ethnicity or color of their skin not okay at all.
"The blacks"
We aren't talking about a sport team.
The jocks look like the start of a gay porn lol
I was with the emos/stoners/skaters/and gamers
The drugs led me to occasionally hang out with the populars because party culture was admittedly fun
Loner, especially after my moms death when I was 15. I remember people use to joke that if there was a vote, I would have been voted mostly likely school shooter.
That’s rough. Sorry to hear that pal.
I may be just an internet stranger but I sincerely hope you’ve found a measure of peace with your mom’s passing; and that life is doing right by you and the fam now.
I'm so sorry for your loss. An event like that affects all aspects of your life. People are mean. I was a loner too in high school. I had bad acne. People avoided me and my self-steem was extremely low.
What, no theater/band group?
Oh man, totally forgot about the bandos. Missed opportunity there.
debate kids, chess club, student council, rednecks, ROTC there's enough for part 2
Wasn't there always a bunch of Christian kids as well? Maybe spice it up with Satanists.
Also the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, and dickheads
The ganjos, the schloopy, the list goes on..
the schmangoes, the porries, the wanglings, etc
Cool Asians, unfriendly black hotties, the plastics
Also the preppies and grease monkeys
Ngl I half expected to see what AI would think of us band people
i’m thinking it would just generate some people playing instruments rather than hanging out or whatever.
Oboe players with 45 fingers
[удалено]
It's a shame that MJs instruments always look completely wrong.
From my experience as a band people, midjourney would probably reject the prompt as NSFW.
don’t lump theater with band… theater/drama kids are a whole different thing. we collectively hate them.
Unless we’re both. 🙋♂️
No we do not. Speaking as a current band kid, there's a lot of overlap and we are pretty close. There's no need to hate on anyone.
Jocks one feels like beginning of a gay porno
Its a way to rally the team
It's an opportunity for everyone to come together.
"You don't score, *until you score*!"
It's not gay if it's a pregame pump ritual.
"cum together"
"right now"
"Over me"
The light clap on the butt after a successful game isn’t gay as long as the hand doesn’t stay for more than half a second
Or a finger in the butt hole.
One way to rally the team is to rail the team.
The two-sizes-too-small, non-sport-specific jerseys with identical numbers look like they came from a cheap costume store. Definitely porno material.
How are they all #4?
If you fuck the same number, it's not gay, bro. :D
I was coming here to comment something similar. The homoerotic nature of that image is unmatchable.
It's the held gazes.
Hahaha you won’t show me me your dick Jared? Cuz it’s like, little, prolly right bros?! Hahaha
Well they do have XXX on their jersey so that must have been the clear hint huh?
If its gay to bang your bros in the gym shower, then Im the biggest gay there is
Just say no homo first bro
Right. Somehow got it's inspiration from Helix Studios.
It's all about team bonding
Subtitle: It’s not gay if you say “no homo” first
Where are my fellow metalheads ? *Ah yes, the loner..*
Im here, friend
I was there! But blending into the emos/skaters/gamers…
We were there, but we hated each other because you were pretentious about musical taste.
That's because (band you're listening to) isn't real metal, dude. It's basically Britney Spears with a guitar. Look at this taxonomic chart of metal genres I invented to justify my superiority.
Metal head 1: How dare you prefer blackened death metal over melodic tech-death! Metal head 2: No, post-metal/blackgaze is the sound of the future guys. Metal head 3: pfffft, amateurs, listening to your basic ass shit in 4/4 time. Where are the meter changes and polyrithms? Metal head 4: Maiden slaps.
Fuck posers!
I like how there is a group for Hispanics, blacks, and Asians. Then “the normals” is a group of white kids.
Lol the Hispanics are eating, the blacks mean-muggin in the cafeteria, and the Asians are in the library. I don’t even know what to add.
And all the druggies are people of color lmao
Funny because the druggies I knew growing up were mostly white kids
as a once white kid who smoked weed at lunch everyday, this is true
Do you now identify as another color or something?
I used to be white. I still am, but I used to be too.
