Hacking in movies is usually portrayed terribly, but not using a mouse actually somewhat accurate.

Many beginner programming courses will start by teaching you how to use the console to navigate Windows as a basic skill that helps your programming efficiency.

Once you get used to the console, and also learn the relevant keyboard shortcuts, certain things can be much faster than using a mouse, especially considering the fact that you're typing code and both your hands are on the keyboard anyway so you might just as well leave them there for other tasks instead of switching your right hand back and forth.

I intermittently see a few young people who call themselves Goth because they put on some fishnets or black nail polish and took a photo of themselves here on reddit...not exactly where I'd put the gate, but whatever. It's pretty clear they couldn't name a goth band to save their lives.

Yeah, subcultures often develop their own unique styles, and then inevitably those unique styles are distilled down to mass-produced and commercialized kitsch. And new people want in on this or that subculture, but they can't make their own culturally identifying items or clothes, or buy them from obscure stores (before the internet started selling everything) but look...here's everything they need to identify with this culture on this rack right here, a shirt, chain, hat, bracelets, shoes/boots, etc. And these subcultures and in-groups aren't always the most inviting to new people either, which pushes them to these cheap, commercial versions instead of the genuine culture.
