Stereotypes

[naut]

Since I am soon to enter lamestream "society", (don't want 2 "grow up", want 2 stay young 4evr, want 2 b an alt "twenty something" chilling hard 4evr ), and leave my youthful uni days behind, it got me thinking what stereotypes y'all fit into now or in your past.

Me, I'm a humble indie kid, not as pretentious as a hipster, but just a little alt. I listen to bands you've never heard of, I have 3 sets of expensive headphones, I wear skinny jeans (most of which are stained with spray paint), my selection of vans are battered from wear, I have more ironic/graphic design/humourous t-shirts than you have hairs on your head (unless you're bald... which, I guess, it'd be more shirts than hairs on your back?).

New Englanders are generally rude, narrow minded and always in a hurry. I guess I am no different. The norm here, we are the pinacle of society as far as we are concerned.

My father thinks he's a southerner but the sad truth is he's a damnyankee from Conn.

I've only driven thru Hartford on the highway. Been north and to Rhode Island alot though. They say people from Massachusetts are bad drivers, but in my experience, Rhode Island is ten times worse!

I think I am fulfulling the stereotype of the angry, stingy Scotsman pretty well right now.

In terms of popular culture, I feel like I am a typical chav (not the new 'bling' type chav people seem to have an idea of btw) working a crappy job, that happened to go to University on the side.

I can't help it, I had to put on a suit for my graduation today and my family thinks it makes me look like a convict...

I've always thought people from back east seemed really grouchy. This kid from New York just got hired at my work, and for the first couple of days he kept commenting on how friendly everyone was.

As for me, I go for a punk look since that's my favorite music, I wear skinny jeans and band t-shirts. I hate fitting into stereotypes though so I've tried to make my style my own, I also have some nice button downs and polos that I wear.

Black = gangsta

Hispanics will shank you 37 times if you come within a three foot radius.

Asians are smarter than you

Whites eat McDonalds four meals a day

I visited Salt Lake City some years ago, and I must admit it was one on the nicest cities I've visited. People do seem to go out of their way to be friendly. To a New Englander: What is the motivation for this 'friendliness'?

Why are all your pants stained with spray paint?

I don't know what I'd be considered. I usually wear Dickies/blue jeans, t-shirts that have random things on them, and vans or converse.

[Samurai Waki]

I probably get labelled as a suit, considering I'm required to wear one from 9-5, 5 days a week. Off the job, I'm just a blue jeans and t-shirt kind of guy; don't really fit in any particular group.

Graffiti Street art.... giving artists a bad name since 2006.

Gah, this is a stereotype in itself!

There's nothing wrong with street art, as long as it's not just a case of mindless name tagging; something like this is the sort of graffiti I like to see... wish I could work on such a large canvas! :3

If you like street art, have you heard of Banksy?

Any ways, I'm your regular Italian-American New York City dweller.

Which automatically makes me connected to the mafia.
And who has an uncle who is in "waste management".

And of course, you can't forget the accent.


How YOU doin'?

Please marry me right now, would you?

Graffiti is not art

Graffiti is a pox

To me, it depends on what's been painted; someone's name mindlessly sprayed? Ugh. Something like the image I linked before... that's art, even if it isn't Louvre material. :P

If you like street art, have you heard of Banksy?

Yup, he's one of the reasons I became so interested in trying my stuff on a bigger scale.
