Ye GODS.
For the 1st time in my life I find myself in a majority group.
Now.............that's scary
erm.......most of those groups are from before my time!
yup, fraid I aint even heard of teddy boy/girl, or is that just cos im blonde?......
too young for most of the groups but the older I get the more "hippy" I get but not the mainstream type!

I'm a bit too young to fall into any of those boxes luv,
but
you hit on it right at the end - sense of belonging. Now, wether many of us have addictive personalities and the innate need to belong somewhere is a big factor in this, I dont know, but I strongly suspect it is. Results of your poll from you old farts out there should be interesting though if I'm right

Guessing by this and the sig that ur a baggy like me and can't find an applicable tick box. Ah well, we are what we were and one day Spike Island will be the new Woodstock! Rebels without a Clue!
Sorry I can not say that I was any of the above. I always went my own way, I never needed to belong to anything. I followed my heart. In Japan they would call me a 'lone wolf'.
When I was asked which team do you support, I would say I do not follow football. Then they would start a long statement saying how I must support someone. In the end I started to say Man U. That stopped them pestering me.
It seems that most have to belong to some thing. They can not understand those who do not. Then most have to feel comfortable and hears an example. This is true. All then park benches are full. In walks a middle aged man with sorts and an open necked shirt. He looks around and sees just one man dressed the same, he sits by him. Next a european man walks in walks towards a bench with an Asia man then sees a couple drees close to what he is wearing a turns to then next bench and sits with them. Lastly a older woman walks in and sits by an older woman. The whole thing is about comfort, who is the smallest threat. It's about belonging and conforming.

PS I was so radical you do not have a group for me.
Hey Electronica is for the Sub 30's..
And I'm Captain Electronica!
(Even do me own Music... Like everybody these days)
Oh Yeah and I'm Planning to Overthrow every Government on the Planet and install a Robotic system like in those Terminator Flicks...
Is that Radical?
Electronica really is for the under 30's, its on the up and up at the moment, spend much of my time in dingy little music venues and you can't move for bands dressed in neon ripping of teh Human League, so camp and so special, theres some really good thing. also not quite electronica but gotta love casiotone for the painfully alone. One man and a casio keyboard making fantastic music.
rocker/greaser - still am!!
i think you should add another group of radical social outcasts called "hoodies" - the future belongs to them....
