If you had to stereotype yourself...

[Lost]

What would you say you are?

Considering most stereotypes are based on style, what are you?
or
you can base yourself on what kind of music you like...

For e.g: I like wearing skinny jeans and heavy make up... you'd be stereotyped as scene or emo (i think) so just go by like that, think of what clothes you wear/music you like and say what kind of "genre" you are as a person.

You're a girl? I thought you were a boy.

I am a boy... what gave you the impression I was a girl? if it was the example i gave at the end, i wasn't talking about MYSELF i was just saying that because the new kinda "thing" is scene/emo, so i thought people would know what i'm talking about if i brought that up.

[Indie-Dan]

I'm pretty individual tbh, while I'd fall into the usual group of "river island plimsole cardigan boy" i usually wear converse instead of plimsoles and i have kinda big spiky hair as opposed to long and straight.

I fall under this catagory yet I don't want to. I don't wear cardigans ever to try to hide it but I wear striaght jeans with plimsoles sometimes and I like my clothes to be fitted rather than baggy. Still if I just swtich the shoes that I'm wearing I can easily get away as not looking like that type you mentioned.

The majority of mine arn't too geeky... yet, designs are generally along the lines of ( http://rlv.zcache.com/evolution_stop_following_me_tshirt-p235419384841130923t5tr_400.jpg - have that one :P ) although a few are a little more geeky, but i work with geeks and do a comp sci course so plenty of people to appreciate em :D

[Mint]

Well my fav clothes are my jeans and henleys deluxe hoody. If I'm not wearing a decent hoody then it's just a t shirt with some jeans. So casual I guess.

Where'd you get them t-shirts? Like a UK version of thinkgeek?

[Mentor]

Where'd you get them t-shirts? Like a UK version of thinkgeek?

Actually most of em come from Camden in London, so no where particularly geeky, theres an indoor market thing with a small shop at that back that does em 2 for a £10, probably swing em cheaper if your willing to haggle :p
Aside from that, generally of webcomics i like and stuff, for example this one: http://www.topatoco.com/graphics/00000001/dc-preenactment.gif of dresdencodak.com :p Downside is post from the US to UK is somewhat unreliable "/

ahem where u think they get it from? all the ones here talk like weegies n think they are

[LoveToStack]

We don't even talk like that here, well the neds do obviously but it's 100% put on. No one talks like that naturally.

[buttons]

yeah i know same here we're like nowhere near glasgow and they still talk like it, there's a guy from falkirk who lives here now and he's like "leader of the neds" so they all copy him because he sounds glasweigan ;_;

[FlyingJesus]

AM SO INDIVIDUAL LOL

[ashyboy999]

my fashion sense is seen as chavvy as i wear tracksuits but i dont look like some yobby chav

i dont wear knock offs or nameless brands i wear designer tracksuits favourite is sergio tachinni which is over £100 a tracksuit now only really sold in a select few shops so its not somethign youll see the local yob wearing.

i dont like to be like everyone else i wanna be and look different.

[Nxrissa]

im just me. if i had to really push myself into a stereotype it would be scene as i like scene stuff but im not even that really because i dont really where heavy makeup and listen to all the stuff they listen to. so yeh im just myself

[CJW93]

I actually have no idea

[Misawa]

No idea. I don't wear clothing that particular social groups wear, I'm well past that stage. Never fell into it thankfully. I dress casually; usually jeans, t-shirt and a jacket. I listen to all kinds of music, mostly hard rock. Oh, and I have a short haircut that I spike up a little, short like I believe everyone should have by the time they're 18 and don't want to be laughed at at their place of employment/ wouldn't pass the interview. People will probably shout at me for that, it's not personal, just true.

And, unfortunately Ashboy, despite however much your tracksuits cost, whenever someone sees a tracksuit, no matter if it was Adidas or Armani (not quite), they will automatically brand you.

[leah]

lmao! in class today we were sayin who'd be who with the different tables, we were the asian nerds (Y)
Lmao me and my mates did that at feast week once hahahaa said we were the asian nerds tooo :8
and i'd probably be more chavvy than emoooo :P

[samsaBEAR]

im a popular kid. mcdreamy, if you will.
i definitely find you mcdreamy ;)

um i suppose im a scene kid. skinny jeans, high top shoes, new eras, bright colours and such. but my music taste is more hardcore orientated so idk

[Blinger1]

What is a chav?

