Social groups - What category do you most fit into?

[Saijin_Ryu]

Ok the point of this poll is to see what you "social circle" you lot mostly fall into, and to see if there can be a mix of different groups getting along and not being "labelled". Because where im from (England) you can get judged by people just looking at you for example: The clother you wear, the way you walk, music you listen to, where you go and even how you wear your hair!

Every1 knows what im talking about but i think people do not address that this has taken over some people's lives!

However im not sure if this is as much of an issue where you lot come from majority: the states. But in the South East England i think its very controlling to some teenagers,


Ok now ill describe each of the Poll Choices :

im using music also to describe the groups as we all use different names/labels

Skater/Punk:
This doesnt Necessarily mean you hang around skate parks exc, you could just listen to the music with your friends in you house. And the clothed usually are Baggy...everything
Music Category
:Rock, Punk, Grunge, nu-metal, light metal and more...

Goth:
Here i am referring mainly to people who walk around usually covered by black with black nail varnish and a white face, normally looking depressed, even though i know some of the happiest goths you will ever see!
Music Category
:Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal, oh and im not talking about copper and steel...

Kev/Townie:
Teenagers who usually wonder the street thinking there "hard" because they under age smoke, drink and do drugs - very sad. Most of them can be abusive and violent. most of the people round my area are "wiggers"
Music Category
:Hip-Hop, Lame Rap, R'N'B, Dance exc...

Gangsters:
Im not sure if there will be many in this game, but im talking about real gangsters, the ones who usually appear on Cops and so on wearing "bling" from head to toe. Dont Vote on this poll unless you know you are a gangster and carry weapons into the night... otherwise your a wigger: ^See Above^
Music Category
:Real Rap, Battles, Hip-Hop and more..i think.

Brand Boy:
Quite Self-explanitory. you dont follow a group, you may hang around in one but you feel somewhat of an outcast. Im mainly talking about people who wear Gap jeans and nike,adidas exc
you may not have a certain music category but listen to a vast variety of music

Independant Women/Man!:
you may have a group of friends but you each are different doing your own thing, although this is very rare among teens with high skool groupings and peer pressure and what not.
like a brand boy but you'll never hang around with other groups just your own "Independant friends" alot like a brand boy but some differences... no music category.

There you go Folkes a vague description of the "groups" some go much deeper then this, but thats all i could think of. If you have any suggestions to a certain group please post then to make it more clear to further Voting..

Oh and i musnt Forgot, I most likely fit into the Group "skater/punk" because many of my friends are like this and you know what i said about peer pressure..
Although my music type is mainly metal, i have never wanted to look or act like a goth.

Please Vote, some-what important thread me thinks. :biggrin:

I don't like hanging around fake people...

Or people that put down others....

Hmmm I was once afriad of bees...now I actually fear nothing....not guns because my father killed himself with one and I don't fear knifes because I've been in knife fights....

I also don't fear swords......because I was taught how to sword fight to a degree when I was younger....

I often like seating in high places....and staring at the sky....

Or in places untouchable to annoying people...

When I care about someone it's true....even if that person aint true to me....

I suppose I'am independant. Because I'm not a skater, punk, goth, "gangster", brand boy, or townie. Although somewhat I fit into independant, but I do usually hang around with friends..but we, at least I dont do any sort of drugs. Or we dont go around looking for trouble. And I dont care what others think, you may not like me, but I dont care. I do like a lot of things..but some dont really fit together..its like one thing is on one side of the scale, and somethin is on the other(like sports and reading). So, i guess thats it, as I've been told, theres nobody quite like me..So I dont fit into any of those groups.

[Saijin_Ryu]

OK i see how some people may fall into Independant,
But please dont everyone choose that category because you dont want to be "labelled" because we all know we are.
Spank you

[MasterX05]

Im a G from the block and play no games.

[MegaManX34]

im a brand boy/independent :buttrock:

[ssj2trunks52]

why is there no geek or nerd in there because as you can all tell thats what I am

[lordgrobyc']

Saijin Ryu: the same thing happens here in the states. People are put down, outcasted, and beat up for what they wear or act. I read through that list and i really didn't see a group for me. I hang around a group of friends (10-15) and we kinda all do the same things...thats how we became friends. I definitely dont hang out with people who put others down. When my group sees someone getting put down or even beat up we stick up for that person and invite him/her to hang with us. I guess you could say were popular (please dont take that as bragging) and known around the school.

Peer pressure doesnt affect me at all..i have my own mind and dont put up with anything..i guess you could kinda consider me independent..but kinda not...
