a male try hard:

-wear ripped jeans, sometimes so ripped you wonder why they wear them.
-have a cut and dyed mohawk hair cut/nu skool mullet.
-will use a "man bag".
-will wear a top with sideways strips (or "hoops") usually pink and grey or turqoise and black combo.
-love funky house, they used to love hardhouse when it was cool.
-dance like a funky chicken.
-have BOTH of those charity bands, because they look cool.
-general looking down on un-cool people type behaviour.

DISCLAIMER: people conforming to maybe one or two are not a try hard and some alone do not necessary insinuate potential try-hard-like behaviour.

have i summed it up? i'll try and find some pics

Define 'man bag' pls

In clubs, try-hards tend to be the ones in excessive amounts of cyberwear and enough glowsticks to put the seafront at Blackpool to shame.

try hards are nothing to do with cyber and i dont think you'll find the def in the dictionary

ste has it pretty much

try www.harderfaster.net, bound to have a pic.

look for ripped jeans, messy-designer t shirt, loose hanging belt, and an off centre spikey mohican style haircut, and dap style trainers (ie, not expensive nikes or reeboks)

ooh and as ste said, have 1 soft material wristband on each wrist, about 2 inches long.

I wonder if my life would be better if I was a try-hard? One to think about.

Posted by Phil r on Dec-07-2004 19:22:

i wouldn't spend an awful lot of time on it.

I've just realised, I always see these people hanging around the vinyl section of HMV listening to all the Hed Kandi records. Most wear trucker caps when they can't be arsed to do their mohawks
