I was kind of lumped into the "guys that wear black/band kids" section. I wear a lot of colors now that I'm out of high school, simply because I think I was trying to earn myself a stereotype. I like being social, but I wasn't doing a great job before...I'm much better about it now.

Liking metal and playing card games puts me in several categories, but I don't judge people based on how they dress or what they like; that doesn't mean I like the same things as everyone else though.

True enough. What kind of card games ? Like Magic: the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc, or playing cards like, 21, poker, etc ?

LOL. You label and get labeled. xD Man, that's good.
What kinda games and metal do you listen to ? : O
Define "preppy douchebag" ?
[/quote]
Preppy Douchebag-Spoiled rich kids who think they're better than someone because their shirts cost over 40$ while a standard shirt for my stereotype costs between 5-15$. In my general are, they can play Mexican music on a guitar, but can't play the simplest riffs in real music.

I listen to any kind of metal as long as I can understand the lyrics and I play RPGs and fighting games the most, but I do play FPS games often too.

I'm a little more surprised then I should be that I was only the second vote for "no".

[Amethyst Phoenix]

I don't think I have a label =/



Then again, I don't pay attention to most of the things those people say XD

LOL. Oh man. You made my day.
I don't like the rich kids either .. But my clothes are quasi-expensive. American Apparel, London, Bongo, DC, band shirts, etc. But that's the price that I pay for the clothes that I wear. I don't wear these clothes to try and impress people. That's silly.

You're saying that Mexican music on guitar isn't "real" music. Well .. It may not be what you like, and it sure as Hell is not what I like, but I am sure some people do and to them it's "real" music. So, that's a matter of opinion rather than a fact.

At least it's not being bullied, etc. I hate being labeled as "emo" because I am not emo. I mean .. What is emo really ? I don't care to to much, because I know that I am not "emo", but what bugs me about it, is that they are calling me something that they don't know what it means, and it's not a very creative .. Insult we'll call it. :/
[/quote]

Just thought I'd answer this effectively.

Emo actually means [b]emotionally unstable[/b], something which those that are labelled emo are generally not. A lack of emotional stability in someone is rarely something you will actually encounter, unless that person tells you, as those that are effected by it are either too shy to discuss it or aren't even aware of it. This is where the 'slitting of the wrists', comes from, as there are certain claustrophobic like parts of emotional instability that cause people to try and commit suicide to escape it, generally by hearing or reading things about people doing it which gives them subconscious ideas that only arise as such.

The black hair and clothing of what is labelled as 'emo' is not actually completely truthful. Black hair/clothing generally originates from a goth-like perspective, people who are generally quite dark and as much as I hate to say it cultish and sadistic in certain ways. Nowadays, what the style [i]should[/i] be referred to as is 'scene'.

Yea. It's true. The style is called scene, and it's just another style as is dressing "gangster". Do you think that have the black hair, styling it, dressing in skinny jeans, and wearing band/ graphic tee shirts is bad ?

I don't think it's bad, no, as I myself choose to wear shirts like that, and I have grown my hair out long and like to have it a certain way. Does that make me different?

Actually, yes, it does. But in a positive way. :D

There ya' go. Why do you think people are so afraid of difference and change in this world anyways ? (Go to my profile and look at my profile picture, do I look emo to you ?).

Yea. Yu-Gi-Oh has been ruined imo .. I dunno .. Not the same as it was when I was a kid. Magic: the Gathering though is a game that my girlfriend enjoy. I can't think of anyone else I know that would play lol. People think Magic is game for ... Outsiders ? For people who don't have a social life. But here's what I have to say to that; you have to interact with people to play Magic .. Interaction with people is socializing. (:

Lol. I've had my share of stuff like that. Two fights, (one of which I won, and the second one was broken up), and I stabbed a kid in grade 7 because him and his friends had been making fun of me for two years, and the school didn't do anything about it even though I told them multiple times. So I told them, if they don't do anything about it, then I am taking it into my own hands. I got suspended for 2 days. xD So people know not to start sh*t with me, but they will still say stuff to me over anon' posts on my FormSpring, or they will say it to me in the halls at school. Other than that, they don't say FA 'cause they know that I don't take sh*t from people. Believe me if you want or don't. I don't care.

Um, really?
I would think that stabbing someone would warrant more than a two-day suspension...

I was in grade 7. They can't charge, and won't do anything. The kid was bleeding though.

Well Magic is basically the precursor to trading card games, before Pokemon even. Last time I played, I played with ten other people. The game took four hours to finish.

I actually like Yugioh better now than I used to. It's still limited compared to some other games, but I enjoy playing it now...probably because I'm older and have a much better understanding of the game,
