I wasn't being rude I was being blunt, but yeah point taken it was a bit harsh. But hey, the good stuff in my post came on the same spur of the moment as the blunt stuff. So it was either enjoy the good bits but put up with the occasional attack, or just have this really tame, mellowed out bull that mean't nothing to anyone.

Thrice

cool, just try to keep out the craziness next time.

Hmm, I'll do my best but remember that not every single post on this forum will be totally positive. Negative opinions must be allowed too.

brokenheartsandfallenhero

Negative opinions presented in a positve way man. As far as the topic goes I dress how I want to, listen to what I want to, live how I want to, and I wont change this if 100 people at my school do the same thing or if Im the only one because I have been like this for years now and I dont follow fads but Im not so insecure that I run from them either

Sharky

Bah. I totally agree.

I can't be bothered with all this spending money on being "cool" and "in". I'd rather invest it in something worth while.

Being female makes it even worse. You think impressing other guys is hard you should try impressing other girls - you're either in or you're not, there is no in between. So I just can't be bothered, I've been called an "avril-lavignealike" and stuff like that but I really don't care, to be honest anyone who's a girl and dresses somewhat alternatively is automatically "avril-lavigne" anyway.

I figure dressing X way doesn't help you out any. You'll still always have someone who doesn't like you for it.

Exactly Jib. If you enjoyed the bands, you'd be happy for them. The more "prep kids" listening to them, the more exposure they get. The more financially able they are to continue making the music YOU enjoy. If you think it's great, why wouldn't you be happy that other people share your passion?

Meh. It happens in every scene/subculture.

Sharky, I'm sensing abit of contradiction. You say that individuality has nothing to do with how you dress and what you listen to and that it's based on your personality & physical appearance. How we dress IS part of our physical appearance and I don't know if it's just me, but I was under the impression that music has the power to change the way you think and to influence you, thus making an impact on our personalities and who we are as people.

^ good points. Saying that individuality stems from our physical appearance seems a bit shallow to me. While I do agree that it IS an aspect, it's in no way a major one, at least from my point of view. I think that youre personality, your interests, hobbies, and likes and dislikes, define who we are as an individual far more so than our physical appearance.
