Subculturey people on WP?

Post Reply New Topic

Well I cannot be the only one here who considers themselves part of one, I am a metalhead...though I do enjoy a lot of psychedelic music, punk, post punk, goth rock ect. But yeah I don't just listen to metal I am very much into it and the surrounding subculture...though there are people who listen to metal but think metalheads are 'lame' for being so obsessed with it. So anyone else? and if so what subculture do you mostly identify with?

I dunno.....maybe grunge, although I don't really like the term grunge, just a record label term for a loose association of some really good musical acts from Seattle that got widely copied. I play a lot of video games and really enjoy certain ones for their stories, but I haven't really gotten into the overall gaming culture, which I find to somewhat pretentious at the least. I'm a naturalist I guess, I like to hike, run, climb, and am currently majoring in an Earth Science major of Geology. I mostly just do what I want, don't really have boundaries on my interests.

Mod with a dash of Hippie
ASD
LGBT
Post Genderism

Mod with a dash of Hippie seems to be my dominant one.

Foodie/eco-person - as in being into cooking, growing stuff, involving myself in eco-food distribution, trying to live eco-friendly.

It's fairly common these days, but so are metalheads. Or they used to be.

When I was a teen I wanted to be goth. I kind of failed at that because I couldn't find the right clothes. I'm still pretty angry about that. I bet I could have had more friends. Instead I just looked like a "cute shy girl".

Right now I enjoy wearing vintage clothes and I have blue hair. I don't know if I really fit into a subculture. Mainly because it's now trendy to have crazy hair colors . I hope people think I'm part of a subculture instead of just some trend follower.

I'm also queer. I just don't think I look queer even with my blue hair.

well....passing through rome
been in a pair, a lot is uuuhhmm fishy
I'm my own subculture I suppose
when not meeting subcultural standards
seeing through the prick-ness of subs
drunks beating the s**t out of drunks for two cents
'decent' people lying and cheating as the common junk
alternativies call me ******** and hang out in flocks/
but confuse going by routines and not selfjubilate
with commonness
I don't come in groups

like devilkisses, never really dressed right
lol, eg liking punk before it got main, then being boohed out of a concert (with some)
bc not fashionly dressed, irony

My primary identity is ASD, then writer, Brit, synaesthete, and college grad.

Yes I did belong to a subculture, although I didn't realise it at the time.

I hung around with teenagers a lot when I was a lot younger than they were and they identified with the skinhead image so I grew up identifying with that as well.

I now go for the more clean cut "mod" look.

Music wise, I'll listen to any old shite.

The thing is, subcultures can sometimes be even more restrictive than the mainstream. There were subcultures I was attracted to as a teenager, but those people would never have accepted me. My opinions weren't right, and my clothes certainly weren't.

Classic arcade gaming, here. The 1up barcade is basically my second home. Hoping to start collecting machines in my basement soon.

I like a splatter of bands all the way from rock to punk to really emo hardcore to death metal.. It sorta complicates music taste-based friend circles. I never leave the house without my jacket, it looks like a punk jacket but band stuff is from all the music i like not just punk. I like meeting people through music because theyre all weird like me

American Roots Rock. Kind of a modern Hillbilly, I suppose.

In my teens I was into the punk scene, but I stood out because I didn't dress like a punk (didn't see the point of dressing up, when what really matters is what's going on inside your mind) would go to the concerts in button shirts and jump into the mosh pit--once even made the mistake of wearing a white shirt.

I went to a Math and Science High School, but hung out with the stoners and drug makers/users at the school and into college. After college I didn't really hang out with any subculture groups until I moved to a place with an active gaming community and store where we could play.
