Larpercore

Note: This page is about the edgy online aesthetic and subculture described as "LARPers". It's not meant to be confused with true Live Action Role-Playing, which is a hobby that doesn't involve harming anyone.
Larpercore (stylized as LARPercore) is a very dark aesthetic that originated in various underground communities from Discord and TikTok. The term LARP in its original context refers to Live Action Role-Playing, which is a common harmless hobby, although in social media platforms it has been recently adopted as a slang word to describe anyone who acts "too edgy" on the internet for their own goodLarper on Urban Dictionary. Sometimes, it may also refer to someone who pretends to be something they are not, and in this case, the followers of the Larpercore aesthetic are often young and pretend to be part of the Military, or in extreme cases, attempt to support extremist political movements like Nazism or Pro-Putin (Z) without being fully aware of their principles and historical harm
The aesthetic is first and foremost defined by the attitude of the community, and secondly by the extremely edgy aesthetics that are prevalent in these online circles. On social media, the followers of this aesthetic often form part of specific communities that portray themselves as "clans" or even "cults" in extreme cases. They typically present themselves online by using initials in their usernames (for example: , or ), which they call "clan tags" and indicate what group they belong to. Along with that, they also use rare unicode characters or putting "titles" that mimick the royalty on their usernames to show everyone how many times they've been banned from the platform (for example, someone with "the 13th" on their username or user biography would indicate that they have been banned 12 times). The users also have their own terminology which may confuse people who are not associated with the community.
==History==
===Early Examples and Origins===
These type of underground communities operating on social media for malicious purposes can be traced back to various early examples, such as the "Cartoon Police Groups" which were involved in harassment campaigns against the GoAnimate or Vyond fandom since the early 2010sCartoon Police Groups on goanimate.fandom.com. These groups still exist today and are actually some of the most active inside the Larpercore community, such as UTubeTrollPolice, VideoGameCartoonPolice, ZenesantTrollPolice, Anti-UTubeTrollPolice, KuKluxTrollKlan and so much more alike groups. All of the previous examples can be recognized for using a police man stock art character created in 2005 as their main collective symbol; which can be found in Wikimedia Commons under the name "Police man Ganson". The groups can also be noted for ironically pretending to "arrest" trolls on the internet although they are trolls themselves. Most of the persons they label as "trolls" are actually fans of certain media and members of some youth subcultures. Essentially, they are Live Action Role-Playing online wars against these fandoms they personally dislike. The members of these groups often engage in actions such as using a very particular set of slang and phrases (like "FRIES R UP" or "FIRST WARNING TROLL"), calling themselves "officers" and worshipping Tommy Parky (also known as Thomas Parkinson or southparkstudiosable), the alleged creator and leader of UTubeTrollPolice who used to post clickbait videos, harassed people online and even doxxed an innocent person"I found this whole community a while ago, UTTP, this "Tommy Parky" seems to be like a leader of sorts, after months of research I still have no idea what's going on." on r/DeepIntoYoutube (Reddit). He founded the "UTTP" group in February 13th 2011, and since then it gained notoriety within the GoAnimate community and multiple spin-offs and copycat communities of the group were formed.
Some of the other Larpercore communities claim to have "existed" since 2016 or 2018, although there's almost no reliable evidence to confirm that, especially given the fact that these were the first years of Discord existing as a platform. There seems to be a lot of rumors surrounding its origins (because some members lie about their groups in order to appear more "mysterious" or "old gen"), and chances are most of them are friend groups that later evolved into larger cyberbullying communities. Therefore, the modern aesthetic itself appears to have originated in March 2020, overlapping with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in most countries. It likely formed when some individuals sharing common interests grouped with each other through websites like Discord, 4chan and YouTube. An internet troll who goes by the username of "Anwir Prota" is often thought to be the one of the first users who engaged in nuking Discord servers from 2017 to 2021Anwir Prota on Orangist Wiki (Fandom), as well as other actions today associated with the Larpercore community like cyberharassment, ban evasion, doxxing, heavily vandalizing wiki sites and several other examples of "trolling".
The slang term used to describe this community phenomenon with the main purpose of engaging in cyberbullying and dark aesthetics might vary by language. The most used one in English is "LARPer", which in its original context refers to Live Action Role-Players; people who dress up in costumes and role-play in real life. This term was most likely picked because it references how people participating in the Larpercore aesthetic act as if they were part of the military on the internet. Please note that this page uses the term "Larpercore" (a combination of the words "LARPer" and "Hardcore") and not simply "LARPer" to further maintain the distinction between this online phenomenon and real Live Action Role-Playing. Another term that has been used to describe these communities based upon cyberbullying is "Alphabet Groups" or "Alphabet Soup Groups""Alphabet Soup Groups" on Urban DictionaryAlphabet Soup (Linguistics) on Wikipedia, referencing the acronyms they use on their usernames in order to indicate what group they belong to and identify other members on social media. In the Spanish language, it seems like the most used term that describes this online subculture is "Edgy""Que es un edgy o ser edgy?" on Reddit (in Spanish) (taken from the same English word).
Furthermore, the FBI also published an official article comparing this online phenomenom with true Live Action Role-Play"LARPing and Violent Extremism" on leb.gbi.gov, which are very distinct for a reason. It can be found here.
