I have been wondering for quite some time on what people class theirself as. I mean we all get called one of them in our life (for me its been goth, emo and greabo) but what do we actually think of ourselves?

I do class myself as mostly Emo.

Mostly human.....

animal...definitely animal not vegetable...though occasionally with tendency to cabbage...middle class cabbage...know what a goth is...the other things? I have lived too long.

I'm like school in the summer time.......

no class.



ha ha ha ha ha

Thank you all for you contributions if som of them a bit weird

"One should always be careful of what they ask for"

I think the whole 'classing' thing is bullpoo, and always persuade my friends not to refer to people as 'chavs'. However, those dirty filthy chavs would probably refer to me as either an 'emo' or 'goth', but they're all poor and inbred. Probably.

EDIT: Wow. Nice censoring thingy...

The classing thing can be stupid with people when they shout stuff out like 'Emo!'
I can't stand chavs either, I wish there was more goths and emo;s and my school and where I live.

I am a rational thinking human being. The depth and complexity of my identity as an individual cannot be even remotely defined by any group label. Also, the image I choose to present to the world does not adequately classify me in any meaningful way.

If i have a class it must be Adventrurer i love to experience new things and visit new places:D

I get called emo alot, but I hate it!!!
I would call myself of more a literature/game/manga freaK!!

P.S. I'd love whack a chav day!!!!!!!!

yeah! Me and my friend think its one of the best idea's ever. They think they are so strong but they are only strong in groups. It would be so fun. One day a week you get to hit a chav, whoever you want, and whack them with whatever you want. How fun would that be!

Is it me, or is everyone crying and calling the classing system bad, because they get called emos, then slagging off chavs? Make your bloody minds up.

"Entirely pointless."

The good, or bad thing I'm not sure, is I indeed know what are two of those classes

I hear those classes from highschool kids, I'm not there anymore, and I'm glad of that.
I'm working class, and always will be, I refuse to be a parasite of society.
Anybody have 5 bucks I can borrow.

Sure, but you gotta drive to Missouri.

I classify myself as me.

The best classification I could aspire to: TTI

Please release me as I(kiss the sky) invented my classification.TTI: that that is

I am That That Is!...__Click on me.

The link above could be considered a hijack and religious but I do not believe in religion and I think this is a good place for the meat of the truth.

I stand on the razors edge of time and I decide that that will be.
As a TTI I accept that that is as the truth
I seek wisdom to create that that should be....
blessed be the Mother and the Father
blessed be My Lord the child who is not G.o.d.
Blessed be Family

If you have the opportunity to ask your family a question... Do IT! Mine is gone and so are all the answers that they could have enriched my life with. My hope forHumanity

The problem with classifications is that they are based solely on appearance and are just another form of stereotypical prejudice. When I went to high school I was a long hair and I wore jean and leather and listened rockin roll and metal music. I was classified as a hippie grit but the fact is I defied classification under any circumstances. Now a days as 30+ adult I don't have to deal with classifications for one simple reason, I'm not forced to socialize with anyone that would be so narrow minded as to classify me or themselves. If you think that you can put me in a class go ahead and try.

I'm 5' 5'' tall and weigh 147lbs with about 3-5% body fat
I wear my hair very short for comfort not style.
I dress for comfort not appearance.
I wear glasses but only in front of my computer or behind the wheel of a car.
I have an IQ of 134 but did not go to college.
I'm a blue collar Democrat.
I'm not religious but I am spirtual.
I'm a devoted single father.
I listen to almost all forms of music but I love rock and metal.
I play all types of video games but I love RPG's.
I love movies both comedy and drama.
I love riding dirtbikes and atvs.
I have several years of martial arts training and have never struck another human out of anger in my entire life.
I always give more than I take.

I am me as I have always been and no one can ever take that away from me, least of all with some petty bullsh** classification.

I think that you will find as you mature and grow older that who you are will be less and less what others think you are and that you will steadily and increasingly defy any classification in your own right.

