There are lots of different "groups" of people about, you know, chavs and the like, I was curious to what you'd categorize yourself as, please say why, and tell me if you feel I've missed out anything important!

I refuse to put myself in a category... why limit myself in such a way? :cool:

Other, for the following reasons:

Charver: I don't like hurting people, getting pregnant at 12, or Burberry. Plus, I'm not British.

Goth: For some reason, people seem to think I'm a Goth, because I have dark hair, pale skin, wear black, and always go around in a band t-shirt, but once people actually listen to the things that come out of my mouth such as "Oh my god, I was watching Spongebob Squarepants last night and..." and stuff like that, they realise I am never ever going to be Gothic.

Emo: No. I make fun of emo too much to be emo. xD

Skater: Can't skate.

Surfer: Can't surf

Skater/Surfer: See above

Popular person: I'm anti-social and I don't drink or do drugs and I'm not skinny and I don't like making fun of people or parties.

So I'm basically a nothing~

I won't say emo because lindy will kick my ass about it, so I'll say other, but I don't know what yet, maybe just a messed up kid who writes emo lyrics but not an emo.
And it's not charver, it's CHAV

On that list, probably more surfer than anything else. Though I'm not that great on one.

Ohhh
07-22-2005, 01:44 PM

Wheres the unique option? oh well other will have to do :D

WTF??

That's kind of narrowing the field to a few categories.

I don't fit any of these.........

So I guess I'd have to go with......other. I'm a nerd, because I'm an engineer, and I love sci-fi and final fantasy. At the same time I'm a bit of a jock, in that I was athelete of the year when I graduated high-school, I still love sports and I'm into fitness, and I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. I guess I'm popular (but certainly not the stereotypically arrogant 'look-at-me I'm so hot", don't come near me, you nerd/faggit/etc type of person), because I have lots of friends (from all walks of life, nerds, jocks, surfers, etc), and I have a great girlfriend. I'm also a musician, because I play the guitar..........blah blah blah...I love hunting and fishing...or maybe I could be classified as something, but I like variety.

Oh year, I like sorta goth music like Type-O-Negative, Tool, A Perfect Circle (are these goth genres? I don't f#ckin' know).........so maybe I'm a bit of a goth too....though I don't act or look like one

maybe this is just aimed at teenagers.......even so, I wasn't classed as any of these at any time when I was 12-19 years of age.

btw, what the hell is a chav?

You dont come from the uk do you?
They are the scum of the earth, they should all die. They wear a lot of sports brands and wear burberry all the time and the girls get pregant at 12. They should all die

I guess im closest to a chav in the options, I dont think I am one though. Damn, should of voted other
oops...

Nope.

You mean dudes who think they're so cool in high school, pick on "nerds" and wind up knocking up some chick, and work at the grocery store for the rest of their lives and live in their parent's basement?

BTW, just because someone wears a sports brand doesn't make them a chav, or whatever the hell it is. I wear sports brands, when I go to the gym.........I'm certainly not a chav, form the sounds of it.

And it's not charver, it's CHAV

Charver is what they are called up in the North East. I think the word 'Charver' has been around much longer than the word 'Chav' aswell, seeing as I used to hear it all the time from about the age of 4, and I didn't even hear the word 'Chav' until last year.

Secondly, I'm sure there are a lot more 'labels'/'categories' you could add to that list. ;)

I'm none of them, I don't fall into place in any of them. I'll dress however I like and I'll listen to whatever music I like - and it will vary. :D

I'm a 'trendy' I think, that's what I've been told anyway, apparently it's someone that is never seen not wearing a pair of jeans, so I'll have to vote 'other' :D :D :D

Smile and Be happy :love:

I've got traces of Goth and Emo in me, but I wear some skater stuff and also fit with Rocker/Grunger.

Im always getting called a Goth, even my friends call me a Goth, I do Wear Black and have been known to self-inflict myself, and i do like Gothic things. I listen to bands like NightWish, The Rasmus, Within Temptation and Cradle Of Filth but im not a depressing person at all, im quite the opposite! Im always Happy and Giddy ^^
It was like yesterday.. i was walking through the park and this Chav ran over and skidded on his knee's headbanging and yelling "ROOOOOOOOCK!"
I just laughed, and he was younger than meh! =O
But i was wearing full black with GORGEOUS shoesies :love:
They're Black and pointed with Pink and white Stripes!

We should make up a "Me" category, signifying pure awesomeness.

Oh, you mean those people who believe themselves to be entirely unique in their individuality? Who whore it up on MySpace/Friendster/Facebook/Livejournal and put themselves on display in a vain hope to impress upon others the speciality of their existence? Whose voyeuristic endeavors are just desperate attempts to separate themselves from the rest of the world's inhabitants and to give an otherwise, typical life, some sort of meaning and variance?

Yep. That's me alright.

First of all , what about the dumbass jock types ?

Secondly,emos and goths are basically the same -more sulkier,paler and aloof " tortured artists " is never a good thing.

Thirdly, you cannot categorize me.
