This is a question Things we do to fit in

"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."

What have you done to fit in?

Yes,
you are all individuals, with your non-conformist clothes that everyone wears, and your love of bands that no one has ever heard of except all your mates, but hey, you heard of them first, and your eyeliner, yeah, that sticks it to a System which picks on people daring to be different, and no one gets your humour except 100,000 other people on the Internet, and you're, like, totally against war and commercialism and mundanity because you care, unlike everyone else, and you wear Converse because you don't need to try and fit in.

Yeah, you're truly unique.

Hmmm...
Sounds like time for a "stab the life out of a bunch of morons" road-trip.
You're driving.

That's fine,
I can drive and stab at the same time if we slow down on the approach.

Just you leave the stabbing to me.
You're welcome to run 'em down though.

I guess the plus side is we won't need to pack sandwiches.
I've been waiting for an excuse to indulge in a little cannibalism.

EDIT: Assuming those shit-bags actually count as people.

I had roadkill for Christmas dinner.
It wasn't human roadkill though.

Ram-raiding a turkey farm doesn't count.

That's next Christmas dinner sorted.
Though I was thinking bigger. Maybe a deer?
Or a human.

I'm thinking of starting
A Christmas Charity.

Feed-A-Hobo.

Thing is, there're lots of orphans, and at Christmas time we should think of them.
I know I'll have them on my mind as I carve them up into roastable chunks with a chainsaw, then feed 'em to tramps.

Er
Feed a hobo to what now?

Is that a description of emos or hipsters?
I can't tell. But it's pretty accurate either way.

Also I like Converse. Not because I don't need to try and fit in, but because I like the pretty colours.

Well,
emos/hipsters/b3tans/elite indie rock types/anyone who considers themselves different.

(What is a hipster?)

A be-bop jazz beatnik on the outskirts of society
with a penchant for French literature and Gauloises fags.


You may have heard them referred to as 'twats'.
(, Fri 16 Jan 2009, 13:55, closed)
not anymore.
Hipster no longer refers to those people.
(, Sat 17 Jan 2009, 9:01, closed)
hipsters
Big headphones, big hair, americal apparel, vice magazine, adults with skateboards, urban outfitters, fixed wheel bicycles, shoreditch, vinyl, leggings

Fantastic!
It's funny because 'indie' means 'individual'.

Really?
I always assumed it refered to the bands being on independant labels

You're probably right,
but that's what I was told.

Actually you were right,
Wikipedia told me so.

Fuckin A!
The two questions I always remeber from secondary school: what football team do you support and what is your favourite band?

Answers: football is shit and I just listen to the radio. Pigeonhole me now, fucknut!

The two questions I remember from secondary school are:
what the fuck are you looking at you four-eyed swot, and why don't you just fuck off?

You preempted my rant in a frickin reply! Meh, I did it anyway.

Hey!
I wear converse, because they're comfy and I don't mind ruining them by plodging in rivers :]
(, Fri 16 Jan 2009, 14:18, closed)
I wear Converse too
But they cost too damn much these days to ruin them by plodging in rivers.

A good friend of mine
criticised me recently because I had common-esque shoes. She wears converse etc.
But for feck's sake I can only buy what I like and are for sale!
Erm, yeah. What I just said was relevant. You may go.
(, Fri 16 Jan 2009, 14:39, closed)
i did hear them first!
and i don't listen to them now because, like, they've totally sold out and i've been with them since the begining and their fans are now just people who don't really understaaaaand!

i hate my faux-individual music snob friends :)
