If I Wasn't Vintage, I'd be...

[MrNewportCustom]

Invisible.

I was tempted to answer "naked," but I can't really consider myself to be vintage in the first place. If I did not dress the way I do now, I would most likely go back to looking like what many would call a punk.

 

[CopperNY]

modern primitive.

i gave up on growing dreads and stretching my earlobes when i was headhunted for law enforcement.

being beardless, with short hair and a suit, old friends/coworkers have walked right by me.

 

[Herr Hitman]

I grew up in the punk rock scene. If I wasn't into vintage I would probably just still be into the same stuff.

 

[Sydney Loren]

If I weren't vintage I'd still be a new-wave hippie.

 

[chanteuseCarey]

ditto...

though I dressed vintage-inspired anyway before I got into wearing vintage clothing, now almost three months ago. Modern clothing and worse yet, "retro" clothing is for the most part extremely boring...

I'd be normal. (*shudders*)

one of these days....

 

[Macheath]

I like old cars, explosions, PBR, and cigars.

Hopefully, though, not all together.

Although I'm sure it would be a fun way to go.

 

[Fedord Spaniard]

I'm sorry, it had to be done.

lol I like that hahahaha.

Hmmm, I guess Goth? I love The Cure, I look good in black, and I own a pair of spiderweb tights. I have to draw the line at filing my cuspids into points, though.

Oh cool, i always get a chuckle when i see Robert Smith do his little dancelol . My favorite Goth band is probably The Lords of The New Church or the Sisters of Mercy (even tho Eldritch says they arent really goth).

I love metal too! I'm pretty new to it, but I'm dating a fella who is teaching me lots and I'm loving it!

Now that I think about it, I'd probably dress more psychobilly. When I'm feeling too lazy for vintage and don't have to go to work that day, that's usually how I look.

In the way ive been dressing in the past few years, i dont look like i would be a metal-head. But im actually a suit with a punk rock/metal-head mentality.

He's not the only other one, add me to that list

Its good to see more hard rock/metal fans here.


These Musicians are some of my Metal Influences:

Dave Mustaine (One of the founders of Thrash/Speed Metal. One of the original Metallica members and the creative force behind Megadeth. This man is one of the reasons why i got into metal when i was a kid)

Al Jourgensen (The brain behind the band Ministry and the godfather of industrial metal)

Marty Friedman ( neo-classical/speed metal musician and ex-Megadeth guitarist 1990 - 2000)

Chris Poland (Jazz/Fusion and thrash/speed metal musician and Ex-Megadeth guitarist 1984 - 1987)

Brian May (Guitarist of the band Queen, who invented his own guitar and sound...Many might not consider May as a metal guitarist, but "Stone Cold Crazy" is probably the earliest Speed Metal song.

 

[Spitfire]

Twee is wimpy, nerdy, innocent, childish, conservative, shy 80s-early 90s flirting with 60s mod, with a twist of androgyny.
P.S. I can't link properly to youtube clips! So you'll just have to click on the Amelia link.

Aww I looove Belle and Sebastian! It is definitely an appealing look too. I was trying to think of a way to describe indie but cuter and more feminine and I completely forgot about twee

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I like old cars, explosions, PBR, and cigars. I study in a male-dominated industry, and like to shoot things.
Oh my stars. I would totally be my grandfather.
Which I guess is still vintage. *shakes fists at heavens in frustration*

Wow, small world!
I have 2 old cars
Host a big fireworks show at my summer house every year.
Drink PBR like a fish and have the second biggest Pre-Prohibition/Prohibition Era Pabst Collection in the State of Wisconsin, home of Pabst of course.
And smoke cigars, even if they're cheapie swisher sweets.
And my dad owns a gun store.

Oh, that's so fun to know! This forum seems to have it's share of goths, punks, metal-heads, etc... but the only other closeted twee person I know of is ShrinkingViolet! So now there are three of us. shhhhhhhh Tihi!

Isobel always reminds me of Jean Seberg in Breathless. Swoon!

 

[cherry lips]

I can see that Audrey, but to me the resemblance to Catherine Deneuve is eery

 

[Lillemor]

I'd just be my nerdy, gothy self without the vintage.

 

[Warden]

someone from the 17th Century.

Bit of a time tart I am afraid

[Lauren]

I don't see why we can't be into these other things and into vintage, too? [huh] I've got lots of things I like and dress like that aren't "vintage"

 

[Amy Jeanne]

I'm with Lauren. I like so many other things. Vintage is the biggest one, yes, but I've still got a little part of every phase I've ever been through still inside me.
