I don't understand how dressing a certain way or listening to certain music categorizes me...
So what, I listen to Paramore, Flyleaf, and Tegan and Sara.. How does that make me a "dyke"?? Wtf??
Also, how does wearing skinny jeans, bright green converse, and band t-shirts make me emo?? or scene?? or whatever they're calling me these days.. So I headbang, doesn't mean I'm metal rocking drug addict.. I'm straight edge so I have no clue why they'd think I'm into that shit.. What does my hair have to do with who I am?
I play soccer, don't wear make-up, and hate dresses, so accordinging to their standards I am not allowed to be girly..
According to those stuck-up bitches who want organize everyone into little cliques, I am automatically an emo-scene lesbian tomboy on drugs..
Screw them bitches, half of them make out with girls at parties anyways to impress horny boys
I am bisexual, but I'm sure as hell not one of them.
People who capitalize every word in a sentence.
That's Alot Of Heavy Metal Man.Those Stuck up Stupid motha Suckas Will Never Try To Place Me In A Curtain Clique Just Cuz I Do My Hair Crazy with Colors And Always Wear Black And White And Gloves And A Lot Of Candi Bracelets They Right Away Assume I Worship The Devil Or I Cut My Rists. But I Can Care Less Of What They Think.Label Me I'll Label You Back
indeed. minus the emo-scene on drugs part. wootwoot.
@I'm a RIOT!
I guess all those stuck-up bitches you mentioned were right.
So confused, haha I posted this over a year ago. Well I guess to let you guys know, since then I'm an out lesbian was dating the love of my life until last week (entirely another story bleh) and my year thought we were the cutest couple. Apparently there was some plan to vote us for that superlative for the yearbook next year. I pretty much dress the same, except shorter hair and the occasional flannel so sometimes people confuse me for a boy at first glance haha but I have adopted a DGAFing attitude and most people respect me for it and I'm still insanely confused as to how this came up again..
Honey, if there are a bunch of people giving you shit about who you are and what you like, here is the best piece of advice I can give you:
One finger can convey your feelings on someone else opinions louder and better than anything you say. Use that finger and keep walking.
i can totally relate to @ I'm a RIOT!,
whats up with these people anyway? what are we ever get from treating people different?!! those bi**hes at school must really get a kick out of hurting people which shows how messed up they really are...............
No how you feel. This one bitch is really just testing me and she doesn't realize ill take that heifer's life. Apparently i look like i listen to reggae. Had to restrain myself from punching her in the throat.
PEOPLE WHO DO THINGS TO PLEASE OTHERS! Let me bitch slap you cos UGGGGHHHH!!
Yeah.. thats pretty much all i can say... And good on you for not conforming to societies idea of perfect because society is full of shit. If people want you to be like them you know that that is essentially who you shouldn't be because you are giving up your identity to turn into a "normal" person and where is the fun in that?
they always look the cover not the content
Also, apparently this was how Hayley was as a teenager. Look at her now. So don't feel bad.
I got over that a long time ago. I like who i am. I like what I like, and i don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks about it. They can criticize me and talk about me behind my back all they want, it's not gonna make a difference in the end. ignore them. as much as you can.
I agree 100 percent. Labels are such shit. Sure everyone judges people right away without realizing it, but stereotyping and making fun of people is completely irrelevant and unneccesary.
I'm the same as all those things you said (except sometimes I wear makeup) *high-fives*
This topic is about a year old. Why was it bumped?
Hales!!,
Dig up fossils much?
and also, Paramore, Flyleaf, and Tegan and Sara are like my favorite bands so HELLZ YEA!!
i totally agree. i support you 100% on this topic. people used to always judge me from what they saw. i hate how people do that. they never look on the inside. as they got to know me everything went well.. so it will get better.. :)
@MattOfTheProblematique
Let's get one thing straight, I do not stereotype people. Period.
That was my point.
That because they say you are doesn't make you so.
So why does it annoy you so much?
I used to get called emo and fag and shit like that.
I never really let it get to me though, they saw what they saw, they didn't see who i was through what i wear.
Just try not to do it yourself?
When i see teens walking around in a tracksuit I don't assume "ew, chav. They're gonna beat on my flesh".
I work at a zoo where I meet about 2000 people every day. Each of different culture, style and race. It makes me learn to not take things at face value.
I see goths that are really nice and happy, chavs that are soft and sweet and all sorts that would smash through your stereotypes.
Just gotta learn that what you get isn't actually what you see.
i am totaly the same! i dont wear make up, i play the drums, ive never had a boyfriend, i headbang, wear skinny jeans, band tees, my hair is two different colours, i like black clothes i love paramore flyleaf and metalica, i like to wear my brothers clothes sometimes b/c they're comfy...
i could go on forever!
all of these things make me an "emo, goth, druggie, metalhead, poser, lesbian"
I AM NONE OF THESE THINGS!
i am whoever i wish to be, not what others want me to be
high five, I utterly agree
i like skinnies and Converse and music too...which would make me "emo." i want to dye my hair black someday, which would make me "goth." i love makeup, dresses, and pink, and hate sports, so i'm a "girly girl." just fuck 'em all. labels make me feel like punching someone in the face.
in science last year i said how i would like to dye my hair black with purple highlights. the girl sat next to me burst out laughing and called me a goth.
well, if i knew you, youd be my best friend. ive taught myself that in life there is never a right or wrong answer. you know why? cause people make rules right? each person is treated equally. so if someone does something that doesnt mean that someone should do that because of them. wear what you want cause its never wrong. people are people. if someone does something, theyre right, whatever you do is right as well. but calling you that isnt right.. so your doing the right thing...
@MattOfTheProblematique
I'm not emo because I'm not anything. I'm into everything and anything so I don't label myself as being in one group. I don't pick my friends by what they wear or if they like the same music as me. I pick people to be friends with by their personality and if a cheerleader or a kid of the science olympiad team have an agreeable personality, a good sense of humor, and admirable traits, then I'd be friends with them. I don't discriminate by cliches.
i HATE people like that. it's so unfair.
people call me emo.
people call me goth.
people say i'm trying too hard to be noticed.
people say i'm bitchy.
people say i'm looking for attention.
people tell me i'm a whore (even though i have never had a boyfriend)
people accuse me of doing drugs.
people don't understand....
wearing skinny jeans isn't a crime.
listening to Paramore and Flyleaf doesnt mean I'm a "vampire"
wanting to be like Hayley Williams doesn't make me a poser.
i feel your pain.
Yes, its unfortunate how people must catogorize eachother in order to try and find places for everyone.
Ignore any sort of catogory/stereyotype.
people are so mean, I dont have first impressions like that.
Okay, maybe it may shock me at first because Im not used to it
but I dont just write them off. And its not just emo people either.
If a saw a girl walk into a classroom and she was wearing a sequined shirt, disginer jeans, and high heals, that would wierd me out because im not used that, at school
omg @mat is really starting to get on my nerves!
hee goes on every friggen discussion and tries to bee all smart!
well anyways, i dress that way too. (except i wear black vans)
but yeah im called "emo" even my parents call mee that,
and im considered gay because i like rock/hard core music and i hate main stream music.
pretty much everyone stereotypes. just ignore them or dont let it get to you.
