which of the above would you say describes you best? if you say none of the above, you are lying as everyone can be fitted neatly into one of these categories judged by
a)the social group one interacts with
b)the music one listens to
c)ones age

Well, I'm 18, I mostly listen to extreme and doom metal and none of my friends is into that kind of music, so I'll just vote for normal person.

think I'd put myself similar to P.Dave, between normal and trendie. truth is my taste in music is so broad i honestly don't think i can be classified.

to take a case in point by the end of sunday i will have seen Paul Oakenfold, Armin Van Buuren, The Killers and Iron Maiden in the same week.

What a surprise, most people are going for normal. Including me. Although I technically fit into about 4 categories... Trendie, Ska Kid, Normal, Townie (on the grounds that you won't really get people who don't like rock music here, but you might get people that like hip-hop and dance music)

p.s. did you mean the pietasters when you said the pie eaters?

Any problems with the forums? email me at mike@rockforums.net

why yes i did. i seem to remember them being on the bill wen we went to see less than jake at the forum. they were very average. i wish people would choose to be some of the more minority categories and not just say normal, because if you post on this site you clearly are not.

im a metalhead but dont really dress like one, but then again most metalheads dont really dress in any stereotypical way. i dont have insanely long badly kept hair either. i voted other because 'normal person' seemed like an easy way out.