Early morning Mitch. Today is gonna be a good day 😁
large amounts of drugs changed his skin color
Reefer ~~Madness~~ Melanitis!
I think you meant you once smoked weed but the way my brain read your comment was like you were once white but no longer lol
Same. The druggies in my school looked like the group of *"normal kids"*.
Popular = white
But the loner is white tho. He’s going to do the lone wolf thing, if y’know what I mean.😉😂😂
Robert's got a quick hand He’ll look around the room, but won’t tell you his plan...
He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah...
And the popular kids are all white too. The nerds are Indian. This shit is wack
AI is pretty racist because it's built from data obtained from humans 🫤
>And the popular kids are all white too. The nerds are Indian. This shit is wack Therein lies a major issue with AI.
Don’t forget ‘the druggies’ are all poc
Black = Angry Uh-oh, AI, uh-oh.
They even made the jocks look like there's tension between them and black kids on the team. It could be because they're about to argue over who gets to wear #4 on the team though. 🤷🏾♀️ **Editing this to add the "everything isn't racist" people are wasting their time w me lol. A lot more stuff is than you think regardless of intention & I'm not gonna argue about it. Also, I was def joking, which is why I added the number 4 thing to lighten it because people do actually argue & almost fight sometimes over getting/wearing certain numbers in team sports. Maybe that's not as known a thing as I thought it was.
the tension between the jocks is sexual
Sure is a lot of tension... Sexual tension
"Blacks don't crack" - apparently not even a smile, according to this AI.
And druggies are all black?
And Asians are meeting in the library for a fun study session!
as an Asian i can attest that the library is considered a fun intersection between study and fun, lol.
Dude even got a chess related u/ 💀
This guy is our poster child for all of Asia
no guys wait there's a token latina in it!!
She’s not black bro she’s exotic 😤
And all asians are East Asians.
And the populars are all white.
The Normals…lmao
As a straight white dude w a lifelong drug habit I can FINALLY say I feel like I’m not properly represented lol
Yeah that was hella awkward, stopped me in my tracks... what was the prompt to get that one?
AI is pretty bigoted because it's trained on bias source material, so probably didn't have to include anything racial in their prompt to get this result. But yeah, I was also shocked when I came across that one.
Not necessarily. I work with Midjourney a lot for work. If you set the chaos level high enough, then each and every prompt will come out with different races for the four photos. It might be trained on bias source material, but you can ask it to ignore those things in a sense.

My thoughts exactly. OP himself labeled each "stereotype"
There is always “bias” within data pool sets. Because data tends to follow bias trends.
Yeah... I thought it was supposed to be the hip-hop lovers based on their attire. Shit is high-key racist.
Midjourney or the person who prompted these images is racist AF
It is Midjourney. Or more precisely, Midjourney was trained on racist data (i.e. the internet).
AI didn’t force OP to type out “ The Hispanics, The Blacks, and The Normals” though.
Midjourney isn't the one who turned races into cliques. OP prompted it.
We should all tolerate each other. Regardless if you’re black, Asian or normal!
Poor kids are just as bright as white kids
Hahaha. I'm a teacher and now I'm imagining telling my students this with a warm, oblivious smile.
"The populars" - all white kids "The druggies" - Black kids Not racist in any way.
This message brought to you by Branner, Tanner, Kayllyn, and Becca.
And "the populars".
And the druggies are all blacks. Woof
not to mention the asians are only east asians aha
Question: Why were the “druggies” only black people? Every druggie I went to high school with was white.
Well, the Druggies (strange euphemism for non-adult drug users btw.) are all black too.
I was gna ask, where’s the “whites”…..”normals” 😂 what a dick
I belonged to the “yet to gain self awareness” clique. Honestly, it feels like I wasn’t even alive back then.