===Infamous Examples & Controversies===
The most well-known individuals who started the uprising of this hatred were Lisa Gaming ROBLOX, Meowbahh, JellyBean, Chris Chan, That Vegan Teacher, Andrew Tate and alt-right influencers such as G*psy Crusader and Brenton Tarrant. Content creators like Lisa Gaming ROBLOX and Meowbahh in particular were actually trolls the entire time, and through their rage-inducing videos, they managed to gain mainstream attention. A lot of Larpercore groups were involved in attempted harrassment campaigns against these accounts, not understanding that they were meant to enrage people like them. Apart from these persons, Larpercore users also enjoy mocking real-life tragedies and the deaths of real persons. Such examples of insensitive remarks were first noted around 2020 and possibly earlier, particularly with the increasing relevance of the Black Lives Matter movement in the political landscape of the United States (which, as implied, doesn't align with the values of the Larpercore aesthetic).
The first major events caused by the Larpercore communities were "Operation Pridefall" and "Project Gachafall". Pridefall was started by an anonymous user on the /int/ board of 4chan and was set to happen during all of June 2020, and the goal of this raid was to harm the reputation of the LGBT+ community, harass people who identify as any of its identities, and boycotting corporations that support PrideOperation Pridefall on Know Your Meme. However, it was never completely clear if Pridefall was created as a genuine raid or if it was simply a troll cyberharassment campaign, but still, it gained significant attention beyond 4chan and was widely reported by the media at the time. Some say the creator of Pridefall was arrested, although it's unknown if this is a rumor or true. Meanwhile, Gachafall was a campaign inspired by Pridefall that specifically targeted the Gacha Life fandom and started on July 2020. Gachafall was first started on a "bait" Discord server that attempted to further boost the bad reputation of the Gacha community and various groups were involved in the phenomenon, including Funwaa Cult (FC), UTubeTrollPolice (UTTP), Anti-Gacha Soldiers (AGS), KuKluxTrollKlan (KKTK), Anti-Fandom Front (AFF), Anti-Gacha Life Council (AGLC), Screamer Gang (SCG), Chaos Gang (CG) and so much more. The members of these groups were active on various social media sites and Gachafall gained significant attention when a copypasta about the raid was spread around all over Discord (with the most famous screenshot being one sent by an user called "Jinzo", a member of the Funwaa Cult group), or when an anonymous user made a post on 4chan /pol/ hashtaged as "#CutForGacha"On Project Gachafall on Reddit. In July 2020, when the Project Gachafall came into action, multiple notorious Gachatubers were hacked and even doxxed, such as ブリトーMB, Pastellioz, KoffeeToffee, SpazzyClown, and various others. Discord servers related to Gacha Life were also "nuked" and heavily raided, and some of it escalated into severe harassment. However, it's important to note that not all participants of the Gachafall phenomenon were bad people, some of them wanted to point out mistakes that Lucas "Luni" Lee, the creator of the Gacha series and founder of the Lunime company, commited, and other issues found on his games"My Problems With Luni: Why He's a Bad Developer" by GalaxyIsOk on YouTube"Luni Exposed Full Video: Predator Evidence, Stolen Characters, Traced Art and more" by GachaFall on YouTubeWhy I don’t support Luni (Part 1) by ok cool on YouTube. Despite Gachafall starting in July 2020, the campaign didn't stop in August. Realistically, it continued all the way into 2022 or so, as these Larpercore groups kept targeting the fanbase or hacking their YouTube channels. Nowadays the Gacha fandom sometimes still gets targeted by them, although ever since the series have declined in relevance.
The Foodists (also known as the "Malagasy Clay Eaters" or "The Homophobe Army") in particular are a Larpercore group whose leader is Foodistzen, a terminated YouTuber and internet troll known for posting extremely controversial content with homophobic, racist and antisemitic remarks. They have been involved in several controversies, doxxing incidents and even allegedly, p*dophilia. In October 9, 2022, they created a website called "clay.party", which lasted only four months and twenty-six days. Despite the forum's short-lived run and mid amount of dedicated members, its impact was significant and it quickly gained a bad reputation for hosting shock content (such as gore, mass-shooting videos and pictures of people engaging in self-harmTweet by @DumbFoxFurry on Twitter), posting the information of innocent people who got doxxedClay Party on Urban Dictionary, and so much more. Nowadays the website has been shutdown, but its members are still around and they engage in actions such as mentioning "Abdul", wearing "Foodist" on their usernames as a clan tag, using the faces of doxxed persons as their profile picturesMember List of Clay Party on Internet Archive, and mocking deceased individuals and celebrities in order to shock. The Foodists pushed the boundaries of illegality inside the Larpercore community by actions such as SWATting innocent people, forcing an underage girl to carve the username of a Foodist member in her arm, and even mailing a rope, a bible and razor blades to an individual they doxxed. KY5, a terminated YouTuber and internet troll associated with the group, even boasted about getting an underage member of the r/GachaUnity subreddit "killed"KY5's YouTube Channel in 2020 (Internet Archive); and unfortunately, it was confirmed to be true by their friends but the user will not be mentioned for respect. Given the fact they are a really controversial group, they are hated by many other Larpercore groups and they even have a rivalry against websites such as "Kiwi Farms". Because of this, they have often been described as "terminally online teenagers with sociopathic tendencies" by other internet users.
In February 2023, two teenagers (a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old) were detained and investigated in Singapore after they became self-radicalized on the online game ROBLOX throughout 2021 and 2022, becoming the youngest people to be arrested for political extremism in the city. The latter quickly escalated into a real problem because they gained online contact with actual Islamist terrorists and they could've potentially got involved in terrorist activities being carried out in the country"2 teens dealt with under ISA: Boy, 15, is youngest detainee to date, another 16-year-old radicalised through gaming platform" on todayonline.com. The investigation of those two Singaporean teens and their online activity revealed that their parents and family members weren't aware of their radical political views at all, and both were part of a Discord server entirely dedicated to showing off Islamist propaganda. One of the teenagers fantasized about "murdering non-muslim people in touristic places", and was found to have made an Islamic State "propaganda" video on ROBLOX, which used the Larpercore aesthetic and reenacted incidents such as executions.
