I'm So Tired of All The Clones
It seems that everywhere I look nowadays, people are following that damn 'emo/scene' trend. It's sickening, it really is.
I see all the guys wearing their all black, their super tight skinny jeans, having their emo or scene hair. God, even the poses in the pictures are all the same! A shot from above. The mirror picture. It's all the same.
And the girls. Their heavy raccoon eyeliner, the black eyeshadow. Sometimes another color. But always alot of it. That SAME choppy haircut. The same picture poses too.
And you know what the most sickening thing about it is? People actually find it attractive. It's 'sooo sexy'. They have 'awesome hair'. Blah dee freaking blah. I'm sorry, but I fail to see the appeal in having everyone look the same. It is in no way, at all, attractive. I think they all look the same. I can't tell them apart. Nor do I want to even try, quite honestly. And many of the clones claim to be original. There's nothing original about them. They're just a copy of a trend.
I don't, nor will I ever, claim to be 100% original. God knows I'm not. But what I can say is that I've stayed true to myself. I've never become one of the clones. I don't have the trendy haircut, I don't wear the horrid amounts of make-up, I don't wear the skinny jeans. I've retained a sense of individuality.
Maybe I'm all wrong about this. Who knows? Maybe the people actually feel comfortable and feel like themselves when they dress like/do their hair like/wear the clothes of/pose for pictures in this trend. But you know what? I don't care. Maybe I should. But I don't. They all look like clones. A mindless little robot doing the same exact thing that everyone else is. It makes me want to gauge my eyes out.
This will probably offend alot of people, considering I've seen quite a few people like this on GSB. I couldn't care less. If anyone gets pissed off at this, my response to them is: I'd rather gag myself with a knife than be another clone and be anything other than myself.
No one can be 100% original in their style. I'm not. But at least I'm not 100% identical in it to anyone else either.
My advice to these clones is to just do what suits you, and if that's to continue following this trend- go for it, but stay true to yourself if you know who that is.
If you lost yourself in trying so hard to be this trendy emo/scene person, all I can say is to do what makes YOU feel good, and eventually you'll find yourself and become an individual again.

I agree.
They think they are unique. When they look the same. I can't even tell the guys from girls sometimes.
I just wanna go and say 'Yah,you're unique,just like everyone else.'

everyone has done everything before us, will do everything after us - a quote from my mom, modified by me(the part after the comma). You're right. You made me feel like a clone XD. though i still try, like you, to retain some individuality (1. no skirts, i dont have any anymore. 2. no mascara), though i do have a thing for thick black eyeliner and reddish pink eyeshadow XD, butt i hardly ever wear a sidefringe...i dont have straight hair, but i agree with every word you said.

I agree. I do see all these so-called "scene kids" around. They are always boasting how different they are- but mostly, tis all the same.
I just wear whatever I like. I don't really care whether it's in fashion- even if it is.
I admit though I do wear a heap of black eyeliner and eyeshadow. Not so much that I look like a panda or raccoon, thank goodness! Most of my clothes consist of black t-shirts with stuff on them, jeans (skinny, normal, ripped, stonewashed- blah, who even cares???) and my one black skirt and leggings. Top that off with a heap of weird things I string around my neck and wrists (like the first thing I ever made in D&T- a red lightning bolt acrylic keyring) and you have me.
I do not claim to be 100% original either, but I will safely say I'm not a clone.

I agree. I mean nobody is 100% original. There's always somehow going to be a similarity. I dunno what to say cause I don't wanna piss anybody off, but I really agree.

Spiking your hair up in the shower with shampoo? Haha, I didn't need to know that, but okay. :)
And vonny, I know what you're saying. I wear my normal jeans, with whatever shirt I feel like... and even though it's usually a band tee, and I don't cake my eyes full of eyeliner. I use it, but I don't wind up looking like the living dead or a raccoon.

I haven't tried to have scene hair in my life, and f*ck i'm so glad. =D
But i do have the odd confession of spiking my hair up in the shower with shampoo. =D

Thank GOD somebody said this. The whole emo/scene thing is getting old. People should give it a rest. I hate it now.
And, they probably look at me like I'm so untrendy, with my semi-flared jeans and my long blonde hair. -_-
My sister told me the other day that what I wear suits me, suits the type of person I am.
Meh.

i actually agree kind of. I understand about how a lot of the 'emo' peeps are identical, but so are alot of other people, the 'muzza's' of Melbourne all act the same, and genreally piss me off whrn they =ump up the volume of their sh*tty mucis with a didgy bass line and drive through your neighbourhood at 2 in the morning, but sh*t happens. I had a long side fringe for a couple of months, but then i realised that it kinda looked like eveyone else, so i pinned it up, and have kept it like that ever since.

Ooooh.
I have those I do it cause it's trendy people.
I wanna poke them with a pointed stick.
germma margaret!, March 29th, 2007 at 03:29:16am
Then you, are not one of the people I'm talking about.
I'm talking about those who do these things ONLY because it is trendy.
:)

Yes, I have a choppy haircut.
Yes, I wear eyeliner.
Yes, I like the 'scene kids'
And yes, I take photos mainly in the same pose.
But all that doesn't make me a clone.
I have my OWN opnion.
I'm not one to follow masses of trends.
I've had that choppy haircut since my 10th birthday, It was my present.
I am who I am, And I like who I am.
I'm not sure if it's different in Adelaide,but, girls here don't find emo boys hot.
They don't have short choppy hair, It's long with a side fringe that's ever so trendy.
And their pose include anything that squishes their tits together.
The boys are just macho men wannabies with peroxcide hair.
But, we all have different opnions.
And if ours are different, You'll still be my Boobie bud!
=D

Honestly, I don't think emo hair looks awesome at all. I think it looks quite stupid. But hey, that's just me.
Teenage.Assassin, March 29th, 2007 at 03:09:36am
hmm...agreed...i mean i wear really thick eyeliner and have black hair that goes over my eyes...but i'm different, haha i don't wear tight clother...baggy all the way!! but all of the "hawt" guys at the school have "emo" hair and i find it hilarious cause they are quite ugly underneath it XD but the 'emo' style hair looks awesome but not for me i like my pig tails =] nice blog by the way
Xx_<3 Nutteh

I get it. You like the style. You feel good in it, but you don't absorb yourself in it and try to live your life just to be one of them- you stayed true to yourself.
Teenage.Assassin, March 29th, 2007 at 03:07:42am
I have to say i totally Agree with every word there.
YES i am a totall poser coping everything most of them do
but i know i'll never be internet famous.
i had a somewhat rant about that yestoday lol.
But yeah i agree all the way with it all.
I still dont know who i am but when i look in the mirror when im dressed up all ~scene~ with the make up and clothes for once i think i look somewhat pretty.
i feel good in my pjs but i feel pretty-ish in the whole ~scene~ look and i dont try being like alotta em out there.
