j-rock = some seriously cool styles.

I've seriously thought of getting a tattoo before but the thought of the ink under my skin...it'd drive my OCD crazy and I'd end up picking at it trying to get it out.  So I'll have to stick with non-permanent body art.  If I did get a tatt, it'd probably be an MLP (see avatar for example).

I want tattoos but i'm not even going to seriously think about what I want tattoed until i've had top surgery and lost weight.

First off Insideontheoutside I'm thrilled to see you smile.  *throw party!*

Hey Squirrel! You mean the icon? That's my sometimes doppelganger. He's much better looking than me LOL.

Also, I thought about you yesterday because it was supposedly national squirrel appreciation day (no joke!).

Awesome blog, Shayne. You've got good taste.

Does anyone here like old-school punk? I'm okay with some modern stuff like Green Day and MCR, but they aren't even punk anymore. Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Ramones, I like that sort of thing. Though my ipod is very, very eclectic.

The box set for the new MCR album has an E.P. (Mad Gear And Missile Kid - which is really just them) with some very punky stuff on it. There's only 3 tracks though which is the bummer part. They should have done more on that. I'm pretty sure the mp3s are floating around on the open web though. The Misfits were a huge influence to those guys.

Yesterday I bought an incredible full length leather coat from Pelle.  This is when my goth side goes out which is still under the surface even though I mostly go preppy in the way I dress.  I am planning on wearing the coat to a Live Action Role Playing (LARP) today called Vampire the Requiem which is from the New World of Darkness rpg series.  My vampire's name is Dmitry.  He is a Daeva and follows the Circle of the Crone.  I'll post pictures if I get any good ones.  Yes we do run around and hiss and bite at each other.  It's fun!

Ahh! I also LARP in a WOD game! I'm a Mage though, so don't you vampires screw up any of well thought out plans!

(Unfortunately, I made the character before I was out so I have to wear a dress at game.  Ah well, it's still fun! Fortunately my characer is kind of a neo-hippie so I can get away with body hair )

Thought it might be worth replying to this post.

I have 00g ear lobes and dreads a few inches past my shoulders. Some of my locks are also dyed with cool colors too(blue, green, purple)!  I'm gonna miss my locks when I start to transition, I can't pass with them.

I listen to ska (Streetlight Manifesto, Reel Big Fish, The Toasters) and old school punk (old AFI, The Ramones, Minor Threat).  The last show I saw was Streetlight Manifesto and Reel Big Fish (it was my 6th time seeing Streetlight Manifesto!).

I'm not into skinny jeans or any tight clothes for that matter, I actually dress kind of out-doorsy I guess.

What black metal bands do you like? Black metal's not my favourite type of metal but some bands I enjoy.

Off the top of my head...Cradle of Filth, Dark Funeral, The Black Dahlia Murder (death metal), Theatres des Vampires, Anorexia Nervosa, Graveworm, Moonspell, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Old Man's Child, As Blood Runs Black (death metal).

Other metal bands that aren't black metal that I like are, Sepultura, Slayer, Soulfly, Pantera, Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse.

I like my music blasphemous, dark, and fast. 

does liking rock, classic rock and alternative and dancy 80's, some techno, trance music count? i wouldn't consider myself goth or punk literally because i don't like or want any piercings or any color hair besides what i already have but do want tattoos some day, but I am definitely different....maybe just a nerd. oh noes! I'm in the wrong topic!

I'm more like this. We need our own thread maybe.

XD I like that music, too. XD  >> My tastes are wide ranging.

I don't even know what to call myself =/ 

When I was in really young I was a computer geek who had a love for anime stuff. I moved to a bigger city when I was 10 and didn't like anyone hahah I taught myself how to make websites and graphics to keep myself busy.

Then later at one point I dyed my hair black and had my lip pierced? and dressed all black and whatever...

Now my girlfriend makes fun me because she thinks I look very 'gangster' while I listen to emo/screamo type music. Yet... I'm still geeky computer nerd with an embarrassing large Pokemon collection. Hahah =( I'm just a mix of strange things.

I think the last concert I saw was Muse. But I'm seeing MCR again in April and May.

I just realized I've never had my hair purple before. Might have to fix that...

I'm seeing them in April too.  Hope they do a little tour soon as the Mad Gear and Missile Kid. Haven't seen them in small clubs and I'm pretty stoked for this one.

Purple hair sounds awesome. It'll go well with the new album concept

My parents were goths or similar back in the day. So they got to see Bauhaus and Velvet Underground live, and such things. My mum used to have a buzz cut when she was younger, and father still has his weed-smelling, tie-dyed shirt he got from a festival.

I was brought up with the mindset of "Weird is good!" and "No knowledge is useless". So yeah, my parents are gothy nerds. My mum is currently sewing a corset while listening to Joy Division. I think this says quite a lot about my family, really.

Wish my parents were super cool like yours. Mine are just typical catholic parents not that I don't love them.
The year I saw bauhaus was 2005 and 2006. They did shows in small venues then the next summer with NIN. I've never seen them in their heydays as I'm still in my 20's.

I've been pretty interested in body mods lately.  Have a couple of potential tattoos designed, and I'm thinking about a septum piercing.  My mom says it wouldn't suit my face since my nose is kind of upturned, but maaan it's what I want.

Skinny jeans, though... I can't get behind that.  They show off exactly what I don't want to show off.  Give me my parachute pants.

well, i know this is a guys thread, but i did say i'd post pics when it was finished. the off the shoulder look was so unintentional, but i like it.

I'm a mod, I suppose that is rather alternative just with less black and more suits.  Last band I went to see was Secret Affair which was a load of fun.  And I am well outside of the 'normal' box, thankfully. 

btw gerard way doesnt look like a girl...

I wouldn't exactly consider myself 'alternative' but I used to have every hair color possible (at different times) when i was younger. I had my nose pierced and have my tragus' pierced. I have 3 tattoos and Im getting another one next month.

Looks fabulous!    I was going to post a diy clothing thread (no pun intended  ) in the fashion section just now and saw your thread there.  Wish I'd noticed sooner, I love diy clothes (not one of my more manly interests maybe but there are a lot of men fashion designers!)