The 764 group was created in January 2021 by Bradley Cadenhead, better known by his online pseudonym "Brad764" or "Felix", as a response to another equally bad group called CVLT, which focuses on sextortion. Bradley was only a 15-year-old teenager from Erath County (Texas) when he founded such a messed up online group, and he had been fascinated with gore videos and death since he was 10 years old. He built the community with one of his Minecraft friends and also took inspiration from the internet culture of some 4chan boards like /r9k/. He also described himself as a "cult leader", and he was ultimately given a 80 year prison sentence for possessing CSAM and child torture videos"Wondering about that 80-year sentence given to an Erath County teen? Here’s what you didn’t know." on beneaththesurfacenews.com. In September 2023, the Federal Bureau of Investigation warned parents and internet users in the United States about certain Larpercore groups that have been involved in extremely illegal and sickening actions, explicitely mentioning extremist communities like Com, 764, 676, CVLT, Court, Kaskar, Harm Nation, Leak Society, and H3ll"Violent Online Groups Extort Minors to Self-Harm and Produce Child Sexual Abuse Material", public warning by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (of which some might correspond to the same group using different aliases in order to not get tracked down). According to the FBI's research, these groups especially target minors aged between 8 and 17-years-old, and those who struggled with suicidal ideation, belonged to a minoritary racial category or ethnic group, suffered a mental disorder or disability, or identified as part of the LGBT+ community were at higher risk of getting attacked. They have also suggested that these groups are most likely tied to the Order of Nine Angles (ONA/O9A)"L'Ordre des Neuf Angles : le groupuscule qui œuvre pour la fin du monde" on ladn.eu (in French), which is a Satanist & Neo-Nazi political movement that dates back to the 1970s in the United Kingdom. Those groups were brought to the attention of the FBI in 2021 when Angel Almeida, a 23-year-old member of the 764 group, was arrested in Queens for possessing firearms as a previous convincted felon"A 23-year-old was arrested for gun possession. It led the FBI to a global Satanic cult" on The Guardian"Inside sick neo-Nazi paedo cult where recruits have to film extreme violence to join" on dailystar.co.uk. When they investigated Almeida's online activity, they soon figured out he was related to these violent extremist online communities, and pictures of him wearing odd clothing (like skull face masks, shirts with phrases that encourage crude humor and Satanist flags) were found. He also expressed that he was interested in abusing children, and furthermore, he was charged with possession of CSAM in 2023. During the investigation, one of his close friends indicated that he was never aware that Almeida was a Satanist or a Neo-Nazi, and that he simply saw him as a "stupid kid""Once More, There Is No Global Satanic Cult" on skepticalinquirer.org. Comparing this incident with other Larpercore-related stories, this suggests that most of the users engaged in this online subculture keep their hateful ideologies and harmful online activities secret in real life.
Another Harm Nation/764 member who reached infamy for commiting cyberabuse is Beaujack Mensforth, better known by his online pseudonym "Yuri", a British teenager from Sunderland who LARPed as a criminal/hacker online although in reality he was just targeting whoever he saw as "weak" in order to spread his ideology of hating the worldVideo by @deadtube420 on TikTok. He especially bragged about extorting approximately 40 girls into commiting self-harm and even manipulating minors into abusing and killing their own pets over the internet. As a consequence, his personal information was eventually leaked to the public by the Doxbin community in October 2023 to encourage him to rethink his choices. Because of this noticeable aspect focusing on spreading politically-motivated fear, the FBI officially recognizes every 764-affiliated Larpercore community as cyberterrorist organizations764 on Hate Symbol Database. Furthermore, one of the most endorsed philosophies within these online networks is accelerationism (a political ideology inside both the far-left and far-right political spectrum with minor variations; which asserts the belief that western Capitalist societies are doomed to "collapse" and therefore the process should be "accelerated" to impose a new system). In this case, 764 and its offshoots such as "Cultist" believe that the process of "collapsing society" should be accelerated via desentizing minors to violence, cyberabusing them or potentially traumatizing them. Since then, various other members of these "Com"-affiliated groups have been arrested. Due to the disturbing reality of these events, see the Order of Nine Angles page on Wikipedia for more information on other 764 members who have been arrested and why.
Since late 2022, TikTok became a new playing ground for Larpercorists, who originally hated the platform. This is likely because TikTok has a really poor moderation towards politically motivated content, and they developed hateful catchphrases such as "Gnome Hunting", "Save Europe", etc. Sometimes they also post "propaganda" on TikTok in the form of aesthetic edits, similar to most Politicalwave aesthetics. This practice has long been criticized because these videos are primarily being watched by young and impressionable people.
In early 2024, some Larpercore communities such as UTubeTrollPolice (UTTP) and YouTubeFarmGangArmy (YFGA) have regained significant attention on social media again because they're currently involved in on-going controversies surrounding the Murder Drones fandom and certain YouTubers such as DannoDraws and Parlo. They have also been noted for spamming comment sections on YouTube Shorts/TikTok, and vandalizing pages on Fandom that potentially expose their harmful behavior online to the public.
== Communities ==
The types of communities within Larpercore vary depending on the platform. On YouTube, you may find more Anti-Gacha communities"My Thoughts On The Anti-Gacha Community" by GalaxyIsOk on YouTube compared to TikTok where Anti-Furry communities are more rampant. However, they all come together on the same platform, Discord. As pictured, sometimes they create "recruitment" servers which almost always get abandoned or banned in order to gather up more people to commit their malicious actions.
