Fun Stuff > BAND
Stereo Types
a pack of wolves:
--- Quote from: 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.
--- End quote ---
You can't tell how punk someone is by their dress sense, so you probably didn't look tas out of place as you might think. To look at I imagine the presumption most people would make of me is 'indie bastard' (well, unless they happened to read my badges, knew the bands and I wasn't happening to wear indie ones), but it doesn't mean I can't circle pit in my sweaters.
kilconey:
i like the way i dress. my chuck taylors, blazers, band shirts, short messy haircut. it's very "indie" but i like it - i've seen other "indie" girls that i look at with different clothes on and go "fuck, you're ugly". like it's been mentioned in the thread, the people make the stereotype first. if i'm stereotypically "indie", i was just plain "indie" first, if that makes any sense.
El Opium:
I kinda look like poseur indie. My glasses are wire frame and I don't own a pair of converse (nike bought em out anyway, so they're evil corporate blarg now anyway). I get plus points for being English (in America) but people assume I like the beatles and indie pop when I'm becoming kind of a nut for more experimental styles.
Willis:
Yeah, well you wanna know how Indie I am?
My wardrobe is predominated by items from Express for men and Gap. My shoes are either my nice black Borns or my "retired" Asics running shoes. I'm pretty much like any other mid 20-yr old male grad student. Heck, I have a nice collection of dress shirts & ties that I enjoy wearing. The most Indie thing about me is my denim jacket, my QC shirt, and my straggly red hair -- and that is on border line hippiesh then indie. Even if I tried to look indie (I know I never could) I think that I'd be screaming "poser." Kinda like that scene in Hi Fidelity when John Cusack is talking about people who said they were punks but not really. Yeah, that would be me. So the way I figure it is I wear the clothes I want and look good doing so and then I can go listen to my indie rock. I don't need to dress the part to play the part. Do ya dig?
As far as indie girls go, however, I do appreciate their style and what not. I needs to find me a nice indie chick.

Or she needs to find you. Forget the stereotype of men having to make the first move, or at least we wish women would. Step up and enjoy some equal rights girls.
