i was wondering.....do u like being labelled? as in people calling u punk, goth,
pirky, nice.....stuff like that just by the way u dress or act? does this bother
u? when someone gives u a name to be referred by? in my opinion i don't really
like it.....cuz i like black but that doesn't make me a goth or anything like
that...cuz i'm kinda really hyper.... but yeah i can understand if people don't
mind it and stuff. so i would like a reason to ur answers too.....haha ain't i
picky
No becasue it tells everyone what "catagorey" you belong in. You might
as well let them stamp a big permanant tatto on your head telling everyone what
they think of you. By them I mean those
whos social rank is higher than yours.
I hate labeling so much... I wear black and have long hair.... I am constantly
labelled Emo. I am a indepth thinker but think to you guys instead of school
friends. I am able to sit there and "Think" for ages so people will
consider me emo cause its like a sulk. Another label. which is an odd one is
Ninja, due to my studies I am rather acrobatical and therefor people question my
challenges physicaly. There like, hey Kea, if you can't run up that tree and
grab the branch your not a ninja. Its annoying in its way... Cause I know I am
not a full ninja. I miss so many traits and training. But I enjoy to see myself
of a ninja that is wots left of them... Labelling i find is an easy way of
knowing or get to know people. Which is good and bad. like if you ever go to a
new school there are many different groups of people, the nerds, the jocks, the
emo's, the skataz, the flathats. and so on. and normally those double up and
stuff. and just by your looks depends where you end up. You don't need to do
anything but just how u look can instantly make you many enemies and friends...
For me, I recently went to a new school last year. I already had a friend so I
"Joined" them. We are considered the everybodies. Cause we got even
label except flat hats and skataz. and its amazing to identify how your enemies
and allies are. Its interesting to look at how they work and how the decide to
hate us just because our music is metal and there's is rap, and our undershirts
are black and there's are white, and we have no hat yet they where flat hats.
Hope this was interesting.
PS, how do u start your own topics?
i really really dont like being labeled ....when someone does that, its like
theyre disrespecting you based on your appearance and thats not right because
everyone deseves some amount of respect
I don't like the labeling system because people rely too much on the assumptions
behind the "titles". It is unfair because it puts you in a place where
someone won't even bother to get to know you because you are "labeled"
as "this or that". They think the people in "this and that"
group conform to "this or that" lifestyle which makes it unlikely that
someone will step outside their "title" and figure out otherwise for
themselves.
"labels are for cans, not people." ~some guy in the deviantART forum.
I'm not a can. I look "goth," I look "punk," sometimes I
even look like what I hate, and that's "prep." I look like a lot of
labels, but I'm not any of them. A girl in my humanities class (who needs to
leave me alone btw) made the mistake of calling me a "punk rocker."
Yes, I like punk rock, yes, I look like a rocker, but no, I'm not a punk rocker.
It's like wearing a shock collar; if you do/say/wear something that does quite
fit with what the label demands, you get jilted by your peers. Why bother with
that?
There are only two labels in the world that I don't object to: band geek and
otaku. I am a band geek because I was in marching/concert/jazz band in high
school and I loved every moment of it. Otaku, obviously. I don't feel
constrained by these two labels because I can share band camp stories with other
band geeks and discuss Anime with other fans without confusing anyone.
no i hate it...being labelled means that people are judging you before they get
to know who you really are.... simply based on how you dress or who you hang out
with...that isn't right, it pisses me off....one time some girl on my school bus
asked me what i was listening to when i had my headphones on... when i told her
it was evanescence, she looked at me funny and said "oh so do you want to
kill yourself or something?" i couldn't believe she had said that, she
thought she could figure me out based on what music i listen to....maybe this
incident has nothing to do with labelling, and everything with that girl's
ignorance or something....i'm not really sure....
(sniffle) the girl sound like a meanie i love evanescence...... anywho well in
my school they kind of do the same thing. if u like rock or something else from
rap or hip hop they would think u don't have good taste in music and thinks ur a
weirdo and stuff. that pisses me off.
Well, labels seem kinda disrespectful in my opinion. Not to mention that
labeling usually is just judged by a person's appearence.. which isn't a really
good way to judge people.
Em, I hate being labelled and labelling someone...but, i'm quite a lil evil if
the person is really annoying me...haha..pervert
Well, personally i've not been labelled by someone but If I'm with my 'crazie'
frens they called us the NOSY GIRLS...
I don't mind it. If your against 400+ people that call you something (in my case
the "quiet" guy), then I can't go to all of them and say: stop
labeling me. Just one of many facts stereotypes exists in the world.
Not exactly... it's just that sometimes the label is pretty much the complete
opposite of who you really are. Sometimes it gets irritating too if it is used
for discrimination.
i can't say because if i was labeled im sure nobody would come up to me and say
it. So im proably secreatly being labeled just like everybody else in the world.
other then that i dont realy know.
labeling just makes it easy for people to assume that they know how you are
already just by looking at you. look at me. i love emo music. i like the band
shirts, the studded belts, and of course, the converses. however, everyone's
like, "why are you emo? do you slit your wrists?" no, it's just not
right. i'm crazy, yes, but i don't fit all that well in the "emo"
mold. everyone is unique, and labelling just makes it that much more difficult
to get to know somebody, who just might be your next best friend.
No because it's annoying. I'm not just one label, I'm several and you can't
really place one on me so if you feel you need to look down on me because you
think I belong in agroup I don't want to hear it because I porbably belong in
yours too. I find it ridiculous to associate one label with people are so
diverse.
oh no, thats just annoying. but I think people have this need to label other
people.
The worst whit being labeled is that people seem to get angry if tou dont act
like they thought you would act by the way you look.
lol! omg sorry but that reminded me when i started middle school and natashie
thought i was a shy, nice, caring, smart person.....lol she was so wrong lol!
omg sorry but ya
Labelling sucks It not only includes "punk," "emo," etc. but
also "white," "asian," etc. I agree with those who say that
it's like assuming you know someone from the way they dress.

Personally I dont like it either.....its like disrespecting someone. For me when someone doesn't give you respect you make them respect you. =D

i dont like it, but i dont like that much of anything... but i dont really care if they do label me...
I don't wear any <i>type</i> of closing because of that,
I like Metal, but I don't dress in BLACK, because I'm not like most of those
people that wear black and just say: Life sucks. Life this and that ..
SO, I wear, Whatever I want, whenever I want, not any type specific
And problem solve,
+plus I don't label myself
