I don't know how many of you use public transport to commute to school/college/work each day, but those that do will surely have read the Metro on one occasion of another.
Though usually filled with flippant political rhetoric and stupid interviews with E-list TV celebs, todays paper was different. Flicking through the pages I discovered a quirky article entitled 'Teen Tribes - And How To Identify Them'.
Being 18, I believed the article may 'reach out and grab the inner feelings of my generation'. In actuality, it was a highly unrealistic look at teenage stereotypes, the article seemingly being aimed at the easily-confused granny audience.
The categorys: Goth, Trendy, Scally, Sk8er (the 8 obviously making the newspaper cool, hip and 'down' with the younger generation), Mosher, Sporty, Townie and Geek. In each of the categories were a number of fields, including Heroes, Music and Philosophy.
Apparently, Townies worship their parents, listen to S Club and want to be Teachers when they are older and Sk8ers listen to Alanis Morisette and Limp Bizkit.
Though I find this categorisation all very patronising, I'm just glad they didn't create one for gamers. I can see it now:
Gamers
Heroes: Spyro the Dragon, Lara Croft (also featured in the Geek category) and Pokemon.
Style: Glued to Playstation 2.
Music: Ocarina of Time soundtrack.
Philosophy: The Sims never gets boring.
Won't Say: Let's go outside.
Why not try make your own vicious stereotypes. Use the grid above to create harsh superficialities about anything from Gamers to your parents.
Anyway, I'm off now, I can't leave my poor sims alone for too long, no matter what people say, it's more than a virtual dolls house...
