I am not picky. If you want to give me one of those, I'll take it.

jamespowers said:I dunno. A Venn Diagram can get complicated:
Keep adding groups and I am going to get really confused or run out of space really fast.

jamespowers said:He is indeed.
My Venn Diagram was just an example that I found but I can see that there might be some apropos parts.

Doran said:Jack, I tell you what. Let's write the article. You write it or you and I write it, just to get it up there now. I'm surprised that book "Swing" by Vale isn't already discussed up on Wikipedia because that book more or less does what you want your article to do. Is it?
We can discuss both the vintage scene in general as well as the levels of involvement, which, it seems to me, should most reasonably be divided into three, and these provisional names seem most reasonable:
a.) Lifestyle Atavist
b.) Anachronist or Vintage Buff or Vintage Enthusiast
c.) Occasional Vintage Wearer
We can discuss temporal out-of-place-ness, love of the past, horror of present culture, discuss that last horror's connexion to the punk scene.
I don't mean to bug you with the use of the word "we" -- do it all by yourself if you like; I just want it to get done.
Doran said:Actually you are right. People will take it the wrong way if it is a list.
Sorry if I came off too curt!
Venn diagram has my support.

I fear that that moniker has already been taken, too!

reetpleat said:I think that might be too sensitive. I am sure you would cringe if I said too overly sensitive If there were to be an article, and a list of types of involvement, well, obviously, there will always be one person that falls between 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. so it might be pointless.
However, if one did write a list, i see no reason why it would not start at one end of the spectrum and end at the other, as in, 1, full time, 2, part time, 3 rarely, 4 want to. etc
Or, if anyone cares, 1 those who want to, 2, those who rarely...
I can't imagine anyone saying hey, he called what i am 3. i should be 1. I mean, is 1 best or is 10 best. Depends on the scale. And a list has no scale anyway.
