There's nothing like that where I live.. Its not like we have gangs of preps, and gangs of punks.. We just mingle with everyone. Its not like we all live happily or anything like that, there's still the normal amount of abuse between everyone, but its not because of how we dress..

thats so tru but i still have doubts
many people are different and they do act different towards different styles but its still gonna be a war
even if ppl live "happily ever after".....
YEAH RIGHT lolz

Yeah, they act different towards different styles, but they also act different to their own styles... I know exactly what Im trying to say, but its not working.

People dont use dress sense and taste of music as a reason to insult people, because they insult people that dress exactly the same as them. When they insult people for being an "effing goth", its not because they wear black and listen to metal, they'd insult them anyway, no matter what the look like. They just call them a goth because they just look like it...

Awrg I cant write it properly, but I know exactly what I mean.

Good job... Now hopefully he doesn't come back with 3 of his buddys and beat the crap out of you in some dark alley and leave you for dead.

we have a really small school, so there are random gangs of people, and most of it is preps.

the people in each social group critisise the other's for their taste in music/dress sense/way of thinking and then go on to dress/listen/think in their own certain way which is anti-confirmist! but they are actually conforming to anti-conformity.

emo is the perfect example. recently loads of people i know are so quick to say "I'm emo", "i listen to emo music", "i'm an emo-kid" what the &*^%?

They dont like other social trends yet they follow their own? They try to be different, yet everyone in that group is similar... if a band is not emo enough (even if they might like it) they cant say so in their social group because it's not emo enough (or whatever the genre is).

Point is, young people are always trying to be part of something for acceptance and trying to classify themselves as something rather than just being an individual! Who cares if you like something you shouldn't?

I have one of the most diverse taste's in music, clothing and pastimes of anyone i know, simply because i really dont care if i fit into someone else's idea of what is "emo" or "indie" or "gothic" or "pop" or whatever the hell else?

Question is, why cant other's be like this?

(i put this in the emo forum because emo is the current trendy thing to be apparently and i'm expecting more flames that way

)

I totally agree. I did post this ages ago, but you seem to have made a better point than me and you got the message across.

i reckon theres probly a sorta thing happening at my school like what angie said, but not as extreme. like people hang around with people like them but its mainly cos they have the same kinda interests. personally, i hang round with heaps of people both younger and older than me... otherwise i get bored talkin tothe same people... i think that kids are just insecure and looking for something to hold onto to make themselves feel like they belong to something... and i think ive already posted that....

Aww poor lad, did he really deserve that?

we're all part of some form of trend. we need to belong to something, its our identity. people who say their unique and part of no trend are still in a trend- if you understand me.
