Nah. There's still hair we can style to fit into certain scenes.


Tiedye: This scenster clique thing's been going on in music forever. It isn't anything new. However, everyone grows out of it. No one remains a junglist/trancer/b-boy/punk/mod/cowboy/metalhead/swing kid/etc forever. They either expand their musical tastes and adapt a more fluent, casual style where they can fit into a variety of scenes comfortably, or burn-out/move on with their lives.

Honestly, I haven't seen any partier in town here that's over 30 and wouldn't seem out of place in any environment. There may still be a few hold-outs, but they seem quite rare.

In brief: Let the kids play dress-up. They'll look back at their younger pictures with disbelief and embaressment anyways.

The punk scene is the same way in Van. I'd get ragged on for wearing the clothes I wear on a daily basis to a show. Even though I was giving it in the moshpit as hard as anyone else and loved the music as much as anyone of them, because I didn't look the part I received nothing but disrespect. I just didn't "fit in" with the crowd because I'm not the kind of person to define myself by the standards that they perceive deem a person worthy of taking part in the culture.

But I seem to be the only one in this thread that sees a problem with it.

Why don't you go shopping and buy some clothes that you can 'fit in' with?

I don't dress like 'junglist, metalhead, punk' etc. Yet I go to all those events. I'm sure people are looking at me with disapproving looks the entire time I'm there. The difference is I don't give a shit. I am who I am, I listen to what I listen to. And if people aren't going to be my friend because of the shirt I'm wearing... then they are fucking lame.

I'm sorry you are so easily influenced that this has become such an issue to you. I truly feel sorry for you.

PS Ties rule... :)

i heard they cant dance very good

[ppcock]

i heard junglists dont shower.

[crookedking]

when did hippies become junglists?

[ppcock]

i see lots of hippies sport the junglist gear.. dreads and all.

[crookedking]

now only do you see them but you also smell them.

[Erin]

You mean you can smell a junglist from a mile away?

[ppcock]

smell more for sure.

[crookedking]

a mile away? that's only if you're upwind.

[Erin]

I'm going to roll in dog poo before the next jungle show. Then I'll fit in.

[crookedking]

that was just gross erin. gross. totally uncalled for.

[ppcock]

now you're thinking.

be sure that you've taken a lot of jib so you fit the junglist stereotype. oh and dont forget to get into many fights.

[Erin]

I have to buy a castro to.

I love how Tim thought this was gross, and Marty loved it...

I had a friend who had a camo belt one time!

I said "Cool camo belt"

He said "Its not camo, its Junglist!"

True Story!

[Erin]

I have a camo belt. I'm throwing it away as we speak.

I don't want to fit a stereotype.

my bad, i totally lost track of what was going on! Please dont beat me!

[Erin]

What if his friend rolled around in dog shit while wearing a junglist belt?

[crookedking]

beating you with a piece of dog shit is something that a junglist would do. you're lucky that i'm old fashioned and just use my fists.
