Different Clothes, Different People???

Just to elaborate on that last point there, I think if someone's going to dress or act in a way that would make others categorise them, they should embrace that rather than get angry about it. If someone looks at you and says "you're a goth" because you have dyed black hair and drapey black clothes, then chances are that's how it's going to be, and you should accept the fact that you are exactly how you're perceived.

Exactly.

And if you hate being stereotyped, go hang out with a group of people that isn't of your stereotype, 'cause lets say you're an emo, why don't you go hang out with some chavs for a day. What?! You don't want to?
Why?! 'Cause you think they're all dumb or something?
Congradulations ladies and gentlemen, you just stereotyped.

For people who want to sterotype, sterotype yourself.
Apparently I'm Goth, Thats News To Me

I'm steriotyped a weirdo. And a "gof innit". But I just go along with it and say yeah because what they think is a goth is something way different to what goths are really. I wear clothes to keep my body warm, not to ****ing look good. If I wanted to I would wear a chicken outfit and not care what anyone else said.

It's stupid. People take clothes too seriously. They are far too quick to judge people by how they dress.

stereotyping is bad. Does it matter if they wear burberry and trackies if their a nice person??

..And a lot of chavs can be nice. I know a few myself who I'm pretty close friends with, they know they're chavs and they simply don't care, but they're nice people.

On that note, I'd like to say a big-up to all the chavs who recognise what you are - it seems chavs are the only subculture who accept their fashion as a word (except emos, but no-one likes them).