So here's to individualism in all it's splendor and glory. May you be a person that you and those that you love can love and appreciate.

I'd say "prejudice" not "racism", but otherwise:
A kudos point for you.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at, thanks and right back at ya.

Give me some numbers here and I could probably put you in the "gamer' classification . I agree with you that classification is "they are based solely on appearance and are just another form of stereotypical prejudice." But there is glory in being a gamer because the glorious thing about gamers is we are made of many different classes and backgrounds. There is no "real" stereotype for a gamer and because so many people play video games as their primary source of entertainment noone can truly say being labled as a gamer is a bad thing. So did I make a decent attempt to classify you? Looking at your info up there It's surprising how much you resemble what I imagine I'll be when I'm older. Drop the glasses, drop the IQ a bit, drop the political beliefs and I'm not a father. Up height and weight a bit and BAM there you go I liked what you said about classes so Kudos point to you.
Edit: Nvm I didn't give you kudos cuz I already have at some other point in the past hehe.

And now for Paul Emil's special report on...
Homo Horribilis: The common spotted chav.

Found lurking in any modern city centre, the chav is easily identified by it's lurid clothes, terrible hair, awful music and smallpox scars. They typically group near restaurant chains, scavenging from the food dropped by other members of society. Chavs can often be found racing stolen cars, being under the impression that they can drive on account of doing it in a game. Thankfully, this is a common cause of death for them as they will kill themselves when they crash.

They are prolific breeders, a male (known as scum, oik, "die, chav bastard!", "stop thief!", "you're nicked, sunshine!") being capable of impregnating several females (known as slags) per month. Government legislature is attempting to deal with this relatively recent outbreak with the use of ASBOs, which restrict movement of the chav gangs, however the numbers of them are such that they are always underfoot. Chavs are known in the United States as white trash.

Common chav habits: rutting, drinking, smoking, fighting, theft, racing (and crashing) and random acts of murder
Common chav enemies: anyone not a chav (eg. you, me, etc...), other chavs

LOL thats funny and also very true.

Hmmmm interesting topic. I have been called a few things when I go to other places on holidays and the alike. I usually match with the majority, not because it is a trend, but because we have a lot in common. Some people assume my type burns down churches just because we are into Black Metal and wear dark colours. Yes, I grew my hair out like the rest, but it keeps the chilling wind off of our necks. I dont know what I would title myself as. I am just myself, really and damn proud of it!

Honestly, I think titles are terrible. They cause diversity where people cannot exist with eachother without someone making a rude comment. I am sick of situations where someone says "Ewww hes one of them you cant date him, because he is not trendy and rich" or "You cant be with me because we arent the same" I want to see the day when a "chav" and a "miss princess popular" are holding hands and getting along.

I'm in a class all by myself...not an ego thing, just pure confidense is all!

I personally HATE labels. At school, however, people call me "emo". I hate, and always have. hated the idea of being called emo, and even the word itself. I think they call me emo because I have gone through a battle with depression, and I write tons of lyrics that I guess other people call "emo".

Emo doesn't mean someone who is always depressed or is depressed emo actually is:

Close enough to punk and rock Emo is now know for it's more emotional state of mind. Instead of the anger hard-core way of expressing one-self , Emo (short for emotional) has taken a new tole on the twentith century of expressing yourself. From the music with strong emotion and feeling, unlike hard rock or this is more of an alternative way to let your feeling be known.

Not all emo people are cry babies or sucidial. Many emo kids come from families which are having serious issues whether it being money issues or what have you

Well, when I was a child growing up I was very much into morbid art, and often drew pictures of fantastic animals and demons. I loved the army, and I loved video games, and a love for animals and nature and all that jazz. In middle school I discovered "goth". This was before the emo era, thank god....But through high school I sort of threw away the teeny subculture aspects of it and adapted the real, pure form of it, which was more or less exactly true to my nature. So now as an adult I am what somewhat would classify as "goth" but I would much rather call it my "nature".

