With what I've seen of the US, I can see why many people over there would unironically hate cars. Car-centric planning has all but ruined the walkability of most US cities to the point of making it almost obligatory to own a car.

Come over to Europe and you'll be able to see the difference that planning has had clear as day.

Communities here are largely influenced and based on already existing communities on Reddit. I was subscribed to r/fuckcars there until I dropped reddit completely, but they have a pretty straightforward page explaining their beliefs and opinions about cars and replacing them with various different more efficient transportation methods.

Secondly… Your comment wasn’t hated, so I don’t know where those “angry car haters” come from.

No one actually thinks that you can replace cars entirely, but making more space FOR PEOPLE on the streets and making public transportation more comfortable and more affordable - is only a positive.

To be fair: The scene was much smaller back then and many emo kids were basically scorned and beaten for the emo aesthetic.

The Millenials laughing at Gen Z are the same Millenials who mocked emo/scene kids back then.