As implied, it's worth noting that the Larpercore community is fragmented but connected. Since the users affiliate themselves with different communities, which they personally call "clans" or even "cults", there are various groups that don't like each other or "compete" over which one is better, while some of them might consider themselves "close allies". Yet, despite this hair-splitting inside the community, all of them seem to share the same type of crude humor and emphasis on cyberbullying, and most of them share similar aesthetics involving anything dark or references to the military/political undertones. Additionally, most Larpercore clans will add definitions of their groups in Urban Dictionary, most likely in order to "encourage" new members to join.
On Discord, there are a lot of communities based around this concept and their servers typically get taken down easily and are easy to find through Disboard tags such as "anti", "raid", or most commonly, "LARP". The level of edginess found in the groups largely varies: some of them might just enjoy cyberbullying teenagers because of their hobbies or interests (which is the case of most Anti-Furry groups), while other groups such as AFF or the UTTP might go too far and dox children or hack YouTube channels and Discord accounts. However, the most extreme groups, such as The Foodists, Slitbunnies, TSUKI Project"The Obscure 4chan Religion That Promises a Cyberpunk Afterlife" on VICE and 764"The Dark Side of Discord: Exposing Group 764" on Troomi.com have engaged in more extreme and illegal behavior, including but not limited to extorting minors for nudes or self-harm pictures, manipulating mentally vulnerable teenagers into taking their own livesTSUKI Project on everybodywiki.com, and SWATting the families of disabled children. This has led to many of the members being arrested or placed under surveillance by the authorities"The Dark Side Of Discord | They Persuaded Him To Set Himself On Fire" by Disturbed Reality on YouTube, and some have described them as "suicide cults" since they have actually harmed people mentally and physically. These extremist groups often get wider media coverage and sometimes they might be investigated by the law, and spreading awareness about these groups is key to put an end to their malicious actions.
On a side note, interacting with these Larpercore groups poses a limited threat when the members don't know someone's personal information (which is often used to threaten or extort someone) or manage to manipulate them. Safety measures would include not disclosing any personal details to them and avoiding sketchy downloads or clicking on links they send such as IP grabbers. A large amount of Larpercore users pretend to be hackers, although this isn't really true in most cases. They mainly rely on simple manipulation methods such as social engineering, extortion, threats, cyberstalking, online impersonation, hate speech, blackmailing and alike, which can be preventable. However, the cyberbullying witnessed in some communities and the spread of shock content can be really alarming to deal with. These behaviors should be appropiately reported to the respective platforms they use (like Discord, Telegram, SoundCloud and elsewhere) and if they commit an actual crime, it's also important to report it to the authorities.

===The "Grade System"===
The groups shown above are typically classified by the so-called "Grade System", which was developed by the UЖ group in order to further divide the community. This is because the actions each group commits largely vary by how damaging they are towards other internet users, and sometimes the general interests of each group are also counted. According to the FBI, many of these groups engage in harmful actions in order to gain attention, infamy or "social prestige" within their own circles, and that's likely one of the most important reasons why these classifications are in place. This is one of the most unique aspects of the Larpercore attitude and may be slightly hard to explain to people unfamiliar with this online phenomenon.
These "grades" include:
*A-Grade - This grade corresponds to the so-called "Bagrand Alliance" between Larpercore clans. These include the following groups: Hell's Angels, The Notorious Templaro, Synergy/Energy, Red and Wine, Osivigati and The Polox Syndicate (all of them presumably disbanded in 2020).
*B-Grade - Corresponds to the "Bullet-Force Grade", which mainly operates on the video game of the same name and is rarely involved in Larpercore Discord communities.
*C-Grade - Possibly the most controversial grade, with "C" standing for Coalition. The most infamous groups within this grade include UKK, NOKKO and URA. It is going through a "revival" in 2024 by groups such as GCAD. Additionally, it's supposedly further divided in various subcategories, such as: 
**CC - Clans like UKK that used to rule C-Grade or try to seem superior to C-Grade, this grade was created by Arminius. It still exists in a small bit today as just UKK, some other notable clans that claimed to be within this grade were NOKKO and URA.
**Upper C-Grade - The most powerful clans in the Coalition.
**Middle C-Grade Higher appointed clans by the Coalition.
**Lower C-Grade - Newly created and less competent clans.
*D-Grade - The so-called "Disappointment Grade". It refers to groups that rely on stealing code and scripts from Github and manual spam, or have members that don't necessarily align with the general values of the Larpercore community. The most notorious D-Grade clan is "36 F*gs", or 36F, a clan made by members of the Gacha community during "Project Gachafall" as their own stand against much of the Larpercore community.
*F-Grade - Standing for the video game "Foxhole", it refers to two groups called KKM and NRX. Supposedly this category is nearly identical to the "C-Grade", but only encompasses two communities. Their origins are unclear and it probably doesn't exist anymore.
*G-Grade - The "Ganglandian Grade". It refers to any Larpercore group whose name ends in "gang" (for example, Chaos Gang or Screamer Gang).
*M-Grade - The "Mapper Grade". It refers to Larpercore groups that are inherently related to the "Mapping" community or the Countryballs fandom. These groups are typically run by younger people when compared to the other ones.
*N-Grade -The "NationStates Grade". The term is used to describe Larpercore groups that are based around a specific fictional country, or those that use elements of political satire (also known as "Mock Governments"). Like the M-Grade, it also involves taking a liking to Countryballs.
