Can we all just stop with that? It's just another way to label your consumer habits and nothing more.
Labels are for food.

Is it not more about how you have a shared interest with others and how you interact with others interested in the same things makes a culture developed around it?

Are you really surprised that a market was targeted with consumer products? What a senseless thing to agitate yourself with simply to feel superior to people you'll most likely never interact with.

Internet is worthless

It's funny that over a century ago people used to define themselves by their occupation, family, nation, or religion, but today people define themselves by who they fuck, how great their useless college degree is, and what TV shows they like to watch.

>>7 I agree with you, although looking backwards isn't the ideal solution.

For example family, nation and religion are arbitrary (and in the case of the last two, for at least some people falsehoods.) while occupation has been chipped away by economic circumstances (decline of manufacturing and move away from career-paths in the service sector [no more large scale "hired to stack shelves, now runs the store"] plus changes in interaction between the individual and the state chipping away at the notion of "public service")

So all you're left with is these petty, transient things to define yourself with. I kind of envy the people who can do that, when you mix my thought processes with overzealous use of anonymous boards, you soon find out you don't have any real identity at all.

>>7
Four things over which one has little to no choice, and indicate almost nothing as their character, vs how now they define themselves by things that actually reflect tastes, if nothing else? Minus the 'who they like to fuck,' that, and by extension 'what they jack off to' is just cancer, yeah.
People nowadays also define themselves by what communities or scenes they hang around, and political beliefs, which reflect serious influences on their character and ideological values.

Not that defining oneself by political beliefs is a good thing, but its bad because it makes you far less likely to come to anything resembling truth. As something to identify by, it at least indicates some kind of values or beliefs, even if using it makes them intellectually cancerous.
