i think people have this unintentional fixation with labels. i think it is just as common with adults as it is teens or children. most of the people on this site are still in high school, so there's yer typical clique-label crap that everybody goes through. In the workplace however, there are just as many useless labels. People are constantly conforming to their political (or nonpolitical) affiliations, religion, social standing and etiquette, gender, race, etc. etc.
in general, i think people should not concern greatly over what they or someone else is wearing. it seems really trivial once you get outta high school, where image is force-fed to the impressionable. let people do what they want. and you do what you want. because in the end, no fashion is original or creative. No label is withstanding...
If you talk to an intelligent person, they will not care what you are wearing. At least, i hope not...

I agree 100%!!!!!

Would they then be more aptly called "sheeple"?

Question is, why cant other's be like this?
I am the same way and often get shunned for it...like "hey you're not punk so what are you doin' at this show?" my answer is because of the music not the scene.

^But everyone does it to some extent, some just judge more than others. If I see someone wearing all black and covered in pentagrams, I dont think nothing of it. It just happens in your head, you dont neccessarily think about it, but you do.

I agree with you about that. But there is a division between those who catagorize people in their mind (everyone does it as you said), and those who allow that judgement to affect their treatment and demenor towards that person.

I think as human beings its natural to catagorize and grade people in your mind. Just think about when you see someone of the opposite sex. Most (if not all) people will grade that person, dertermining their attractiveness in their mind. Its just human nature. Where it turns bad is when people use that judgement to cloud their eyes to peoples true nature. But here I go, rambling on...