*O-Grade - Standing for "Oxygen Grade", it describes a very specific type of groups where the members pretend to be rich and/or hackers, and their Discord servers often have a lot of Nitro boosts and a vanity link. The members of this grade sometimes engage in extortion and social-engineering in order to gain money or somehow profit.
*S-Grade - A tongue-in-cheek term that means "Stalin Grade" and refers to any Larpercore group that focuses on the Communist ideology. Communism is really rare among this aesthetic, hence why this classification exists.
*W-Grade - Standing for "Call of War grade", it refers to members of the Larpercore community who discovered it through the video game of the same name, especially in 2020.
*Y-Grade - Named after "Yurian", this is a "self-insert" grade created by the UЖ group and YuriHyperGG in order to distinguish themselves from every other Larpercore community (since they were the ones who created this grade system in the first place).
*Z-Grade - Stands for "Zombie Grade" and refers to former members of the Larpercore community who quitted sometime around 2021.
=== Attitude ===
The members of the Larpercore groups are generally politically incorrect and they often pretend to be the military online, especially on platforms such as Discord, where roles such as "Warden", "Private", "Emperor" and "Soldier" are frequently used. They tend to tightly moderate their Discord servers in order to not get reported, with actions such as removing all of their text messages every week, or encouraging newcomers to screenshot the list of servers they're part of as well as their friend list to make sure they align with their "values". In addition to that, an important aspect of Larpercore is its members' emphasis on "anti-degeneracy", which realistically refers to them targeting anything they personally dislike. Despite this, many groups inside the community have been hypocritical and participated in really sickening and illegal actions that could actually be described as "degenerate", unlike those harmless things they label as such (which are usually fandoms and subcultures they dislike). Another common hypocritical ocurrence in the Larpercore community is that the users tend to describe themselves as "chill", when they clearly aren't and this typically only applies to their friends and groups.
Larpercore is heavily influenced by internet culture (mainly coming from Discord and 4chan); meanwhile, the feminine side of the aesthetic is rooted in Femcel internet culture and anime. However this constitutes a minority because the aesthetic itself mainly consists of men and women are rarely found in the communities unless they fit the Femcel archetype. A majority of the community is hostile towards the LGBT+ community and if a transgender or non-binary individual tries to join in and take part, most of the time they'll immediately become targets for cyberharassment or doxxing. It's also important to note most of the participants in this online subculture are teenagers aged between 13 and 20-years-old who tend to spend way too much time on the internet and believe they are "dangerous" (although a small minority of Gen Alpha is also beginning to adopt this aesthetic due to propagandistic content in social media and online video games such as ROBLOX"Teens tricked by satanic online cult groups inside Roblox on Discord | Documentary" by news.com.au (YouTube). The participants are very rarely adults or convicted criminals). For them, cyberbullying simply entertains their power fantasies because they believe they can get away with anything in the online world, unlike real life. While there is a significant overlap between Larpercore and the Incel ideology, Larpercore users aren't necessarily incels. After all, most of them are teenagers and might not identify with specific dating ideals.
One of the most edgy and insensitive traits that make Larpercore what it is has to be making fun of people's deaths and other real-life tragedies and incidents. Such famous "icons" within this community include George Floyd, Ronnie Mcnutt, Shuaib Aslam, Rorochan_1999, Technoblade and so much more.
They express this through saying phrases like:
*"That was breathtaking" - A reference to George Floyd's death.
*"That was mind-blowing" - A reference to Ronnie Mcnutt's death.
*"Jordan, are you recording, Jordan?" - A quote from Shuaib Aslam.
*"Roro Chan Challenge" - A harmful "challenge" referencing Rorochan_1999's death.
These deceased individuals are even edited into "memes", which they spread to other servers alike in this aesthetic. These memes primarily consist of creating "gaming" accounts for them, Friday Night Funkin' mods reenacting their deaths, writing songs about them (typically with extremely edgy lyrics), videos of people "smoking" their ashes, editing their deaths into shock content compilations, etc.
Another trait commonly seen in Larpercore is the glorification of mass-shooters and school shooters, with some of the most "popular" figures in the community being the Columbine shooters, the Buffalo shooter, Brenton Tarrant, Audrey Hale, Adam Lanza and many other criminals. They mainly express this on online platforms like ROBLOX, where people can dress up their avatars as whatever they want and make whatever type of game they desire. Members of the Larpercore community have dressed up as school shooters in ROBLOX"what larping on roblox does to a mf" by @gone_fishinq on YouTube, and also made games referencing mass-shootings.
While the exact reason for this kind of behavior based around mocking deceased persons and glorifying criminals remains unknown, some speculate these teenagers might be going through feelings isolation in real life, especially given the fact that the Larpercore aesthetic started to emerge in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown, when most schools were closed and real-life socialization virtually stopped.
=== Terminology ===
Like previously mentioned, most of this slang originates from the internet culture of websites like Discord and 4chan. Here is a long list on how to comprehend each word used in Larpercore slang:
*Larp - Noun, Used to describe a clan in a vague way. EX: "That's a Discord LARP clan."
*Larped - Verb. Used to describe a past-tense action one committed that broke their "rules." EX: "He larped to Undertale a few years ago."
*Dox/Doxxing - The act of someone leaking the personal information of another internet user. Although it's technically not illegal and for the most part unregulated by the law, it almost always overlaps with another crime, such as stalking or harassment.
