It is pretty much just a meme, its actually the second most popular class after Humans according to stats.

People like to hate on elves (and humans) for being kinda vanilla, but that's mostly a small subset trying to be edgy imo.

Also depends on what you quantify as an elf too, because there's like 10 different elf variants at this point

Wood elf, High elf, Drow, Eladrin, Astral elf, Shadar Kai, Half-elf, and Aquatic elf

I like elves and think they’re cool, but they definitely should cool it with how many elf variants there are

You missed Pallid Elves, and Mark of Shadow Elves (if we're counting ERLW)

I’m not the most knowledgeable, what is ERLW?

Eberron: Rising from the Last War. It was a sort of steampunk-y setting, same one warforged are from. Basically every race had these "Mark of X" variations that gave them some extra spells and basically a racial spell list, along with an extra little ability or so like advantage on certain checks or something.

Ah, I have the book, just didn’t recognize the abbreviation. I always thought the whole marking thing was more of a substitute for leveling up or getting a feat than an actual racial difference
