I like dressing sharp when I go out anywhere important (not formal, but not laid-back casual either). I don't wear much jewelry (on white guys too much bling just looks sleazy and cheap) just a nice watch and my old HS class ring. (I also carry a pen and paper at all times in case i get a chick's phone number that's worth saving.) If I would consider myself anything, it would be a man of class and taste.

I keep my hair natural color, and kind of loose (you've seen my picture) and I usually listen to rock. Anything but nu metal will do, but i prefer good '80s hair metal the most. (mostly good songs from whitesnake, motely crue, bon jovi, etc. ) I also like some good old-school salsa music occasionally (The Maria Cochita "Vamos a Bailar" song from the scarface soundtrack is especially one of my favourites, b/c i love how the rythym and beat goes)

They (the tribes) all seem pretty similar to me, and I'm so far away from them all that there isn't one even remotely like me listed there.

------------------
Have a good one,
Freelancer

I listen to Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, the Beatles, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and Louie Armstrong, among others. My hair is about an inch long, uncombed or styled, and is naturally dark brown, almost black, with too many gray hairs for a person of my age. My usual costume is black pants and a gray shirt, or blue denim pants and a black shirt. I wear black sneakers. I don't wear any jewelry, although I have a silver watch that hangs from my belt loop on my pants. I have no piercings or body markings. I read lots of books, and watch the History Channel almost exclusively. my favorite movies are It's A Wonderful Life, What About Bob, and Ferris Buellers Day Off. I am somewhat popular among my peers, although a bit reclusive, and remain relatively unkown. Older people respect me, and find me very likable. I am intrisically mean and sarcastic, rude, and a bit sadist, although I try to act nice.

I do not fit into any categories. Someone needs to make one up for me, and people like me.

------------------
Empty.

I'm on my own.

My hair is long, I listen to old electronic music (Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream), heavy metal and anything what sounds good for me.

I don't fit into any of those categories.

Obviously the people who made this are brain damaged, they're forgetting the inescapable "Normal" option. "Normal" being the "huge group" that "comprises" everybody who "isn't a moron" and "doesn't identify themselves by the kind of music they listen to."

God forbid someone would just wear a tee shirt and normal-fitting jeans and maybe, just maybe, occasionally listen to techno, game and movie soundtracks.

Indie when it comes to fashion (before the changeover I was moderately goth).

When it comes to music, I can digest pretty much anything as long as it isn't sleazy pop/Finnish iskelmä/crappy loud metal/nu metal/hip hop and rap (with the exception of some good old school stuff like Public Enemy and Arrested Development and the NOTABLE exception of Trip Hop which I absolutely love)

People who get murdered are victims, people who get killed in war are casualties and people who don't get killed at all are just plain boring. -Said by me-

In my dream world people wear trenchcoats and piss on sanity's grave.

Ready Monoxide's post - that's kinda like me. Listen to anything I deem "Good or worthy". Wear what is comfy, and vaguely fashionable. Mainly to be seen wearing shorts in cold weather. Own ten watches, 6 of them are Swatch.

Also, could be branded at first look as "Student" due to semi-scruffiness about Durham, and the fact I'm usually carrying a shoulder bag full of notes.

I would post a pic, but am far too lazy to drag out my digicam, and haven't had a shower yet due to the fact I'm reading a book and it's saturday.

Wow that was longer than I meant it to be!

This is a thread for the people in the streets not the people in city hall.

Continue the modified Tenacious D song if you wish with lyrics that suit the thread.

I resent that.

I don't really fit any of the groups.

I guess i'm a mix of all but Clubber, Soulstreet and Townie.

Nobody would want to admit to being a Townie/Chav. Actually, theres an amusing site about them here: http://www.chavscum.co.uk/

Oh and down here at least, the term pikey refers to a gypsy/traveller.

Depends on where you are. I've heard Scallies, Townies, Pikies etc. I've heard of Scallies mainly from the Liverpool area.

Hahah, I'm almost exactly what Jon`C said. White T-shirt, dark blue jeans, techno music and soundtracks.

I listen to Techno, Industrial Metal and New Age. My hair does what it wants to, and I don't usually mess with it.

Blown away by the force of the word, woken up by the sound of the siren. It's genocide.

I usually wear jeans and a t-shirt. I listen to everything from Classical Music To Heavy Metal. None of these categories apply to me, so I didnt choose any.

In york they're most certainly townies. In Durham, they tend to get called Scallies...

If you're in deepset, darkest areas of York, you may hear such dirty words as Charva, or even *gasp* Cliftonite, or Clifton-ding.

But I stick with townies, and tend to swerve my lil car dangerously near them if I see any....

Mwuahahahaaahaahh!!

Wise men say that fools rush in where angels fear to tread, so look before you leap, so to speak, because the grass is not always greener on the other side of the hill.

Hm, let's see. I listen to everything from John Denver to NIN to Yonder Mountain String Band to Meatloaf to Rorschach Test to Irish Rovers to Fleetwood Mac to Kittie to Cake to Verucca Salt to Concrete Blonde to They Might Be Giants to Offspring to Pulp to the Pixies to Wumpscut to String Cheese Incident to Snake River Conspiracy to.......

I dress like.. i buy my clothes at a thrift store. This is for two primary reasons: 1; they are comfortable. and 2; i can actually afford them. I can buy groceries for a month on what it would cost to get a name-brand shirt and pair of pants..

However i am basically Irish.. and.. tinkerish.. so perhaps i'm a Pikey, and not in the wearing bling-bling and basebal caps sense..

No signature for you.

Your chav infestation is nothing more than the product of American pseudo hip-hop culture transplanted to Britain. I see it all the time. Your description of chavs is exactly the same as we have here, only since it originated here, it isn't as out of place.

Well, I like to think I'm a little like Randall Graves from the movie Clerks (minus the whole hermaphrodidic porn thing): antisocial, laid back, and a bit of a *******.

Some of you should learn to think a bit and discover - *gasp* - that someone can dislike Michael Moore, Kerry, and Bush!

American hip-hop guys sometimes pass off as cool, but only if they're black. Black guys are very good at looking cool, but white people have to try a little harder. Whitey American hip-hop guys look silly, but not as downright stupid as British chavs.

and oh, the corrupted east london dialect that accompanies it.

The letter "t" seems to be illegal. A proper modern cockney accent (none of this "evenin guvnah!" stereotyping) is quite enjoyable to listen to, and is really friendly and warm. The Estuary chav dialect though makes me weep. It's horrible to listen to, and is horribly popular among young teenagers and pre-teens.

Also, I figured the whole "music = social group" was more prominently American thing. Yes, it exists in Britain, but social class has and still is important in what social groups people fit in to. Whereas the music thing is really a passing phase, and can also change at a whim, the social class thing in Britain is somewhat more permanent, and will likely specify what job you'll get and people you'll hang around with (whether you'll go to a pub or a cocktail party).

A Goth is a Punk in a morgue.

Errr...none of the above. I'm probably somewhere in between Grunger and Indie, except I try to avoid looking scruffy.

(sorry, he's not goth, he's emo)

I dress vaguely punk, but really really toned down punk. My music tastes are really wierd, as I listen to everything from System to B.N.L. I'm just kind of alternative, I guess.
