They're usually either <14 year old kids, or people who haven't been able to change their username.
Let me tell you. I hate this username with a passion. I've changed my name/switched accounts on things I've been able to, but I haven't been sure if I could do either on forums like these...
I was really edgy when I came up with this username (I made it when I was like, 12-12.5 and kept it until I was maybe 14.5??).
It's just some "lol emo edgy cool" fad that people have and are still into. After the phase is passed, it's an embarrassment you can't seem to escape from.
I'm just glad my actual Minecraft username isn't this.

It's not exactly something new you see in an online environment, usually because the preferred name is already taken. There are many other discussions on this on older communities.

Kids mixing up exaddurated depictions of stereotypes and actual human beings who have emotional depth. Can't blame 'em though, those on the more depressed spectrum can sometimes give that impression, sadly.
To me it seems the xX...Xx is for decoration, and adding extra flare and pizzaz to an already over the top name. It's 1337 speak for 'notice me, i'm pr0', and normal speak for 'I'm unoriginal, immature and cocky'.
Why do people think xX(name)Xx is an emo name? I have met some people with that type of name on minecraft who are the complete opposite of what their name stands for!
But I completely agree, those are just really pathetic, and I still don't know why people like the trend...
It doesn't make you cool, it makes you look stupid.

but srsly there are only so many amalgamations of "MC" "sniper" "pro" "killer" and "ghost". A few extra characters just makes it more logistically agreeable
Psssssh, xX_*_[MCsniperProKillerEmoGhost]_*_Xx is a perfectly original username. This judgmental attitude is triggering to me as a basic white girl. Check your privilege.
Hey that's one of mine please don't take the mick I don't like it when people say about their personnel stuff.
Yeah, but you can't even spell right, and it's one of your what? Memes? Usernames? Pokemon? And besides, you've barely just got the "Out of the Water" ranking currently!

Bro. No. No bro. Bro. No. Don't use post count as a substitute for a person's value. No bro. No. Just bro. No.
I agree that that person's post was nigh incoherent, and that the point was rather lost in that. But no.
I always thought it was just a way of making your username more unique, sort of like adding underscores. But it always made me cringe, too.
Don't judge my username... it's old... and I can't just abandon it.

I'm on a bit of a hiatus from playing Minecraft, so I'm not so active in this forum, either. I still check it though, and participate in a few discussions.
I'd really appreciate if you didn't use the word "retard" like that. I understand you disagree with the fad (and I do agree that it is unoriginal) but it's really insulting to use that word.

ALL the people I've seen with xX usually die in the game or get banned quickly due to being a rude and mean person.

Here we see a complete lack of self-awareness.
