Just some random thoughts .....
Current mood: awake
Okay so i'm talking to a friend of mine in washington state and he tells me he wrote this chic and commented on her gothic or emo type style , well she freaks out on him and says shes part of the new glam scene!! .. Okay lets get a few things straight ..first Glam is from back in the late 60s , 70's and early 80's think of .... David Bowie as an example ! .. Okay second does it really matter ?
What i find completely mind boggeling is that i have children who are being exposed to this and they hear people call me everything from a punk chic to a rocker chic to gothic and so on AND none of them identify with a certain group or subculture , i do have a teenager and she says , mom i'm just me ! one day shes dressed in all black , the next shes all bubbly and chipper blah blah , anyway enough of that rant !
So my thing is this , why do these "scene kids/and not so much kids" have to label themselves ? Why do they have to be considered gothic/emo/glam/punk/gangsta? Does it really define you as a person ?
Does everyone who dress in all black that "defines" themselve as gothic walk around all depressed and whiney? NO! ..
Do the people who consider themselves emotional punk cry every 5 minutes ? Do they all listen to H.I.M ?
Do the Glam's dress in thier glam attire 24/7? I doubt it..
My point to this is , why should it matter if someone is mistaken by commenting on your choice of attire .. I don't know anyone of sound mind that gets offended if someone calls them a different :scene: than what they portray themselves to be.The only ones who i really get annoyed at are these 13 and 14 yr old wet behind the ears kids who call themselves punk .. because they say they're against conformity and all that jazz , but by labeling themselves arent' they conforming to a certain standard among that group? its late and this probably makes no sense but who the fuck cares !
