hey everyone! im going to a Battle of the Bands tomorrow night and im kinda scared. i love rock but im afraid people are going to think im a "poser" because im preppy. you know those little scenesters. and idk if i should wear a Fender shirt because i dont want to get any weird looks...any suggestions? =] thanks!
NotMeanJustHonest answered Saturday January 21 2006, 9:36 am: Maybe you should stop being preppy. If you go to that concert, you could just be saying "I'm a liar who's pretending to fit in." And is the battle of the bands emo music? (Since you said "scenesters")
LoveNJstyle answered Saturday January 21 2006, 8:28 am: wear the tshirt! i think it would be fine. but comming from all the "rockers" i know: don't wear a polo and pop your collar. anything else is cool by them if you want to "fit in". wear it with jeans. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

If you really want to blend in and not draw attention to yourself, then wear jeans and a plain t-shirt of some sort.
LadyGoodman answered Saturday January 21 2006, 1:59 am: Just remember that a lot of scenesters are freakin' stupid and that their opinions mean nothing because of how quick they are to judge without looking beneath the surface. Not to say that they're all bad, it's just that so many I've been around are just as bad or worse than that jock prototype they emphasize in the movies, yet they're trying to be different from them. Hmmm...hypocritical no?
Okay, haha, sorry about my scene rant. Seriously, just wear whatever you want, and if that's a fender shirt, then go with that. Jeans and a t shirt are fine for a rock concert, and usually more practical. [ LadyGoodman's advice column | Ask LadyGoodman A Question ]

I would just avoid preppy clothes such as pink mini skirts etc. Ive been to Battle of the Bands before and no one really notices what other people are wearing anyway mostly just the music so you should be fine =]
Have fun! [ taintedLOVEEx's advice column | Ask taintedLOVEEx A Question ]
