T.G.F.K.A.N.T.D.W.A. Started conversation Sep 12, 2003
So in my old journals i was talking about teh social order of life as a teenager today. so i just pasted my old journals into this new one, both the articles have just been pasted together now..so..
Todays genertaion of children (i have to admit) are most likely alot more voilent and competitive then the older generation used to be,
and different sterotypes have emerged, The streptypes are Goth, Townie and 'Protectee'
Now in general most people in the ages of 12 to 18 fit in to one of the above streptype, However the 'Protectee' is not a streotype that many people know as there is no 'offical' name for it so i only feel i must explain these different streotypes, And for the record i dont mean to offend any people by the streotyping.
anyway, here are my interpretations of the 'groups'
The Protectee
This is just a name that me and my fellow friends call this 'class' of person because we all think that they deserve a name.
The protectee is a person that is around the age of 9 to 14, there are a range of reasons for them being streotyped as a protectee.
There are two types of protectee both of which are teh same name - pretectee. The first type is the person who is not mentally matrue enough to make their own descions or are givin responsablity of their own actions. The second streotype is the more 'advanced' version of the first type of protectee, the difference being that the second type of protectees are givin partial abilty to decide for themselves and the streotype is them walking around a Mall/Shopping centre with 'Daddys Debit Card' and "Needing" the new FCUK top, also the type tend to be Female but its jsut a streotype. you could recognise
them by infact them wearing that top your little sister just bought or the reason why you have no money in your wallet and your daughters looking 'kool'
The Goth
The Goth is the universally known term altougth i imagine the class would be known as 'alternative' so ill call the class that because Goth is its own branch of alternative
In the term alternative there are 3 branches there is 'mosher' 'Goth' and the alternative protectee which has just confuzzed you all.
The goth is a very 'hardcore' alternative you could recognise the Goth wearing a dog coller and white makup.
The mosher is the lighter ideal of the Goth, these are known by differnt names depending on which are you are in, you could recognise
a mosher by the baggy pants, the earings and the bands around his/her arm, no colour can really be defined as bright colours are used alot in the mosher culture.
The Protectee alternative is the very young mosher around the age of 10 to 12 year of age these are just coming of listening to Pop music to Pop/Rock Such as 'Avril Lavgine' and 'Busted' and tend to wear clothes with pictures of there Idols on their shirts.
You can find any of the above sat down in the large grassy areas away from any kind of shops or Townies....
The Townie
The Townie is the opposite of the The alternative's, infact they are rivals, which is the reason why im writing this to explain the differnces...
Townies are known by many names which like the alternative range vary, around our area they are known by 'Scallies' and london the are known as Townies. There are no branches to the Townies only there are female and male version of them, whereas in the alternative culture males and females wear the same things but in the townie culture they do not. Townies are streptyped to listen to RnB and Rap music but it is not just a streotype because in face they do.
Male Townies in general care about their 'reputation' around there area and how 'hard' they are which basiclly means them being the Alpha Male in the area, they usally wear 'hoodies' (a pullover with
an attached hood with various makes such as Nike and Puma)
The Female townie doe not often wear pants, they noramlly wear
mini-skirts and low cut tops,
You can find scallys by looking out of your window at 2:30 in the morning yelling on your nearest corner...yes that is them...
And that was the SIMPLE version of the teen streotypes in life today and now for my first journal entrie about the rules of them mentioned above...
Im sat here and im thinking, so im jsut going to write everything that im thinking without thinkg about it, so this entry amy go on jsut a lil too long so i dont blame any of you to just stop reading half way through,
Im just thinking about the 'unwritten laws' of life - one inparticular - the 'Goth Vs Townie' saga,
im not sure the older generation on this site my understand exactly what im on about but heres my version of these laws
1) each side must keep a distance of 'hangouts' at least 1 mile
2) if either side enters another area belonging to the opposing side then they are tresspassing and the defensive 'group' must act on their own instinct
3) If more than two of the opposing 'group' it is considered a threat and a distance should be kept
4) any eye contact between the groups is seen as agression and may result in no. 2)
5)If there is a ONE member of an opposing 'team' in a group of the other 'team' then the 'team' with the least amout of 'townies' or 'goths' is subjected to ridicule from the 'team' with the most members
6) However... If there is more than 3 members of a opposing 'team' then the other 'team' with the 3+ members in are then the 'team' with the 3+ members become 'allies' of the opposing team
7) If this happens in the in the presence of 1) 2) and 3) then the rules of 1) 2) and 3) still apply
And im done! they were me journals for alomst a month back yey! *cheers patheticly*