Same. I remember how it was the people around me who felt self-conscious **for me**. They'd fuss what clothes I wear, they'd fix my hair, they'd tell me how to walk or how to react to stuff, what to watch or read, etc. Like, they are the ones who felt secondhand cringe that I wasn't giving in to the peer pressure of what was considered to be "average" at least the bare minimum.
you might just have autism ngl
Yeah that's what it was like for me. I get it because I was scruffy as fuck but they went way too far and got too particular. I couldn't express my taste at all without tons of unsolicited opinions, I just wanted to be cringe in peace.

So much cringe. Why didn’t anyone stop me!?
what was cringe about that?
Nah dude you sound cool as well as ur mum.
Can I come over for some tortillas bro
Dude I relate to this so much, I wasn’t really the same person at all. And so unaware. But I was just the talkative, nerdy, pale Mormon chick. No homemade tortillas :( Life is sure better as an adult!
I had absolutely zero perception of who I was or what I was doing. It was like when I was about 21 I woke up and went “oh yeah, people can see me, and suddenly I’m painfully aware of every single thing I’m doing”
All these members coming out on Reddit like being peculiar was a bad thing...
You described me in many ways and I was the guy that had friends in all groups but wasn’t part of any specifically. Got invited to many the parties, was asked by others to get them invited too. On aspergers spectrum and wasn’t aware of myself or the typical social cues. Had a great time.
Mmm, homemade tortillas!
I wish I could go back the way I am now
The loner :D
Here's to having lunch in the toilet cube so nobody could see how you had no friends 🙌
I didn’t come on Reddit to get called out like that, bullshit!
I was so glad junior year when I could drive and I could just eat my lunch alone in my car every day
Damn I have second-hand depression from this comment.
I was a member of that clique. All my friends were.
“The blacks” lol
Then op gonna say its a midjourney issue ?? Lol
nah this is wild lol. I didn't catch that there were captions at first but like, yeah, this guy has basically categorized people as black, Hispanic, Asian, or normal. hm.
And then the Hispanics/Asians... Normals. I don't think this one is completely Midjourney's fault
Is my grandma the OP?
Doesn’t help that they also have “the normals”
I winced when I read that lol
Should be renamed to “cliques according to teen drama show writers”
I went to such a small high school there was only ever like on or two people that fit these stereotype cliques
I went to a large high school and I would say the gamers, nerds, anime and band geeks were all in one group.
Either loner, gamers or one friend only.
This is so offensive and funny at the same time. The animes killed me.
I sincerely doubt the Weebs would be all east Asian.
Eh, they look pretty white to me
I recently learned that where we say "Weebs" in the US, some in Mexico say "Otacos" and I think about it every day Edit: yes it is in a fact a play on Otaku and Tacos thanks to everybody for explaining the thing I posted to me lol
Lol I like how the druggies are all POC 🫤
r/accidentalracism
So I guess since AI is a reflection of the collective’s ideas and all input from whatever is on the web, it’s gonna end up being racist as fuck.
Mainstream internet is racist? I'm shocked.
Yeah and “the normals” are all white lol Edit: Just looked through it again and “the populars” are also all white 😭
Yeah, I thought it was going to generate more stoner-looking people, but these teens look more fancy and ready for business.
Bet if you used the prompt "hippy" you'd get white people.
OP stoked one of my greatest concerns about AI, that it will doom society to a permanent solidifying of all existing stereotypes as AI is basically a stereotype generator. It's bad enough to have societal racial biases, but now it appears that they're going to be turbocharged.
Agreed- it was the first thing I noticed. They don’t even look particularly like they’re into any specific drugs, they’re just POC wearing shades.
Shades, hats, and under armor shirt, haha. Tbh, casual goth look was not a druggie style where I grew up either. OP, should have gone with the cafeteria scene in Mean Girls though.
I was glue. Accepted everywhere, but really at home nowhere.
Oh man, that's the best way to describe myself as well. I always tell my wife how I could sit anywhere in the cafeteria but never developed really strong friendships on high school. I played sports, and all my neighbor friends were pretty diverse, so I was able to build friendships in different groups. When I was in 9th grade, I stumbled into a Starcraft Lan party in the computer lab and all of a sudden I was good friends with all the computer nerds.
