If you have to ask whether you were “edgy” or not, you probably weren’t. Millennial edginess hinged on shock value, whether carefully calculated or fired off in an unending barrage. It was… memorable, to say the least. And look, if you were a Millennial edgelord who feels bad about some of things you did or said — like the videos you made your friends watch or the off-color jokes served South Park-style? Well, take comfort in the fact that you — hopefully — aren’t like that anymore. Because let’s face it, a lot of our peers turned out to be South Park Republicans or worse. Now, if you’re here to discover what edgelord culture was like, you deserve a warning. Although they might be nostalgic reads for some, most of the books every edgy Millennial read as a teen are not for the faint of heart. I’ve tried to include content warnings whenever possible, but in case I missed a few, consider this your blanket warning: dead dove, do not eat.
