Kyle FlahertyFebruary 9, 2009 at 10:37 amDavid, sorry to take a month to get back to you! I aulcatly do think “lurker” is still a negative term, hence why I like “listner”. Lurkers are all around us unfortunately and will never engage, even when called out. Listeners on the other hand are looking to engage, but need to know they can trust you first (or at least that you know what you are talking about)./kff Reply

I think it’d spusrire a lot of people but what you wear doesn’t have to show what you listen to! Just because you wish to listen to kids in glass houses doesn’t mean you have to dress emo or because you listen to marilyn manson your not a goth! Wear whatever you want and don’t let people try and make you change!

I don’t think so. I like such a wide vtaeiry of music that I would end up looking rather strange if I tried to mimic my tastes in music. I like rock, metal, opera, classical and funk. What the heck would I wear, LOL!
