On Labels

Most people if you ask them will tell you in a heartbeat that they don't like labels, yet, everyone keeps labeling the others. "He is emo", "She is a prep", "Those are posers" etc. I must admit that I also label stuff. I label kitsch people, goth people, trendy people, I do it all the time and when I come to labeling myself I fail horribly. See, I went to a metal concert tonight. It was awesome and it's been three years since the last time I've been in one and I found myself getting into the forsaken track of the "metal chick ensemble". Black nail polish, smoky makeup, rings on all my fingers and boots. I might as well call myself a metalhead for the next few days but I know that in the first notes of "Suzie Q" I'll turn into a classic rocker that wants to shake, shake, shake. I know that I'll dive into Steampunk the next time I see a bodice or a cog. I know I will eventually return to the gothic dress style or an attempted goth style anyway since I can't afford "original" gothic clothes *cough*.

So what am I? When people ask me what kind of music I like I feel lost. I like, well, everything of quality. Greek people would understand which music genre I mean but there's that single one that I despise and I can't even listen to it if paid. I like gothic music but I also like metal, rock, industrial and steampunk music. It's a matter of time before I find yet another labeled genre to become a fan of. I don't even know why I am writing all of these, my feet hurt and it's late :)

PS- Clue of the night, Daniel asking us "Are you OK?" three times until we answered yes extremely loudly and then a person from the audience also asking "Are you OK?" Johan saying "Fuck yeah" loudly and Daniel wondering if we asked him "Are you gay" ROFLMAO
