Honestly, I have no idea. I don't think I really dress the part for any musical style I like, and I'm not sure I really like any one style enough to be devoted.

I'm indifferent?

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #11 on:** 16 Feb 2007, 07:10 »

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."

thelightguy · « **Reply #15 on:** 16 Feb 2007, 08:34 »

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...

I'm one of those people with such a schizophrenic musical taste that any time I make a long list of bands I like, inevitably a bunch of people will say "Oh, you're just trying to look diverse".

at least you don't get the "you're weird, you know that right?" look. i do. grinning like a maniac doesn't really help either, but you know.

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.

Well, atleast acording to my 'oh-so-punk' and 'totally indie' peers (most of whom are posing dousebags themselves).

Does your hat ever get stolen or knocked off your head in the street? I used to wear hats a lot and they all got stolen. but that's off-topic. emm... I 'unno. mister arg pirate, I think most people get called emo a lot if they like bands containing guitars. Where're you from? (and Crayola,I think your peers have secured themselves as poseurs by calling someone else a poseur.)

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.

Wow, the others got pretty close.

Gay indie kid?

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

Examples of the female vocalists? I can't think of many poppy, electronica-tinged female-fronted indie bands about.

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.

Tyler · « **Reply #43 on:** 16 Feb 2007, 17:40 »

I would consider myself part indie-hipster, reformed punk, and generally awkward.

I would consider myself largely in the "indie-hipster" category with a healthy love for Gustav Holst and Tchaikovsky.

We're kind of like regular generic indie kids, only we have shirts with kittens and daisies on them, not for irony but because we think they're cute.
