Now that my spouse has reached a certain age, she has begun reclaiming her identity as ’80s rock goddess, and frankly, I couldn’t be happier. Notwithstanding the desire to wear shoulderless tops and dancing on the hood of Whitesnake’s car, she seems to be quite happy as well, making me wonder if I should reclaim my own youthful status. ‘Course, as a lifelong “No Club That Would Have Me As A Member” contrarian, I don’t know what subculture that might be, leading to today’s categorical query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) has never been a good fit as “nerd”, lacking the expected social anxiety, and so would probably grudgingly choose “Generation X”, asking: If you HAD to categorize yourself with some subculture label, which one would you choose?

Whatever the Star Wars equivalent of a Trekker/Trekkie is (and I despise the term “Warrie”, so I’m not saying that).
Though I do get referred to as an Otaku (in both the older derogatory context and the more recent context as a fan) a lot, as I do watch a lot of Japanese series and movies (both anime and live-action) and read a lot of manga. But I don’t really consider myself one because I’m not obsessive about it, it just happens to be where my interests lie.
I used to be a Nordic Metal Kid. Now I’m interested in too many things to be labelled any one thing.
I am not a number, I’m a free man!
