the problem with kids today (pop, punk, genre, quote)

maxwell-cu · 01-31-2005, 04:51 PM

The weather here really hasn't been that great, we were expecting a great snow season and it's been mediocre at best. I've been out over 20 days already and have only had one day with 6 + inches of snow. Can't complain though, vail is good even without snow.

yeah well we've been getting hit with a sh*tload of rain, whistler closed for a few days, so did fernie, basically everywhere is crap. but I guess I'll just stay in the park when i go up there next weekend, they've got a sick rail park up so i'm thinking I might hit that up. I'm just praying it'll get better before the season ends, park is fun, but I'm really craving some pow at the moment.

I just got back from class and in need of shower so I haven't read all these posts yet but I have a simple question.

Ever since I moved back from Frisco, people I know have been calling me a metro/emo kid or whatever. I kicked it with a bunch of 'punk rockers', asians, metros, ***s, idiots, etc. Anyways, so instead of dressing in my usual way too baggy clothes and sweat pants, I developed some sort of style. It was much tighter and a cleaner look, yet I came to the conclusion that despite what everyone thought about me, when it came down to it I am a complete loser.

I am a nerd, geek, etc. I decided to open up and let the world know. I don't dress to impress so to say, I don't dress like I want to be cool, I dress like I picture most nerds would dress if they wanted to fit into a stereotype. I've always dyed and ****ed with my hair, have some piercings covering the left side of my face and I've always dug those black framed glasses.

So picture a short guy with spiked dyed red hair, the black box frame glasses (which are HUGE in SF), with just some actual fitting clothes (Smalls) (jeans, vests, chucks, etc). I'm curious to see if I fit into the stereotype cuz I associated with people who enjoyed emo but dressed however they want.

I can probably post a pic later when I get all my **** hooked up, if i felt like it... but yeah just curious. Cuz if i don't cool, if I do, then whatever, I"m not going to change cuz it's 'trendy'. I'm going to stay like this cuz I enjoy the way I look, like some loser trying to be cool =)

:EDIT:

the starred out word is just G4Ys... not f4g or anything derrogatory like that.

I have to say that that is a very good point, but kids will hang with kids whom they are better at getting along with, so if it's punks, there is something drawing them to that crowd, or whatever crowd you are reffering to. I have gone through the phases, and am sick of trying, I have 2 boys and have found that pnk is my style due to personality, I can't always match my colors, and have perfect hair that is not sticking up, so I just go with it, so if that is punk, it works, not to say that I don't like to listen to the odd Patsy Cline hit....however, the Sex Pistols are god! LOL!

wear what you want, do what you want. if it bothers you than deal with it.

i wear girls pants and tight pants. whatever. i have been since 8th grade. i like the way the look and feel and alot of girls think their hot. when my manhood is called into question i either brush it off or if its serious enough i offer to show them, this scares off most people. the others well, we end up fighting. i got bros. i win. i didn't capatalize one single i this entire time. i'm lazy...

The real problem is when bands see that thier form of music is trendy so they sell out and start to get played on radio and MTV. Then every trend whore kid pretends to like them just to be popular. This is what I hate. All the damn 12 year old mainstream girls that don't know **** about the genre suddenly think that emo is cool even though a month ago they had no idea that it existed.

Thats what happens to all genres , stop being so anal about it.

I just hate it when underground bands start to play ****ty pop music with the purpose of going mainstream to make more money. It seems like bands can only make one or two good records and then they go to **** ass pop.
