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.

I'm too boring to really fit a steriotype. Back in high school a younger girl referred to me as emo barbie once. This does not exemplify me at all, but I found it funny.

Spartan.

Because Spartans are cool.

In all honesty, I'm the guy that doesn't fit a stereotype. I listen to a lot of metal, so you could label me as a metalhead, but at the same time, I really don't fit the description. Of anything really.

There we go. See the point was to be the one you're nearest to. I mean I listen to pop and punk and hardcore and metal and gangsta rap and Christian hip hop and R and B and folk and country and blues and allsorts of shit that defies giving me a stereotype, but that wasn't the point of thread.

Though admittedly, 'prick' doesn't really count as a stereotype. I think if you saw me in the street, you'd think indiekid.

Well, from most perspectives, I'm basically an indie kid who hasn't put enough effort into fashion.
But if you really wanted to disparage me, I'm a sensitive singer-songwriter. I write poems, people. poems. I am saved from emo-ness because these poems are not posted on LiveJournal.

AlexAttack · « **Reply #78 on:** 20 Feb 2007, 09:55 »

i could be a reformed punk rocker maybe? i got rid of the mohawk and ripped up clothes years ago. got sick of looking like a hobo-core vagrant.
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.
ultimatley i'm happy being boring and not drawing attention to myself anymore.

Oh, if we're going by LOOKS, I have no idea. I mostly just wear band t-shirts and black (boy's) jeans and awesome jackets, but nobody ever recognizes the t-shirts I wear (except like, Cat Power or Flaming Lips I guess). I have a Spiritualized t-shirt that says "THE TWELVE STEPS" on the back that I get some weird looks over.

It looks like fully half the thread is "music dorks who "cleverly" string together a bunch of nonsense genres when asked what steretype they are" stereotype.

kablaaamo · « **Reply #88 on:** 20 Feb 2007, 14:57 »

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.)

I'm a Hardcore Hippe. Not that I'm a hippie who's hardcore, but a Hardcore fan that also likes Bob Dylan. That said, Children of Bodom should do a Bob Dylan cover album.

in as few a words as possible put yourself into a group of music listeners to which you are most closely related...kind of like a poll to see what our listners range between

no one sits on the fence

examples include
metalhead
indie kid
teenbopper
emo

personally i'm calling myself a mansonite even though i'm no where close to it

anywayz have fun

well
i'm very short
i have short brown hair that's always in a tiny pony tail
i wear minidresses and leggings and skinny jeans and flats
and cardigans
i listen to bands like melt-banana, le tigre, of montreal, animal collective, xiu xiu, barr, madvillian

so i guess that makes me a feminist electro pop indie kid?

Liz · « **Reply #91 on:** 26 Feb 2007, 13:42 »

I'm slow on the uptake. I tend to start listening to artists after they've been out for a while and people have decided that they're too mainstream to be cool enough to admit liking. It makes sense to me.

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).
