Fun Stuff > BAND
Stereo Types
festerius:
I used to dress like a punk, when only about 10 kids out of 4,000 that went to my high school wore hoodies and most patches where home-made and all the other's you got from the merch area at concerts you went to... Long before the bastard Hot Topic started selling patches and stuff.
As soon as main stream people started wearing black hoodies and putting patches all over them and doing the same to their back packs and stuff, that is when I started to dress like a prep.
I still go to punk shows every once in a long while, but ever since, probably about 1997 I've dressed in slacks and polo-type shirts every where I go... including when ever I go to a Punk show.
muffy:
I remember being really self conscious at a Meteors show - there were all these punks with their patches and mohawks and huge, muscley tatooed arms, and I was stood there thinking 'shit, they know I'm not punk, they know I'm one of those soft indie kids who listens to sad music who'd probably cry if they saw a mosh pit...they're gonna lynch me'.
My fears were pretty unfounded, as I only got a few looks, but the band were utterly shocking anyway, so it didn;t really matter.
That said, if I go to a really preppy/townie club, I make every attempt to indie-fy myself as a way to say 'I'm not one of you. Leave me alone'.
KharBevNor:
I am so metal it hurts.
I own a gas mask with inverted crosses, pentagrams, runes, alchemical symbols, thelemic iconography and Gandalf lyrics carved on to the filter.
I wear an inverted wolfs cross.
I have worn corpsepaint. In public.
I am in a band. And have my own side-project.
All my friends are posers. Except Darren. He's awesome.
Yet, oddly, I'm not really that stereotypical at all. Or rather, I conform to stereotypes most people are not aware of.
ASturge:
aha, like having.....hair?
'stop conforming to the human species!'