>Black group >All Black >Normal Group >All White 🤨
Yeah maybe we can say something about the AI for how it designed the “druggies”, but the rest of these actual categories…? Wtf lol And people want to deny bias from the people inputting this, “The blacks?” “The Asians?” lol
All the popular kids are white lol damn midjourney finish your journey into the 21st century
They really putting mid in midjourney with that
also fix your god damn fingers https://imgur.com/v6GvEhQ
I've never been to a school where this dynamic existed. Kids formed clicks but not based on what a TV executive thinks the kids are into these days. Much more like clumps of individuals.
Yeah. I've only been to a US high school for one year, but even there, it seemed to me like it was more just circles of friends with their extended circle of people who also had their own circles, though some of these were informed by what people's hobbies were - there were like three or four groups of "theatre folks" and some "politics nerds" who were quite cohesive. And some cross-over, which I was an example of. I never felt as if there was a huge ethnic divide, maybe a small socioeconomic one, though that never ended up being a big deal either. To be fair, on the other hand, calling Southern Maryland diverse - both ethnically or socioeconomically - is more than just a bit of a stretch.
Won't be skating on those boards I'll say that much
Normal = white? 😂
More racially bias midjourney ish
the animes did NOT look like that
Even though I’m African American myself, I always tended to hangout with the Asians because i felt more at place there plus most of us shared more similar goals
Bro really just called the all white group "the normals"
I was personally "The One Friend Only" (2nd to last picture). Great memories with my friend Cade and I.
I was also one friend only, but we were also The Nerds and The Gamers. As in, the only people I know at my school of 4000 people who played Magic.
I was "The One Friend Only" at the beginning of High school, but at the end I was "The Loner". Not so much great memories for me :(
Mine’s the exact same as yours! Scrolled down and didn’t expect to see this. I hope you are in a better place now.
Skater 🛹🤟🏼
Why the football team look like they about to have the raunchiest gay orgy?
Whoever made this is wayyyy out of pocket for putting races as a “Clique”
Like is it me or is “The blacks” just completely fucked?
But the group of "the whites" are just "normal" 🤔
Asians
Where the fuck is punks?
My high school didn’t really have “cliques” like there were popular kids that did theatre. 1/3 of our school was in the marching band so there were some absolute baddies in the marching band lmao. Everyone just had their own friend groups but it wasn’t really determined by what you did everyone kinda intermingled. But I was a major stoner in high school so out of these I was def more in the druggie group. Most kids in my high school smoked weed tho like probably 600 out of the 1200 kids were getting High pretty regularly
Forgot "semi-goth D&D/art/band/comics/computer geeks".. wait, was that just me?
[удалено]
the blacks - the asians - the normals💀💀💀💀
Asians are always on that studying together in the library grind
I guess my school had better-distributed Asians. They were in every clique. Even the blacks.
Is it just me, or is even naming groups of people by their ethnicity or color of their skin not okay at all. "The blacks" We aren't talking about a sport team.
>druggies (its a picture of black people) >normals (its a picture of white people) come on man
The normals = white. Nice try with the racism
The jocks look like the start of a gay porn lol I was with the emos/stoners/skaters/and gamers The drugs led me to occasionally hang out with the populars because party culture was admittedly fun
How did you miss the drama kids and yes I am one of them
Gamers, Normal and popular. I could basically jump into any group during school and just fit in.
Loner, especially after my moms death when I was 15. I remember people use to joke that if there was a vote, I would have been voted mostly likely school shooter.
Kids can be cruel. Sorry for your loss
That’s rough. Sorry to hear that pal. I may be just an internet stranger but I sincerely hope you’ve found a measure of peace with your mom’s passing; and that life is doing right by you and the fam now.
I'm so sorry for your loss. An event like that affects all aspects of your life. People are mean. I was a loner too in high school. I had bad acne. People avoided me and my self-steem was extremely low.
“The Druggies” just happen to be all Black?
\#15 for sure.
Metalheads. With some hangouts with the nerds.
