I think the concept of identifying into a group to make yourself seem less mainstream/majority or to make others perceive you as "less boring" is definitely a thing.

I've watched this slowly over the years with one of friends who I've distanced myself from because of her bullshit antics. She's a straight, middle class, white girl. She's just average and that's ok. But years ago she started doing drag (performing as a drag king), goes to pride in rainbow outfits, has rainbow tattoos, talks about being "technically bi," and even came out as a lesbian for a month until conceding that she was just a confused demisexual bisexual. Used to call herself greysexual. She spends a lot of time online.

Never dated a woman. Never touched a woman. Never talks about women. Never shows desire for women. Talks about dick. Talks about men. Asked random men on Facebook to be her baby daddy. Only dates men. Mostly she just posts bisexual related memes on Facebook and collects LGBT friends to seemingly give her clout.