*Pizza Bombing - The act of mailing unwanted pizza to someone's door as a "prank" (typically to someone who has been doxxed by the Larpercore community)Pizza Bomb on Urban Dictionary. Like doxxing, it's technically not illegal, but it can have a really negative impact on the victims (who could get their address blocked from food delivery services) and can easily overlap with stalking. It's also unethical towards the people who cooked the food and the delivery drivers, since these food will most of the time get wasted and no one pays for it.
*Swat/Swatting - The act of prank-calling a national emergency phone number and reporting a false incident with the victim's address so a SWAT team shows up at their home. Although really similar to Pizza Bombing, it's way more dangerous and actually illegal. People who practice SWATting can face serious legal charges, and there's also a risk of the victim getting killedSwatting on Urban Dictionary.
*Tox/Toxxing - The act of someone sending a really explicit and/or graphic image (like extreme gore/dead bodies/CP/a mix of the three, or simply shock imagery in general) to someone NOT part of their community"Your Discord Account is in Danger" by No Text To Speech on YouTube. The users who received such images will later be mass-reported by the Larpercore user in hopes that their account will be bannedToxxing on Urban Dictionary. The term "Tox" is derived from the word Toxic.
*DDoS/DDoSing - The malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server. In the Larpercore community, a lot of people might attempt to DDoS the Internet Protocol Addresses (IPs) of the people they don't like.
*Raid/Raiding - The act of spamming a Discord server chats or DMs, YouTube and/or TikTok comment sections. Done with the intent to annoy the person or community.
*Nuke/Nuking - An act of when someone who follows the Larpercore lifestyle gets the Admin role in a Discord server and destroys it by deleting channels, banning members or even changing the server icon. This can either be done manually or with a bot that has stolen code from Github and re-pasted into the Glitch website. Additionally, bots that are programmed to nuke are called "Nuke Bots".
*Dislike Bombing - A term that was almost exclusively used on YouTube to refer to an act of mass-disliking someone's videos. The primary targets of Dislike Bombing were children, because dislikes and likes are more likely to affect their self-esteem. Nowadays this practice has stopped because platforms like YouTube removed visible dislikes. Alongside that, sometimes they would leave really rude comments.
*Ragebait/Ragebaiting/Ragefarming - The act of a member of the Larpercore community saying something extremely infuriating online in order to make internet users angry or "rage". Most of the time, they will say surrealistic, non-sensical or even illegal things in order to shock others. Some groups such as UTTP ragebait people on YouTube by spamming disgusting phrases on comment sections, and it's better to not reply or give them any attention.
*Colonized Servers - A term almost exclusively used on Discord, which refers to an act of a LARP group/clan "colonizing" another server. In practice it's really similar to "nuking", but the server members won't be banned and remain unless they leave, which makes it almost useless since most users wouldn't want to stay in the raided server.
*Bait Servers - Another term exclusively used on Discord, which refers to a guild/server disguised as a controversial theme in order to catch the attention of new members but actually differs from such topics. The servers in question are typically found on websites like Disboard.
*Skid - A diminutive form of the term "script kiddie". This adjective is used in Hacker culture to describe people who don't know how to code but still attempt to be part of the Hacker community, and they may often steal scripts from platforms like Github without giving credit to their respective programmers. This term can apply to a great percentage of the Larpercore community.
*Token Grabbing - On Discord, this refers to someone using malicious code against another user to acquire their user tokens. In the platform, tokens represent an alternate way to log in on someone's account without introducing the password, so they have always been easy targets for Skids and Larpercore users. Most token grabbing hacks are done through installing malicious archives (including infected images, sound files, etc.) and if one's token has been compromised then resetting your password will also reset your token.
*Otax - A "exploit tool" allegedly created by the Hell's Angels (HA) group in 2016, which "token grabs" someone's Discord account upon accepting or denying an infected friend requestOtax in Urban Dictionary. It's unknown whether this hacking method actually exists or even works, and according to the rumors it is gatekept for approximately between "10" and "20" Larpercore users (who allegedly call themselves "The Otax Club"). Because of this, its origins are uncertain and it's most likely used as a scare tactic or a lie. 
*Selfbot - Also abbreviated as "SB", it's a type of script that Larpercore users often run on their accounts in platforms like Discord, allowing them to use functions typical of a bot in a chatroom (like custom commands, bulk-deleting messages, spamming automatically, and so on). It's important to note that these exploits are forbidden in the platform and can be punishable by a permanent ban.
*Bypass - Mostly used on the video game ROBLOX. It refers to any content that typically wouldn't be allowed in the game (this can be a loud song with swearing, a flag representing a far-right political faction, an avatar or game depicting real-life tragedies, etc.). Those in the Larpercore community sometimes run entire Discord servers dedicated to creating these types of content.
*Anti-Gacha and Anti-Furry - People who base their identities around hating Gacha Life or the Furry subculture.
*Wehraboo - A pejorative term similar to Weeaboo that refers to young non-German people who are obsessed with Germany and its military history (mainly Nazi Germany, followed only by Prussia and the German Empire). Most Larpercore fans can be classified as Wehraboos.
*Kek - Used as a substitute for LOL or ROFL.
*Degen - Diminutive form of the word "degenerate". Most of the time it's used as a derogatory term for anyone who likes furries, anime, Gacha Life, etc. or simply doesn't align with their values.
*Moralf*g - A combination of the words "moral" and a slur towards queer people. The term first emerged in 4chan and it's used to describe basically any person that doesn't approve of the Larpercore attitude. As implied, the persons who use this as an insult typically have a really messed up moral compass and values.
*Fed/The Feds - Diminutive form of the word "federal". It's typically used to describe any figure of authority - ranging from intelligence agencies to the police or social media moderators. EX: "The feds already found my new account".
