SNCA:E-kid
E-Kids, also known as iPad babies, are precisely children who, as a result of their limited interactions from their parents typically due to work or business, placate their psychological need for entertainment and socialization via the compulsive use of the internet.
E-kids possess a state of flamboyancy, ostentation, sexual vulgarity and deafened impulse control. Mental characteristics include; depression, attention-deficit disorders, autism and intermittent anger-issues. Among male E-kids; they are distinctly impressionable and sensitive as a result of a distinct lack of testosterone and virility. This highlights an underlying physiological ramification of use of the internet over physical activities such as exercises that facilitate direct and true socialization with peers. Their capacity of thought is directly proportional to the memetic structures bound onto the internet, which may cause cognitive defects to emerge.
Tying it to a socio-economic fashion, this is a subculture that invariably manifested over capitalistic structures. Capitalism, in part, proliferates when the masses are entirely obliged to work, and in part are incapable of retaining solidarity or having the necessary traditional convictions to reject measures to subdue them. The parents of E-kids are submerged in working or in their own part entertainment which acts as a constraint for the parents to instill discipline or regimen onto children. As a result, hyperconsumerism is a predominant facet of the E-kid subculture. Additionally, these spaces are addled with pornography and hotspots for pedophiles.
Niches include; Online spaces and communities on TikTok, Twitter, Discord, or Reddit. In these niches, heteronormativity is scarce, with tenets rooted in LGBTQ+ civil discourse appearing as a characteristic in these spaces. Recently, E-kids have been embracing transgenderism, a process where one identifies and tries to emulate the physical and cultural characteristics of a particular gender that is deviant to the one assigned at birth.
