Label Yourself... If You Had To...
« Reply #30 on: February 01, 2004, 11:19:33 am »
I like a lot of different syles... I dunno what to pick. My style changes with my  mood, although it never changes too much.
I'm mostly preppy I guess, but I think i'm a mix of preppy, teeny bopper, and punk. I used to be a major teeny bopper, but luckily not so much now.

yeah... what is a "grunge"... i've never heard of that...

wow you gotta be kidding me....
Early-mid 90's out of Seattle came Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgraden... and with these bands came a ultra casual look of flannel, grungy t-shirts and jeans...

Well my friends think i'm a "Drama person" and I guess I am.. Drama and Choir person, i'm just in the class it's not like i'm in all the big plays or anything, but whatever, lol

So yeah, I guess i'd label myself as a "Drama person" as my friends so kindly put it. I can't really choose anyof the other options.. none of them are really me.

Oh and I really hate when people label music genres.. It just irritates me. To me music is just music.. music is just something you should enjoy without all the labeling shit. I know I will get smacked for saying that but I hate when people are labeled like "punk" or "emo" or "teeny bopper".

Emooo.. I guess
most of the music I listen to is 'emo'.. bright eyes is like the epitome of emoo
I don't really give in to the whole image, though.. I just dress as I always have.

if you want to see EMO.. go on myspace or friendster..

every emo kid on myspace has donnie darko and requiem for a dream under movies.. it's not even funny.

it's the trend of the year.

Why exactly does that make you sick?

OMG! SOMEONE MIGHT TRY AND FIT INTO A FASHION MOLD!!!?!? OMGWTF!?!?/111!

Does it make you sick when Elle prints articles about fall and spring fashion as well?  Or does this only bother you because it is about counter-culture fashion?

:? I guess so...Andrew and i got in to a discussion about this in the TBS thread, and decided that there are tons of different offsprings of rock and emo. you've got punky emo, rock emo, hardcore emo....it's all emo in general, just a different style. so yeah, emo rock works :-P


Weezer is geek rock and nothing else.

I agree that TBS is emo... in all honesty, they are closer to the original emo than just about any other band out there.  Dashboard is emo-pop... a lot more mom and dad friendly.

Metalhead.

I don't wear leather, ripped jeans, play guitar well or have long hair (well it's longish, but not metal long) I just listen to heavy metal.

In fact, if I hadn't already voted, I would classify myself as Other - Nerd. Nerds are allowed to listen to metal and not have a metal image because metal is the most unpopular and unfashionable type of music and so is perfectly suited for nerds. I have a job as a computer programmer, I tape discovery channel documentaries on quantum physics, I wear a digital watch and I once played a role playing game where I was a wizard, lol (the game used 10 sided dice for goodness sake!). So yeah, nerd :)

lol, well i've never really listened to Weezer so i can't really say anything about them. Dashboard has definitley become more pop-ish. Have you listened to the new version of Hands Down? too overproduced in my opinion.  But yeah, TBS is some good emo.
