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 lol :lol: :lol:
wink
Not saying how I voted in the poll but mine was 16% :lol2:
Leave you oldies to work it all out :wink:

The only one I ever 'joined' so to speak, you haven't listed ( I was a Bay City Roller fan....wall to wall tartan ! redface ) though I fit more into the metal/goth genre nowadays.
Ye GODS.
For the 1st time in my life I find myself in a majority group.
Now.............that's scary
I was in the MADNESS fan club at the age of 7 redface does that make me a rebel dunno
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?......
you can only vote for one group sad
(what? so i got about a bit wink )

'aint THAT the truth rotflmao :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
too young for most of the groups but the older I get the more "hippy" I get but not the mainstream type!

ha! you call being a goth, with short unbackcombable ((( sp? dunno ))) hair, or busting moves in a 1988 acid house stylee radical?
in my day we had no time for yer capitalist subcultures! it was all Socialist Workers and Revolutionary Communist Party types, shouting down the National Front and fighting deportations!
((( unless of course, we happened to have lectures, in which case we was far too preoccupied with our Business Studies BTECs and future career plans! rolleyes lol :P )))

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.

As much as I'd love to join in I don't fit into any category listed above! Maybe if you had added a category or two for those under 30. biggrin
Hey Electronica is for the Sub 30's..

(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...

Take a look at history. Power really does corrupt. On the other hand I do not want power therefore give it to me.
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.

Hmmmm, now you've got me thinking! I also was a tom boy- any other bi fems like us??? or is it just complete coincidence?!
Of course, I've changed all that now with my love of barbies dolls....
rocker/greaser - still am!!
rotflmao
i never wore leathers, were always too long!!! an old belstaff and a denim!!!!! right scruffy little bugger - again still am!!
I was an individual - I dressed strangely, a mixture of goth and plain wierd. wink
i think you should add another group of radical social outcasts called "hoodies" - the future belongs to them....
oh god i dont know which button to press confused
i was born normal-ish i came out feet first lol
my younger years were influanced by my old man who was a teddy boy smile
as i developed into a teenager i moved more into the biker stages of evolution & the grunge style biggrin
it then advanced towards the goth (cost me a fortune on hair dye as my hair was 3/4 of the way down my back) :shock:
then moved to a hippy commune in southern spain so natural :)
& now im just me cool
please help mr confused :lol:
