Do you think that Subcultures still exist? Does anyone think that they belong to some kind of subculture, like Goth, Mod, Skater etc?
Personally, I have never belonged to any particular subculture. I find that my fashion, my musical tastes and ultimately my identity have all been influenced by various subcultures but I have never belonged.
I WANT TO BELONG!!!!!
I don't really.
Anyway. What do you think?
Eh, they probably do to some extent. I don't really care, I am what I am.
I think people label me as a "goth" because I always wear black, but I always find the concept extremely amusing and don't consider myself to be "goth" so I don't really care.
I would probably be referred to as a geek, though I've never known anyone to actually say it.
Stereotypes have always existed and always will exist. Some of them are truer than others, but that won't stop people from being grouped under a certain heading, just for the sake of classification. Someone wearing glasses might be called a geek, despite being a star sports player. Someone who wears black might be called goth when in fact they're simply wearing what they consider stylish/comfortable.
It's best not to let this stuff bother you, really. Keeping up with the latest trends is too much work, so people should just go with what they like, rather than what they think others will like.
If you belong to this one you're 70% less likely to get attacked in the street. Seriously.
Watch a football riot and come back and say that.Quote:

funny you should mention this. I did a study on this very phenomena, and figured out on a very basic level we fit into three groups, A, B and C. A's being people like myself and most people on this forum, B's being the majority of people, and C's being primarily charver scum. It's all facinating stuff.
That's like a free for all though, it doesn't count.
Thats because there the ones that do the attacking.Quote:

Complete with "bling" and oddly angled hats, of course.
Not to mention an inexplicable love ofcrap music.
Well of course, being shot 9 times automatically makes the music good "coz ee's ard mate". You never know, with Busted and McFly taking off soon you could get beaten up for NOT listening to Iron Maiden in a few years.
ALL OF YOU, STOP BEING ENGLISH AND TALKING ABOUT ENGLISH THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