*Jannie - A slang word derived from "janitor" that originated in various image boards such as 4chan. It is used in a similar manner to "fed", but it specifically only refers to content moderators.
*Funni/The Funnies/Do the Funni - A phrase that originated from a meme about Poland's NATO Article 5. Funni is a mispelling of "funny", adding a sarcastic tone to the word. So, in a Larpercore context, "funni" can refer to doing something malicious to another person (because in its Polish meme context it refers to nuclear annihilationThe Funni on Urban Dictionary), or owning "embarrasing" screenshots of another user. EX: "I'm gonna do the funni to his Discord server", "I have some funnies to show you".
*Operation Pridefall, Gachafall, Furryfall, Animefall, etc. - A hateful trend that was first started with the "Pridefall" controversy on 4chan, which assured that during Pride Month 2020, many members of the LGBT+ community were allegedly harassed and doxxed"Inside Operation Pridefall: 4chan's Attempt to Bring Down Pride 2020" on VICE. This plan ultimately failed, with its creator being arrested, although later the Larpercore community created other events suffixed with "fall" targeting various fandoms and pieces of media.
*Roro Chan Challenge - A phrase that references the death of the 14-year-old Japanese streamer Rorochan 1999"The Roro Chan Challenge Is a Popular New Internet Trend With Severe Consequences" on distractify.com. This phrase became popular in 2020 when a tribute music video/song about her went viral on YouTube through the algorithm, and members of the Larpercore community started making videos referencing it via acts such as jumping off a building in video games like ROBLOX"Roblox Rorochan Simulator Speedrun (WR)" by speed dudes 69 on YouTube. According to some news reports, some teenagers were actually harmed after trying the so-called "challenge".
*Fansigning or Cutsigning - An extremely sadistic practice done by some extremist Larpercore groups, which refers to forcing someone (usually a minor and/or a girl) into doing self-harm and carving the group's initials onto their body. This word originally didn't have any violent connotations and originated in the K-Pop community. This term officially appears in a FBI warning about extremist Larpercore communities that practice extortion, like Harm Nation or 764.
*Monke - A diminutive form of the word "monkey", which is typically used as an insult on Discord. This most likely comes from the interpretation that monkeys are "dumber" than humans.
*Chimp/Chimping/Chimping Out - Derived from the word "chimpanzee". This verb is used to describe someone getting really annoyed by a troll, or basically a violent outburstChimpout on Wiktionary. Although the word originally had racist connotations, Larpercore users seem to use it regardless of race. EX: "She started chimping when I insulted her", "He chimped out when he saw the picture".
*Seethe - A verb that refers to someone getting filled with intense rage, but without directly expressing it. This is similar to the word "chimpout" but without the stereotypical violent outburst. EX: "I'm gonna punch his teeth out to make him seethe".
*Larpistan/Kekistan - Two infamous examples of made-up countries. Larpistan is a name that's been often jokingly referenced within the community, while Kekistan originally came from 4chan. They are suffixed with "-stan", since it's considered to be the stereotypical suffix of Central Asian countries.
*"The industrial revolution and its consequences" - A reference to Ted Kaczynski. This phrase is often used to criticize any content creator, group of people or piece of media they perceive as "cringe".
*Save Europe - An anti-immigration phrase, mostly used by teenagers on TikTok, that claims that if immigration doesn't stop in Europe then the so-called "white race" will go extinct.
*"The Gnomes are Real", "Millions Wear The Hats" and Gnome Hunting - Another phrase mostly used on TikTok, which portrays people of Jewish ancestry as "gnomes" wearing hats. "Hunting" in this context is an euphemism for killing, making it anti-Semitic"How ‘Gnome Hunting’ Became TikTok’s Latest Antisemitic Dog Whistle" on gnet-research.org.
*"Aryan Classic" - Another common catchphrase used on TikTok and YouTube, specifically seeming to target songs that belong to genres such as Dance, Nightcore, Scenecore and Hyperpop. Larpercore users on YouTube typically post these "dog whistles" on comment sections in hope of spreading their ideology, although most of the time they fail and/or get ridiculed.
*"Never Lose Your Smile" - A phrase and dog whistle mostly used by Neo-Nazi teenagers on TikTok and YouTube, which references the logo of the SS Totenkopf. It was one of the subdivisions of the German Waffen-SS that fought during the Second World War, and its symbol depicts a skull with a smile and crossed bones.
*"Now Yuo See" - A phrase used on TikTok, typically used by young extremists after "explaining" their so-called "political ideology" to someone else. The reason why "you" is misspelled as "yuo" remains unknown. EX: "Yes, I believe in an outdated extremist ideology. Now yuo see...".
*Group-specific Lingo - Given the collectivism inside the Larpercore community, some groups use their own catchphrases that are limited to their own bubbles. For example, some of the most infamous phrases by the UTubeTrollPolice group include "FRIES R UP", "Hi guy's", "COFFEE AND FRIES", "BIG & STRONG", "UTTP Club", "Let’s get these liverpool scouse bastards for Tommy Parky guys" or "Thy".
===Activities===
Followers of the Larpercore aesthetic often participate in the following activities:
*Trolling on the internet
*Cyberbullying and witch-hunting people on Discord, TikTok, etc.
*Nuking Discord servers
*Creating "propaganda" videos as aesthetic edits on TikTok or YouTube Shorts
*Attempting to "recruit" people in order to create cyberharassment campaigns
*Watching real-life gore or sending it to other unsuspecting people as shock content
*Pretending to be part of the Military
*Using Kali Linux
*Obsessing over Hacker culture
*Reading Encyclopedia Dramatica or editing it
*Vandalizing wiki sites that document pieces of media they don't like
*Defending countries on Pixelboard-themed games
*Participating in cringe culture (making fun of furries, cosplayers and/or fans of certain media, watching cringe compilations, etc.)
