Things created by man and hated by man. You perceive others the way you want to perceive them. Don't claim to hate labels if you are so quick to toss them around or come up with one for yourself. People don't label themselves as things.. you do.
Girl 1- "Noo that boy's all gothic and shit."
Person talking to Girl 1 a few days later:
Person- "Soo... you're like a prep?"
Girl 1- "I don't like labels."
HA

that thing that tells you what you're picking up.
Or those words we all call each other like geek, nerd, dork, emo, jock, scene, prep, goth, punk, druggie... and so on.
Look up the words scene, emo, or goth up on this website and what do you get? either
1. Those fags that go to concerts all the time, wear makeup, no matter if you're a boy or girl, look down on everyone, wear skinny jeans, act depressed when there is really nothing wrong with them or their life, and are not unique at all.
2. Someone who is depressed, not understood at all, hates life, wears black, sees life differently than everyone else. Wears tight shirts, very very tight shirts.
Now look up jock or prep and you get
1)A dumbass who looks down on everyone, has sex only with cheerleaders, beats everyone besides other jocks up.
2)a slut who is followed by a group of 2-4 other clones that all look the same, wears all pink all the time, has sex constantly and a IQ with 2 digits. Always blonde.
3) a person who shops at Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, and other highly expensive stores.
4) a person who wears polo's tennis skirts or khakis. A person who gets everything because of their money. Insanely rich and flaunts it.
OR even look up geek, nerd, dork and you get
1) someone who is not very smart but enjoys playing video games, being on the internet, and avoiding the social world at all costs.
2) someone who is overly smart and made fun of in high school because of this, is normally covered in acne and very ugly.
Now do we all fit in these groups categories. Are we all called one of these by other people? yes most likely.
But what if you're like me which could be very very very likely.
You shop at Hollister, American Eagle, and Abercrombie and Fitch. But Hot Topic also. Someone who wears polo's and tight graphic tee's. Someone who's smart but plays sports and is good at them. Someone who goes to a concert most weekends? Someone who enjoys a myspace account. Who has a few selfy pics but tons with friends too. Someone who's hair is clean but choppy. That has 5 skinny jeans in various colors and 5 flare jeans too. Someone who has a few ratty converse and some flashy heels too. Someone that gets on the internet at least once a day but hangs with friends everyday too. Someone who has acne that every teenager has, but it's not overly hard to control. Who has friends by he labels of emo scene, goth, nerds, geeks, dorks, jocks, preps, and even druggies.
What label would you give me hmm?
because we all want to be in a label, one we like a choose. but because we all don't fit into just one label does that make us all posers? yes yes it does.
So there you go I'm a poser and so is every single one of you.

Sometimes I hate this website. but i like to see how everyone decides to look down on each other by typing something mean about other people on the internet and then saying that the people in that label are all douche bags that look down on other people. oh the irony.

Something teenagers often slap on themselves and others. Many teenagers have their entire worlds revolving around labels. Common American labels are: prep, goth, punk, stoner, skater, emo, slut, jock. People who label themselves are often insecure and feel they must belong to a group. They usually don't have enough of a mind of their own to be themselves and show originality so they leech off trends.
Honestly... what's the point?

"Goth": I wear all black and act depressed. I am not allowed to relate with "preps". They are the enemy.
"Prep": I constantly look polished and clean cut. I am a barbie doll for society. I am not allowed to relate with "goths". They are the enemy.

1) the incessant need to declare that those who disagree with you much be given a Label-- such as Racist, Sexist, Misogynist, Bigot, etc.
2) attempts to shut down political discourse (or to villify one's opponents) by assigning them with disparaging labels.

It was hard to carry on a conversation with him; instead of good arguments, he could only respond with labelism and ad hominem attacks.

a label...a word given to someone based on who they are, what they like, or their appearance. someone who is in a punk band is a punk and therefore shouldn't even consider liking the girl that is more into sports. labeling is a way of making everyone fit into a group, but what it really does is leave everyone out.

a label is typical human nature
generally people don't like to be labeled, but it's often half their fault. if emo is the only thing you give off, expect to be called it
but labeling isn't a good thing to do, no matter how "emo" or whatever someone is. labeling is judgement
