I'd imagine no one would stereotype me based on my appearance because I don't wear the typical clothing for each group. Hell, I hardly even wear shirts with logos, jokes, sayings, or band names to begin with. So I guess I'm "that random guy who likes music way too much but otherwise dresses and looks pretty normal."

Sideburns
"Evil Genuis" Goatee
Lots of sweaters, almost no sweatshirts
A different hat for each day of the week
Wool-lined denim jacket
Big-ass headphones
Skate shoes
Plus, of course, I listen to Belle & Sebastian, Johnossi, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, Coldplay, and Camera Obscura

I'd say that makes me Third-wave Britpop

I'm not really fond of stereotypes (read:denial.) but i'd have to stick myself in the Indie Kid bracket. slash "scene" slash "hipster" although i'm not fond of those either... underager? I've been to gigs where i shouldn't have been allowed in... but anyway! i'm wearing a woolly jumper,skintight drainpipes with the bottoms turned up and some reissue Converse Star players. and have a lot of hair and big glasses. (not black, but blue with orange bits.) correct me on the stereotype if i'm wrong... but as the whole "music" part of this thing (although some stereotypes, actually most stereotypes go by appearances alone.) My current favourite band are Mumm-Ra (synthy britpop-esque chirpy band from a seaside town) are in the "NME indie rock tour" so they're indie, apparently. other than that, Decemberists, Albert Hammond Junior, Mystery Jets, Larrikin Love, Pulp, Jarvis Cocker, and Gogol Bordello. plus the Noisettes, i saw them recently.


but i get mistaken for an emo a lot, living in darkest banffshire of Scotland... deeply rural it is...

People are easy to label!

That's why I'm going to say that I am a...uhm...


Actually, this isn't so easy.

I guess I'd call myself 'punk' because of the choices I make in life, not the way I dress.  But as far as trying to stereotype myself based on the music I listen to...well, I just





can't do that.

Try harder guys!

Goths, punks, indie kids, poppy kids, hippy hop people, hips, post somethings, whatever, I forget what they all are anyway, but point is...

Don't fit in with a stereotype, it's better to be boring, like me.

i honestly have no clue.  i get called emo a lot.  because i wear tight clothing, and i wear band t-shirts like... The Morning of, Emery, Chiodos,  and a Taking Back Sunday one i don't wear that frequently. but i also have like Millencolin, NOFX and yeah.  but i mean, i like indie too, and i look like an indie kid sometimes too (a used to be military cadet hat turned into anarchist looking thing with pins and i drew on it, i wear suit jackets outside over a blue zip up hoodie with the hat, and a brown plaid scarf thing), but idk, it's whatever i feel like being that day.  today i'm just wearing a grey thermal over my Chiodos shirt, a studded belt, and some slim fitting dark blue jeans...

also i have long, shaggy blonde/brown hair.  and i wear bracelets and a black and red checkered sweatband on my right wrist.  i don't wear them as a fashion statement, i just like to.

so, idk, you guys label me.

my hat doesn't get stolen, but it was a stolen hat.  my friend stole it, and then i stole it from her.  but she knows i did, because i told her, so it's not really stealing. :\

i live in Vermont.  so everyone listens to either rap, country or classic rock.  with a few people who listen to indie stuff (mostly in the bigger "cities") in between.  but the majority of the populous are either trendy people, or hicks.  with poser hicks too.  and poser trendy people.  it basically sucks here.

I guess that would pretty much sum it up, because I like a lot of indie music, but it leans towards the pop/electronic side, and almost everything I listen to has a female vocalist

If you asked me a few months ago I would've said "metalhead" without a second thought, but now I have no idea. I very rarely wear all black anymore, my clothing is about equally split between (metal) band shirts and other things (webcomic shirts, polos, work shirts) and my musical taste has really opened out to include some indie rock, a fair bit of indie pop, folk, and post-rock. In fact I haven't bought a metal album in ages.