*Selectively participating in cancel culture (claiming to hate it or be against it, but regardless participating in the "cancellation" of content creators or authors they personally dislike.)
*Stealing code from Github
==Visuals==
Larpercore users primarily express their aesthetic through their online identity, and this aspect encompasses the "clan tags" almost always seen in their usernames, profile pictures, the avatars they wear on multiplayer games, and the type of content they share online. Their profile pictures often include "edgy undertones", like glitch effects, black and white filters, symbology that indicates what group they belong to (clan tags and sometimes custom portraits) and references to the military or controversial political ideologies/religions (mostly Fascism, Neo-Nazism, Satanism and/or Islamic Terrorism). References to Hacker culture are also really prevalent, and the users sometimes use rare Unicode characters and letters/characteristics from foreign languages they most likely don't speak (German, Japanese, Greek, Russian and/or Arabic in particular) in their usernames in order to appear more "threatening". Other motifs commonly noted in the aesthetic are lighting effects, skull masks, glowing red eyes, monster faces with sharp smiles, green filters (referencing jokes about "CIA officers glowing in the dark"), devils/Satanist imagery, and everything else.
Online, the users share content that can easily be seen as inappropiate, insensitive or disrespectful, including dark memes (like Trollge, memes with elements of hate speech, or reaction images used with the purpose of cyberbullying), inaccurate and glorified depictions of schizophrenia (with various users describing themselves as "schizo" without proper diagnosis of a schizophrenic condition), content that mocks real-life tragedies and the deaths or real people (seen in online game avatars and custom games), memes that involve extremely controversial topics, and so much more. The users of the Larpercore community have also been known for participating in controversial trolling campaigns; some of them have created fake Pride flags that represent non-existing sexualities to infiltrate the LGBT+ community. Some of the most infamous examples have to be the "Dreamsexual" pride flag (described as the "attraction towards Dream", a YouTuber), or the "MAP" pride flag, which was created on 4chan as a joke promoting "inclusivity" and "normalization" towards p*dophiles inside the community. However, these trolling attempts were virtually rejected. Similarly, Larpercore users also create custom country flags with really edgy elements or light inspiration from Fascist regimes, and they typically post these flags as GIFs on platforms like Tenor. On TikTok, aesthetic edits glorifying the Military are often shared, typically accompained by Drift Phonk music or Hardstyle remixes of pre-existing songs.
Some Larpercore groups such as UTubeTrollPolice (UTTP) or Funwaa Cult (FC) are the slight exception to this rule. Respectively, UTTP uses an aesthetic heavily inspired by YTPMV videos (consult 2010s Internet or OtoMAD for more relevant information), while groups like FC were closer to the Funwaacore and Arabfunny aesthetics. Certain groups like TSUKI Project exploited the Cyberpunk aesthetic in order to promote a dangerous pseudo-religion/philosophy that consisted of dying in order to be transferred to an "anime Cyberpunk afterlife" inspired by Serial Experiments Lain, and that was a serious problem because they were misusing an aesthetic that appeals to a lot of teenagers in order to encourage them to take their own lives. Although unconfirmed, Politicalwave aesthetics are probably really influential in most groups.
==Music==
The music associated with the Larpercore community is diverse and can vary from group to group. However, most songs used in the aesthetic tend to be at least edgy in some way or another. Groups like UTubeTrollPolice (UTTP) primarily use Eurobeat and an editing style that heavily resembles YTPMV videos (see OtoMAD and 2010s Internet), while certain extremist Larpercore groups influenced by Satanism or Occultism such as 764 and SickFuqNation (SFN) have been noted for their presence on platforms like SoundCloud"There Are Dark Corners of the Internet. Then There's 764" on WIRED, where they create "curated" playlists mostly made up by Edgy Electronic songs in order to "promote" their ideology or "brainwash" their victims. Another interesting aspect is how many users with ties to this online subculture will most likely recognize certain songs simply because they were featured in shock content/gore videos. The most well known example of this phenomenon has to be the song "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc., which used to be considered a staple of Disco culture, but nowadays most people associate it with a Mexican cartel video.
On individual platforms and social networking websites, the music taste of Larpercore users can also vary. In online games like ROBLOX, the most popular genres are Meme Rap (which corresponds to a subgenre of Hip-Hop based around rapping about whatever memey topics are trendy, mostly done with the intent of going viral and sometimes the songs can be disrespectful) and ROBLOX Bypassed Audios, which often include Phonk and/or its subgenres and Loud Rap. Incelcore music is also a popular choice among Larpercore users on 4chan or Discord, since the songs have extremely edgy lyrics and some of them have also disrespected deceased individuals. On social media sites like TikTok, the most popular genres are House Phonk and Hardstyle (mostly seen in remixes of pre-existing songs). Unsurprisingly, another genre that seems to have resonated with the Larpercore community has to be Patriotic Music as well as Balkan War Songs"Turbofolk, Orientalism, and Civility – The West’s Obsession With the "Violent" East" by YUGOPNIK on YouTube, which are frequently used in the edits. There also seems to be a direct pipeline between Larpercore and Trap Metal, Necrotrap or Horrorcore music, since some musical artists such as GOREJIT and rejectedreyna have made songs referencing topics like the SickFuqNation group and its infamous shock content videos, or the glorification of Middle Eastern terrorism.
