label

A word most teenagers don't know what it means. The real definition is "a descriptive term; an epithet."

An epithet, for those of you who don't know, is "A term used to characterize a person or thing, such as rosy-fingered in rosy-fingered dawn or the Great in Catherine the Great.
A term used as a descriptive substitute for the name or title of a person, such as The Great Emancipator for Abraham Lincoln.
An abusive or contemptuous word or phrase."

Now look closely at the sentence, "An abusive or contemptuous word or phrase." Isn't that what labels really are?

Labels characterize people. Most people today think labels are basically cliques of people, but it's not. You can hang out with whoever you want, and still be considered a certain label. I dunno about you, but if you would just be yourself, a descriptive term would come up; (otherwise known as a label) INDIVIDUAL! You can't get away from labels. They're a part of life. Deal with it.

-Constance

Deal with it if someone calls you a prep or a nerd. Take it as a compliment and still be yourself. If you want to talk about this, IM me on AIM at ccglasses19.

A label is the cotton thing inside an item of clothing they are usually 100% cotton however you may have some polyester ones. They make a good sound when you rub them together, so you should do that.

“Hey, have you got a label I want to listen to one?”

a way ignorant people group together a bunch of people before you know them. aka predjudice. why judge someone by what music they happen to be listening to when you walk by or what they are wearing? this is a way to give truly unique people a reputation before you even know their name.

Ignorant idiot: Look! That kid's wearing black! They must obvilously be goth!
Me: wtf?! y r u using a label on that poor innocent kid?

I'm not talking about the supermarket brand labels but instead the every day, more common one. It's given to kids based on their appearance, music they listen to and how they talk. The most common labels today are: prep, gothic, punk, emo, jock, etc. Now in days, kids are label themselves because it makes them feel "cool." You find it a lot in AIM screenames like EmoKid, PunkBaby, PreppySlut.

Dude, I'd label you as a prep for sure!

1. Some cofusing ass shit that makes no sense what so ever
and causes people to become wannabes so they can fit
into certain crowds.
2. A way for people to tell you who you are.

1. Hey emo is in so I guess I'll cut my wrist and black
my eyes then I'll be popular
2. Labeler: Hey, you're punk cause you wear mohawks and
go to shows and like NOFX
Me: Hey, fuck you

Label

The necessary part of life as a teenager in school or anywhere really...if you don't label yourself to fit in with a particular group of people, then no one really gives 2 hoots about you. After high school, you then realize what you have done with yourself. Often, those who label themselves deny the fact that they are trying to represent a certain image. It is common that music determines who you are.

It is also the paper/plastic wrap on a bottle, or any other product.

*scene kid walks by*

Hey, what do they call that hair style you have?

Scene kid: Uh...I dunno

What do you consider yourself, your style?

Scene kid: I don't label myself

*walks off in his skinny jeans, bandana hanging out of pocket etc...into the rest of the crowd of scene kids*

The label's peeling off of the water bottle.

2)That little white tag on the back of those sweatshop made clothes