I'm closest to 'indie kid'.

Mostly because I tend to listen to all the same stuff indie kids like.  But I don't automatically hate all the stuff they hate, either.  I like some country, a lot of blues, some bluegrass, some rap, and many of the bands that indie kids used to like but decided not to like when they realized they liked them too much (Like the Stripes).

Basically, I'm exactly the same as an indie kid, except I only listen to bands that I actually derive enjoyment from.

my dress code consists of a band tshirt (a variety of punk rock bands), jeans, chucks and a black baseball cap. sometimes sunglasses if its sunny.
i'm not really sure what stereotype i would fit into though-
i don't like to wear shorts and sideways hats like the hc kids, i have a shaved head but i'm not white and hate suspenders so being a skin is out and i think the fringe core kids look utterly ridiculous.

I am a closet elitist; really, I'm just another indie nerd but I am way too fond of having friends to openly express the full extent of my musical opinions often.

Based on looks, it depends on the day. Some days, I'm kind of a hipster....other days, kind of hippie....other other days, it is just a mishmash of brighly coloured clothes that make it look like I got dressed in the dark.

Picture a prototypical girl who'd be going to art school. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to describe. (Except I don't go to art school.....but that is entirely not the point.)

Sounds like a plan.

I particularily like the Reader's Choice Awards on that site. And him bashing quite a few of the artists that I actually like is rather entertaining as well.

I guess I have been a punk rocker/metal head by association in the past, because my friends listen to (duh) punk rock and metal.  But I don't dress the part at all, and recently I've let my musical tastes broaden.  I'm listening to TV on the Radio as I type this, and I just got finished listening to BSS and Mogwai.  So I guess I would be a newly made Indie fan.  I've dressed the part for years it seems, and now I'm listening to the music (which I really enjoy).

A music major who thinks the other music majors at his school don't even have decent taste in music and are barely trying...so I think "extra-pretentious asshole" fits the bill, probably.

You're about as punk as the bands you've confessed to liking. Sorry, that's not very 'punk' at all.

Judging by the fact that my favourite band is My Chemical Romance, I'd guess you would call me an emo. Yes, I wear black and write in a book I guess I could call a diary. So shoot me.

Actually, to be honest, I listen to such a variety of music I guess I'd be hard to label. Though it is mostly rock. Does that make me a...rocker, perhaps?

I haven't hit puberty yet, so I'm gonna go with 'hypocrite'.
Also, if you listen to my chemical romance then you must be the walking dead. Or at least, that's what I've come to understand...

 See, when you die, the first stage of decomposition is a loss of colour in your cheeks, right? Then your eyes become sunken and black, you get all bloated around your stomach and your arms and legs become almost stick like, you start to smell real bad and people don't want to hang around with you anymore? Your nails change colour and then your hair turns black and covers up your eyes, you hate your parents and cover your black hoody and geek culture referencing messenger bag with pins that have silly slogans all over them. 

That's about when your dead body gets up and starts to walk past me and my boys on the street prompting them to say 'Fucking zombies'.
Zombies ain't as bad as I thought they'd be, they're not half as persistent as they are in the movies and they don't even eat meat. Our brains, they are safe, no?

My cheeks are quite rosy, you'll be pleased to know, and my hair is blonde (and altough I hate it, I do not wish to dye it black) and does not cover my eyes. I do not smell, and although they are not many, some people enjoy my presence. My nails are the same colour as yours, probably, unless you do fit the stereotype of 'hypocrite'. I do not hate my parents at all but rather love them as much as any daughter should, i.e. enough to give them Mother's/Father's Day presents every year, this Sunday being no exception.

I do not prompt you, your boys, or any other person to say 'fucking zombies' on the street.
I am not the walking dead.
I am not the stereotype you believe me to be.

I'm sorry if you (or anyone, for that matter) are unable to judge people on something other than the music they listen to. If your motivation was to hurt me, impress others, impress me, change me, show me the idiocy/ridicule you believe me to have, or even to express the hatred or anger you hold towards me, congratulations, you have failed spectactularly.

