What Group are You?

Well After the quizz I thought I'd see what all the "Social Groupings Were" ....

Well After a quick search on Wikipedia .... we get ..

Chav: is a slang term in popular usage throughout the United Kingdom, usually used in a derogatory fashion, referring to a subculture stereotype of a person with: fashions such as brand-name tracksuits with white trainers, and sometimes flashy 'bling' jewellery and/or flat fronted, occasionally Burberry caps; a magnetic attraction to congregation points (sometimes known as chavaramas) such as fast-food outlets or other shopping areas; a concentrated music taste (centred loosely around Rhythm and blues, Rap and Hip Hop); and a culture of antisocial behaviour.

Skater: Well no actual entry here, but it re-directs you to skateboarding ... so a Skater is one who likes to Skateboard, or wants to be good at Skateboarding.

Goth: is a modern subculture that first became popular during the early 1980s within the gothic rock scene, a sub-genre of post punk. It is associated with gothic tastes in music and clothing. Styles of dress range from gothic horror, punk, Victorian, fetish, cybergoth, androgyny and/or lots of black (inspired by the beatniks). However, there is no dress code for goths.

Trendy: found no reference to this in Wiki (other than x-ref to the word trend.) But from the dictionary I grabbed this ... Of or in accord with the latest fad or fashion: trendy clothes.

Preppy: This style of dressing first emerged in the financially prosperous 1950s, when students went for the Ivy League look. According to Yesterdayland.com, "Madras plaid dress shirts with button-down collars, v-neck sweaters and slimmed-legged chino pants marked the college boy, while slim sweater sets, pleated skirts and saddle shoes all but guaranteed a good girl entrance to the university."

Three decades later, the Ivy League look became the preppy look.

These characteristics include particular subcultural speech, vocabulary, accent, dress, mannerisms, etiquette, and general way of being. Lisa Birnbach's 1980 classic Official Preppy Handbook is a tongue-in-cheek, "guide" to the preppy subculture. The term is similar in formation to hippie or yuppie, and had great currency in the 1970s and 1980s.

Rocker: was a term originally applied in a derogatory manner to British motorcycle riding youths in the 1960s, but was later taken as a badge of pride. The word can apply to both male and female riders, and their pillions. Rockers were almost entirely defined in opposition to their famous antitheses of the same time, the Italian scooter riding Mods, or Modernists. Mods and Rockers rocketed to fame in 1964 by the sensationalistic media reporting of what by today's standards was very mild youth behaviour; the famous Bank Holiday clashes between both parties on the English South Coast holiday resorts of Clacton, Margate and Brighton. Before this time, young motorcyclists had not been grouped together and labelled in such a manner.

Emo: Erm ... it refers to emo music ... which is Emotional Hardcore of the Washington DC area in the 1980's .. Also a cross reference to Emo-Fashion which says ...
Emo fashion relates to the Emo scene and can relate to the hairstyles, clothing and demeanor of those involved. Traditionally, the term "emo" when used in describing clothing meant clothes such as tight jeans and fitted T-shirts or polo shirts, sweaters, and "Buddy Holly" glasses. However, as the variety of music labelled "emo" has become diffused with more mainstream popularity, there are now several distinct strands of emo fashion. Most popular of which is Emo-Nerd epitomised in such bands as Wheezer.

Now whilst the above isn't a very good insite into popular subcultures ... It is a start ...
