or i prefer

I'll drive a million miles
To be with you tonight
So if you're feeling low
Turn up your radio
The words we use are strong
They make reality
But now the music's on
Oh baby dance with me yeah.

Rip it up
Move down
Rip it up
Move it down to the ground
Rip it up
Cool down
Rip it up
And get the feeling not the word.

Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chung tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Wang Chung tonight

Now, why would anyone want to 'Categorize' themselves?

What I wear on the outside is an expression of who and what I am on the inside...I would NEVER want to be 'trendy' and I haven't a clue what the word 'fashion' means (which is obvious to anyone who knows me)...If I like something, I'll wear it, if I don't, I won't, no matter what anyone/everyone else is or isn't wearing...

@Urge...I'm basically a jeans and T-shirt person as well, mine just tend to be black because that's the color that I like the most...Just as you may choose to wear blue more than another color...I wear my 'accessories' just as someone else may wear jewelry...It's just something that I like, it doesn't matter to me if anyone else likes it...I dress for myself, and ONLY myself...

Ive been called Goth, Vampire, Witch, Freak, Crazy, Devil Worshipper, Scary, even BIKER (if you can believe that), and some not so nice things, as well...But, I am just ME. I dont fit into any box. The only thing close to a label that I will accept is 'different'...

I suppose that I can accept 'Scorpio' as a label, its pretty much the only thing that really suits me, although I have to admit 'vampire' comes close for many reasons, but probably none of the reasons you may think...Mostly just because I am pale, I have pointy teeth, I'm a night person, and I avoid the sun like the plague, simply because it doesn't agree with me, NOT because I am trying to BE a vampire...It burns my skin, makes me swell, blister and peel, it also hurts my eyes,which gives me headaches, and I simply have no energy in the daytime, it really feels like the sun drains me...I'm really hyper at night, though...People also call me a vampire when I tell them how old I am, and anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I really haven't changed much since I was 20...I still dress, act, speak, think, feel and sound the same way as I always have...Of course I don't LOOK exactly the same, but pretty damned close...People who haven't seen me in YEARS, always say, "Wow, you haven't changed at all"...Well, they probably wouldn't say that NOW with my hair all cut off and dyed black, but always before...Yeah, I'm pretty boring...

nicely said i've been called a bunch of dumb shit too for the way i dress i've had people call me a fag just because i have long hair. and everybody that does that kinda shit is justa asshole that needs to stop and think about how stupid it is to judge somebody by what they wear or how they wear their hair or anything else.

I am a combination of a lot of things: My music taste is punk and electronica...but I'm also a jock, which is a weird combination. I also masturbate to Tom & Jerry cartoons, but I don't know what that would fit under.



So, what do you consider yourself to be?
none of them.

I'll agree with you on several points (the most of anyone so far). I agree that people dress a certain way to portray a certain image. But it doesn't stop there. Since we're talking about music, I will be the first to admit that at one time I listened to music that I honestly didn't like too much, just because it was the cool thing to be listening to. So yes, I think people do pigeonhole themselves and project themselves onto stereotypes. Life imitates art (I think).

What I don't agree with is that you seem to be saying that this makes it ok for us to categorize people. That, since they want to be thought of in a certain way, it's ok to do it. I think a good example of this would be a conversation a friend of mine and I had. He's the manager of a record store in a semi-ghetto area of Dallas. He was talking about how much he hates it that, when he sees a young black dude come in with baggy clothes and some sort of headband, that he thinks they are a drug dealer/"gangsta" and are going to steal something... so he watches them. Now, this young person might be trying to portray that EXACT image, one of a lawless drug dealer/gangster, but it's just morally not right to assume that about him.

Everyone judges everyone else, and if you say you don't, you're lying. Most people I know judge people based on their taste, or lack thereof, in the arts (music especially, but books and film and other stuff too). And since we have established that music often has a heavy influence on fashion, we can assume that most people I know judge others based merely on what they are wearing... and what that says about what they are into.
