Lol, so is lemmygrad just full of trolls now? Guess it was inevitable.

I reckon any group of edgy teenagers online could be described as "trolls."

Maybe. "Edgy" to me implies people trying to emotionally manipulate others into reactions by lambasting or supporting certain viewpoints. But, and this may just be a definitions thing, I don't think that implies that people who are being edgy don't believe what they are purporting. Trolls I think though are manipulating completely regardless of their actual views. So maybe trolls are a subset of people who are being edgy.
