Labeling Yourself

[Yes Im Chad]

I just kinda want to make a rant/ fight with each other thread here.

I dont get this...why do people label themselves?
Like
"oohh im emo"
"Im a hardcore kid"
"im straight up punk"
"im straight edge"

What do you get outa Labeling yourself? To me it seems really pointless.

[a typicalcliche]

[Yes Im Chad]

Im a guy who listens to music. I listen to way to many generes to even consider labeling myself.

[a typicalcliche]

[Yes Im Chad]

People like to belong to a group. It's human nature. For the straight edge kids, it's even more pathetic, as they need to be labeled to stay strong to their beliefs, as opposed to just staying strong to them. People were able to abstain from those things in the past, and they called it having dignity.

[Yes Im Chad]

Straight edge is just flat out gay. Im sorry you can do that shit without the x

[boysdontcry]

Very good point Dom.

I don't label myself and I don't wear the clothes associated with the music I like. Music is not all I am.

Music flows through my veins!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, just kidding. Lets see, as far as I go, I don't know what I am. I play soccer so I could be labeled a jock, but then again I like the whole "punk" genre and what not. I wear clothes associated with the music I listen to. I don't know. I don't necessarily believe in labels. I think once you label someone you pigeon hole them and they can't be anything else and I think people should be allowed to be numerous things.

There are kids who are definitely really in to and part of a scene. If they want to label themselves as such, cool go for it, it applies. There are others who do it to try and belong to something bigger than themselves and others who do it because they think it makes them cool.

I can tell by your name and your sig that you listen to a lot of different bands.

[Yes Im Chad]

I used to be into the local hardcore scene big time, and thats all I used to listen to but I still didnt say "im a hardcore kid"
I like hardcore porn though

[A picasso blue]

i dont label myself. mostly its other people who do the labelling. like i can think of a ton of threads where people tell someone else "ohh ur so emo!" which is annoying .

[sleepygrlgreen]

it's comforting to some being able to put yourself into a group. it's like..it gives you a sense of belonging. that's my guess anyway. me on the other hand...i'm just a mess.
