Montrolls

Montrolls are a subculture that emerged in the early 21st century in the internet and social media communities. The term "Montroll" is often used to refer to an individual who trolls online, but does so in a more overt and theatrical manner, often with a sense of grandstanding or self-aggrandizement.

Montrolls often engage in the act of trolling, but instead of doing so in a subtle or covert manner, they loudly declare their intentions and actions to the world. This is often done with the intention of provoking a reaction from others, or to garner attention and notoriety.

Montrolls can engage in a wide range of behaviors, from asking deliberately inflammatory or provocative questions to making outlandish or pretentious statements. However, unlike traditional trolls, Montrolls tend to be more besieged by their own ego and often become fixated on their own self-image.

The Montroll subculture has been noted by some researchers and observers as a manifestation of the intersection of narcissism and self-aggrandizement with internet culture. Some have argued that Montrolls are not simply "trolls" in the classical sense, but rather a product of broader social and psychological trends.

Despite the polarizing and often contentious nature of the Montroll subculture, some have also argued that Montrolls can serve a mirror to the seriousness and accumulation of values in online communities, perpetuating a symptomatic satire on those symbols which are often reciprocated by social rejection of outsiders. The exact motivations and dimensions of the Montroll phenomenon remain a subject of ongoing debate and study.