I don't want to explain the difference of "pure" goth and teeny subculture goth. And I don't want to get into how classifications are fairly immature and all that, but I agree at least. It's 3 am people. Ask me again later. {yawn}

Some things about me that may or may not coincide with gothic culture:

I like:
-Anything that can be classified as an art
-Opera/classical/techno-industrial-rave/choir music
-Black, red, purple, more or less everything in various amounts
-Vintage clothes (Victorian Lady)
-Corporate clothes (Sexy Secretary)
-Dragons, medieval/fantastical themes/animals
-Anything that moves
-World Mythology (and not just Roman)
-Small, convenient vehicles
-Unusual things
-see http://www.myspace.com/kungfubellydancer to see more about me

I dislike:
-Teeny subcultures (emo/socialite in particular)
-Rock/Rap/Hiphop/Pop music
-Yellow, Orange
-Showing too much skin
-Fake blond hair, hair dyed an unnatural color
-Teens
-Toddlers
-Hummers

Woo, we sure could use you in the Oblivion "I Like" and "I Hate" threads. You got some good stuff.
And to all, apologies for off topic. Please, don't beat me...

mostly harmless

i am all things, and yet i am nothing. i hung out with everybody, but i am attached to nobody. i do not care much for people, since they are usually all the same in the end. mostly i keep to myself and my family and CLOSE friends nowadays because people do not like me where i live (they think i am weird because i make everything myself, and invent new things to keep myself busy.)

i grow my own plants *cough* (currently attempting to get a license because i get extreme migraines quite often) so that i dont have to associate with pushers, and douchebags.

i would like to go to MIT so that i can become a weapons developer, or a robotics engineer.

i enjoy hunting, just so i can have a TON of deer jerky for the year
i enjoy completely dismantling and rebuilding cars, electronics, and whatever else i can get my hands on. i love finding out why and how things work.

I believe that Tesla left us something that we have yet to figure out.

i am joining the marines soon, just for fun.

nothing about me is unique, and i do not claim to be. all attitudes have been before.

i steal from all fashion scenes. i have an emo haircut (no, i no longer have my dreadlocks... cutting them off was the worst decision of my life.), wear gangsta hats, have normal jeans (low boot cut/modern,) and have DC shoes that are neon green/black (tomorrow i will have a pair of bright green converse that will soon be graffiti'd,) and i usually walk around with my DJ headphones connected to my hacked ipod 60gig 5g. i am not religious, or spiritual, though i enjoy exploring the philosophies of all religions, and individuals. my favorite color is green, and i love the smell of oranges.

there are probably quite a few people just like me in the world at this time, but i have never met any of them.

1 in more than a billion? i dont think so.



(OT: worm, i didnt know you had such a high IQ
i was told mine was 142, but i highly doubt it.)

Im a power hungry madman bent on destroying and taking over the world.

NO JOKE!!!

Misfit, but fine with that. I don't fit any slots, never did really. Now that I'm old, that's probably the slot most of you guys would tend to put me in.

I'd probably be a mix of gamer/geek, preppy, and punk. I don't like labels, though, and I wouldn't say that I'm leaning more towards any particular label or group.

No one is "old" myrmaad. No matter how old someone may be, theyre never old.

haha, arent we all?

i personally would rather destroy all life, instead of just the world. i just need to find something that will allow me to create black holes then i can destroy all.

Hmmmmm. What a coincidence. I too was into demons when I was a young child. I also had the soft side for animals. Some people call me gothic sometimes, but I never sacked Rome <----pun
If I "needed" to classify myself, It would lean to more of the "Black Metal" genre, than gothic.

The stupidest thing is when other "class" you after your looks, as if you have black hair and light skin your suddenly a emo, and if you wear pink your gay!

I don't know what to class my self as in English sins i am not from any English speaking country maybe you could give me a hand if you don't mind?

I like Motors, Guns, Rock 'n' Roll, cool army clothes, Coca Cola, and the Ladies ;P. ( and melons all kinds yes female to)

Biker!!

But yea, Tags by appearance suck!

Thank you thats perfect for me
