the world would go to shit if we all stereotyped people all the time....imagine crossing boarders and stuff and having the hardest time in the world just cause you like to listen to a different type of music. People take everything way too far and just need to relax and embrace everything. You should tallk to more people and stuff though King King Bong or whatever. Maby then you would realize that all people have personalitys and arent just about one thing.... maby if you actually took the time too know people they wouldnt all seem the same.
the world is already in the shitter my friend. i was speaking from societys standpoint. i know many types of different people and i know they have personalities BUT are those personalities really theirs or the personality of that group/stereotype. i have noticed a lot of those personalities are the same which led me to ponder this very thought of judgement and labels. hey im cool with everyone as long as they are cool with me but i often find myself on the cutting board cuz i am comfortable with myself and belong to no group/label. they always say why do i do this, why do i do that. its simple, because i can. ones that are themselves are always attacked by these groups/labels. i have taken the time to know these people and i keep gettin the same results thus proving my theory.

If you can look at someone wearing burberry and a tracksuit, and you instantly think "chav" then you're better equipped to deal with that person's actions because you can associate them with other chavs you've met, and you have a vague idea of what to expect from them.
For example, if I walk through a group of chavs one day, and get hassled by them and pissed off then the next time I'm walking along and spot a group of chavs up ahead, I'm gonna expect them to behave like the last lot and try to avoid putting myself in a situation where I'm gonna get hassled. Maybe they were different, maybe they were gonna be cool chavs, but I can quite happily accept the fact that I might not find that out because it also means I wouldn't find out if they were complete dicks, just like the last lot.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think we ought to label people and then stick fiercely by those labels and refuse to let the people show what they're really like. That's stupid! But whether I've labelled a person as "chav", "goth", "emo" or "John Doe", they're still gonna have to prove that they're a decent person before I'm gonna want to hang out with them.
