Ok, I have a friend, and she's obsessed with image. She loves labeling people. She goes "goth hunting", and loves to argue over whther tpeople are goths, grebs etc. etc.
So, she goes through phases first she was glam, then she was goth, then she was cyber no she's going for spaceboy (don't ask me I don't have a clue). When she's in each image she only listens to those bands - eg. when she was in her goth phase I lent her Bahaus, Joy Division, Cure, Siouxie, Sisters of mercy etc., and she proceded to ridicule all music that wasn't "goth"
In other words to her music is inherently linked to image. Does this piss ne1 else off? I mean, people should listen to music because they love the music, not cos it makes them look cool. They are missing out on so much......
Does ne1 else have any friends like this? Why is image so important to them? Why are the so obsessed that they want to be labelled, and don't believe people will judge them on who they are, not what they look like?
But what pisses me off most about this is she is a lovely person, its just when she thinks it will suit her image she decides she's (in her own words) - "A very cold person emotionally, I hate it when people are angsty" Which is completely untrue.... So basically why?
This doesn't sum up very well how intensely annoying it can be...