I dress like any other normal person :S

[Arch]

Yerr... whats a chav? guessing its a UK term or something :P

And i dunno i skateboard? and wear kinda baggy clothes? and smoke weed?

hate doing this kind of thing but i'd say casual/preppy? :S

[Misawa]

Preppy is an American term and it doesn't mean casual.

[Danzilla]

Apparently im scene cos i wear tight fit tees and skinnys with hightops but i dont think i am. So dno, im myself?

Scene


Apparently im scene cos i wear tight fit tees and skinnys with hightops but i dont think i am. So dno, im myself?

Scene

The scene kids are the best because they're so much in denial its funny. They're ALWAYS the ones that say "I'm just me, don't stereotype me!" in the most blatant "I know but I don't like hearing it!" kind of voice. Notice how both those replies say "I do scene things but here's a tiny little difference between me and the generally accepted stereotype so I don't count neh neh". Well, Danzilla's doesn't even give a reason, its just straight up denial, but there you go.

I'd say I'm a geek compared to everyone else but I don't have all that much geek cred so I'd just be laughed out of the real geeky world :P So idk, geek wannabe?

[Chippiewill]

Pfft, I only know a few social groups:

Emos
Goths
Chavs
Townies
Tramps
Posh people
Children at posh schools (Sort half chav, half posh)
Normal People (Me)

I don't know what scene is though, from what I can tell though it seems to be a branch of the annoyingness of emo (I'm going to slit myself for attntion stuff)

[stoned]

I wouldn't stereotype myself as any of the cliché groups people put themselves into these days. I consider myself just normal, I don't aspire to fit into a certain crowd, have a certain bunch of friends, listen to any paticuarlar type of music (although I have some favourites).
I'm just friends with people I like, listen to what I like and just act how I like - most people should do that anyways.

[Blinger1]

http://www.penguinsix.com/images/chav.jpg
And you have a lot of them around England??

Wow...

[camera]

errrrrrrrrrrr none

[Indie-Dan]

Scene kids are kinda like emo but they dress all colourful with loud patterns. Most of their clothes are clashy and big and loud and most of them have big "in your face" hairstyles. They're very into music.

The female scenesters are actually damn fine :eusa_danc

Do you have an ASCN? :P


A lot of computer people on these forums...

Also Scene looks like one of the first unique social groups I have heard in a while, they are more unique than Emo tbh...

[Misawa]

They're not unique at all. They'd like to think they are. The majority of teenagers I see walking down the street fall into those two groups. There's nothing unique about them, they're like sheep. The same goes for those "alternative" people. They're all the same. The only truly "unique" and "alternative" people are those who refuse to comform and not let themselves fall into social groups, because most people these days so.

[Vause]

i could be loads.

i'm your sterotypical lesbian, the short hair and stuff. then i get called a chav most days simply cos i wear trackies cos they're comfy, but some days i wear skinny jeans but that hardly makes me emo.

so i'm just emma thanksss.

[FlyingJesus]

The only truly "unique" and "alternative" people are those who refuse to comform and not let themselves fall into social groups

I'd argue against that seeing as how so many people actively try not to be classified at all, which is in my opinion worse than wanting to be part of a social group. If you feel so insecure in who yourself is that you have to try proving how different and unique you are, that just says to me that there's something wrong.

I'm gonna use Danzilla as my example here because he's the only one I can remember what he said. He claimed that despite liking all the scene stuff he isn't scene, and I assume that's because he believes that he dresses that way just because he likes it. Fair enough. What I would say though is that his "self" is at this moment in time part of the scene crowd, and there shouldn't be a need for anyone to feel like they have to hide the fact that they fit into a subculture. The "be yourself" argument is hideously flawed in that a majority of humans have an innate need to feel included in some way, and subcultures provide for that just by representing yourself as an image, and so yeah his self is scene, someone elses self might be chav or prep or (god save their souls) goth. I respect chavs more than most others to be honest, because at least they don't try to hide what they are whilst everyone else tries as hard as possible not to be typified.

[Rarelime]

I honestly wouldn't know how to stereotype myself. I dress what I consider casually - usually jeans / combats, tshirt and a hoodie / cardigan and a pair of converse. I like 'geeky' things such as the latest gadgets and that. I like the 'hip hop' culture. I also like the 'indie' culture.

i totally agree with tom, it's just a shame that 85% of chavs are obnoxious idiots

[LauFish]

hmm, I'd probally stereo type myself as scene, but emo is completly different to scene tbh.