My intention was to post a funny and mindless observation on the internet that absolutely nobody in the world should take seriously. Calm down darling.
One thing that you can't deny is that it will always be fun to tease kids because they listen to My Chemical Romance. It's the way things are.
It's something that won't change.
The other day I made fun of my friend because I showed up at his house and he was listenning to Genesis. I laughed at him and then I acted afraid of him. Then I started to cry a little.
Friends don't let friends listen to Genesis.
While I'm here...

Black people only make music for people who hang around on stoops and carry handguns. All black people steal TVs and advocate violence.
Gay people only make horrible and dated sounding pop music that makes men like other men.
A woman doesn't have a soul and she should stay in the kitchen.
If your hair is longer than 3 inches and you're male, you're a goddamn faggot homosexual and you should burn in hell.
Indie kids only listen to obscure music because they're completely devoid of anything remsembling a personality and they need to use it to make themselves seem more interesting.
If you wear a trench coat, I'll shoot you before you shoot me. Similarly, if you wear mostly black clothing, you're probably gay as well as a satan worshipper.
People who claim to be artist are complete fags and they act all 'holier than thou' because they find it impossible to be geniunely cool. Unlike me, I like football.
People who are into sports are brainless shells of people that don't have a personality, this means that if you like football, you are stupid.
Blondes r dum.
Ginger hair is a disease.
You white bastards all gonna die.
You black bastards all gonna die.
You brown, yellow and blue striped bastards are all gonna die.

I lost track of what this post was about a while back.
Actually, I lost track of this thread round about my first post in it.
It seems that people take everything too seriously, and it's kinda fun watching people make a fuss about something so obviously not meant to be taken seriously.
The only time you should take an offensive comment seriously is when it's 'typd lyk dis'.
This is because we all know for a fact that aol speak is for dummies who don't know what humour is.

I look forward to next week so I can hang out with my intelligent friends who listen to genesis, my gay friends who like music that is probably better than the music I listen to, and even my fair headed friends who like My Chemical Romance. Even though they 'typ lyk dys'.

Did I say that this is the SILLIEST active thread that I have in my memory? I'm including the countless 'DONG' threads we had a while back too.

I refuse to label myself as anything other than 'me' and you should all be doing the same. Reject stereotypes. I won't label you. Even if you seem to genuinely determined to label yourself.
Title: Re: sterotype yourself
Post by: CrashAndBurn on 17 Mar 2007, 11:48
I am extremely glad your post was not supposed to be taken seriously. I, unfortunetly, tend to flare up when anything potentially offensive is said and I am sorry for doing so. It is true that making fun of My Chemical Romance fans hasn't change and I am afraid never will change and though it irritates me somewhat, I see your reasoning.

Your list was entirely correct and highly amusing. And although you might have lost track of what your post was about, you are spot on. I agree with the fact that stereotyping is degrading and rather idiotic. Notice, or rather, remember, that in my first post on this thread, and, consequently, this board, I said 'I'd guess you would call me a...' instead of the usual 'I would call myself a / I am a...'.
I only posted because it was the first thread I came across and although it was foolish, it happened. And maybe, just maybe, I was looking for trouble. I do admit that sometimes I enjoy arguing, though it is terrible to confess so.
Also, partly, I wanted to see your reactions.

And Spinless, I would be honoured to be called your friend, now, even if that was not what you meant. And yes, only now, after realising the light-heartedness of your post.
I hope you are willing to forget anything I might have implied that is / could be negative.

No see your doing it wrong if you want to be like Dead you need to bury your clothes underground till they start to decompose, then put them back on, you need to carry around a dead raven in a bag, so you can breathe in and inhale the scent of death, you need to cut yourself up with broken bottles and lastly you need to write an amusingly witty suicide note. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_%28musician%29
