Tired of Fake Advice? Here Are Brutal Savage Comebacks to Shut Down Plastic Positivity

Let’s be honest — the world is full of plastic people vomiting plastic advice. Shiny on the outside, hollow on the inside, dripping with empty phrases like:
“Be nicer.”
“Try to think positive.”
“You’ll grow out of this phase.”

I say this with love — actually, scratch that, I say this with pure venom: shove your clichés where the sun doesn’t shine.

The metal and goth scenes have always been about authenticity — raw, real, dangerous, and honest. We thrive in the shadows, where comfort dies and truth lives. But still, we’re constantly assaulted by people who wouldn’t last five minutes in darkness without wetting themselves.

So here’s your personal arsenal of Savage Comebacks for when someone drops plastic nonsense in your face. Bookmark it. Memorize it. Burn bridges with it. You’re welcome.

1. “You Should Be Nicer.”

Savage Comeback: Fuck off.
Niceness is for those desperately begging for approval. I’m not.

2. “Try to Think Positive.”

Savage Comeback: No. I go to war.
Blind optimism is for sheep who need shepherds. I’m the wolf.

3. “Why Are You Always Dressed in Black?”

Savage Comeback: Because I’m attending the funeral of your personality.
Your beige wardrobe won’t save your soul from mediocrity.

4. “You’ll Grow Out of This Phase.”

Savage Comeback: Unlike your hairline.
I’ve been in this phase longer than you’ve been interesting.

5. “Metal Is Just Noise.”

Savage Comeback: And yet it has more structure than your entire life.
Go back to your auto-tuned garbage while I build cathedrals of sound.

6. “Why Do You Have to Be So Negative?”

Savage Comeback: Because reality is, and I don’t run from it like you do.
I embrace darkness; you hide behind Pinterest quotes.

7. “Smile More.”

Savage Comeback: You’d be smarter if you talked less.
I’m not here to decorate your day.

8. “Why Are You So Angry?”

Savage Comeback: Because stupidity is contagious, and I’m surrounded.
If ignorance was taxed, you’d be bankrupt.

9. “Stop Being So Dramatic.”

Savage Comeback: Stop being so painfully average.
Passion isn’t drama; it’s living. Try it sometime.

10. “Can’t You Just Fit In?”

Savage Comeback: I wasn’t made in a factory like you.
Originals don’t blend; they stand out — and terrify.

Why Plastic Positivity Deserves to Be Shredded

Let’s face it: fake positivity is a disease. It’s the diet version of actual hope — tasteless, hollow, and bad for your health. In metal, goth, and all forms of underground culture, authenticity matters. You either live it or you’re a poser — and posers are the enemy.

When someone tells you to be nicer, smile more, or stop being negative, what they’re really saying is: “Please make me more comfortable in my mediocrity.”
You owe them nothing.

How to Arm Yourself with Savage Comebacks Daily

Here’s how to make savage comebacks part of your daily arsenal:

  1. Stop Explaining Yourself.
    The moment you start justifying your existence to shallow people, you lose.

  2. Practice Saying Less, But Cutting Deeper.
    One good line is worth more than a paragraph of wasted air.

  3. Be Fearless.
    Half-measures are for cowards. If you’re going to bite, draw blood.

  4. Refuse to Dilute.
    The moment you soften for others, you betray yourself.

  5. Own the Darkness.
    Light is overrated. Power is in the shadows.

The Metal and Goth Scene Needs More Savage Comebacks — and Less Conformity

I’m sick of watching metal and goth scenes get watered down for mainstream approval. Bands writing safe songs, influencers wearing black for clout, and people trying to make rebellion palatable for Instagram.

We are not here to be palatable.
We are not here to be liked.
We are here to be remembered — or feared.

So, next time someone tries to serve you plastic wisdom wrapped in fake smiles and hollow words, answer with fire. They’ll never forget you.

Stop Being Polite — Start Being a Threat

If you’ve ever been told:

  • “Tone it down.”
  • “Be more approachable.”
  • “Lighten up.”

Don’t.
Crank the volume.
Sharpen the edges.
Be the reason people remember the room went cold.
