you forgot two types:
4. the DJ/Promoter Groupie...y'know the guy that hangs off of his "best" friend like a puppy and bathes in his friend's glory "oh the dj? yah, I know him, we're tight" or "oh yah, I helped set up the decoration, my best friend is the promoter" ~la de da~
5. the DJ/Promoter/Dealer Whore...this is essentially the femal version of the above except she has to sleep with the person in order to feel cool. Also, these girls usually don't know anything about the music and don't care that they don't know anything, they're just there for the status.
And of course we're all stereotyping because there are DJ's and DJ girlfriend/boyfriends and friends of promoters who are genuine, but it's fun to make fun of everyone anyways ;)
As for myself, I joke and call myself a DJ Whore because my boyfriend is a dj but truth be known I've been into our local music scene longer than he has and didn't even meet him until last year. Not that he's a newbie...as far as local's go he's one of the top ones, we've both been in it for a number of years. But I'm also a promoter (http://www.symptomtech.com) and I co-host a weekly radio show...It's hard to categorize yourself when you are in it for a while. You have to either become a DJ or a Promoter or a bonified DJ girlfriend/boyfriend. There aren't many that have been around for a while that aren't one of those things.
But I LOVE getting dressed up and freaking people out...noone ever knows how to categorize me. The last time I got dressed up I made myself some black riding chaps and wore shiny blue shorts under them with a shiny blue top with tassels on it...put some black and blue pipecleaners in my hair too haha
My problem is I like making and wearing costumes too much haha...anyways, here's the photo of the "raver cowgirl" outfit I was trying to describe and the next one is me goofing around with dress up stuff (hope you don't mind me adding a graphic to the thread):
 
who needs labels when you're as weird as me? :p |

What about you? |
I'm 4. none of the above.
Funny thread. I've seen and probably been all of the above at different times of my clubbing career. I still find many of the characters you describe funny, but I've become more tolerant. Anyone who has been around the scene for a while realizes every thing that's hip will soon be passe. It's kinda of stupid the way people use music and fashion to prove their coolness. I like to enjoy the music and the scene without taking it too seriously. |

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I think theres way more then 3 types of clubbers.
These will apply more to people in the Uk, but by all means their probably around in other countries aswell. Do not get offended by the way if I cuss you ;)
lol here we go time for some stereotypes. These our from my expriences of these types of people.
Group 1 The s I hate who go to clubs
1. Clubbing scum - The pondlife of nightclubs, the amiba, the dog on your shoes, most likely to come from a more rougher area of town, belong in scummy cheese clubs but sometimes escape from time to time, look out for a group of 5 - 20 lads, trying to look tough and intimidate people, the head of each gang of these scum usually wears a quarter length leather jacket he always has a gobby slag girlfriend as thin as a rake with a face like a bag of nails. The fashion shirts short sleeved, long sleeved, plain or checkered, also in winter time a nasty jumper. Behaviour will get drunk get in a fight usually started by one of their gobby bitches, or get drunk and ask people for pills and try to make a attempt to blend in with everyone else.
2. Shermanators - Ben Sherman shirts, usually skinheads, rockport shoes, like nothing more to get drunk, start a fight, chase the nice looking girls around the club who don't want to know them, after their harrassing they usually find something that represents a female sealion, or a female sperm whale, they usually end up ing the pig, as from the creatures they pull, they probably shag anything with a pulse, they always round their evening off with a kebab.
3. Posers - 'Oh look at me I'm a model, I was at pacha and shagged a minor c list celeberaty oh look at me, if it isn't Gucci or Prada its ' Don't u just hate them? arrogent, loving themselves walking around as if they own the club, sticking coke up their noses to give their ego a bigger boost, yep its posers more likely to be found in house, clubs however I have come across them on trance nights, obssessed with fashion.
4. Fake Rude Bwoys - Found with UK Garage, but seen on the street, 'BOOOOOOOO Init init init Darrens Beama is wicked init?' Complete twats who listen to Garage, always with a hint of arrogence, usually white middle class kids acting as if their some rude boy from Brixton, usually end up getting a kicking off someone in town, as they start on the wrong people for looking at their bitches.
Group 2 Could be better but I put up with them.
5. House Snobs - They love their house music, usually found in Prog house arenas however note theres cool and sound people who listen to prog house, but this set of scum I'm talking about are sometimes found, 'oh trance is so 1999 its ', usually where some high up fashion brand.
6. M25 Ravers - As someone mentioned in a thread before, always going on about back in the day and acid house ok people but the nostalgic chat gets annoying.
7. T shirts - Have not a ing clue about electronic music, they go and watch Djs just so they can say they've gone and watched them, 'OH Sasha and Digweed I hear their fashionable', I remember at GCSSS 2001 being stuck behind a group of them, Paul Van Dyk was on and I remember them saying who's on in the other arena 'Oh Carl Cox I heard his good, what style of music does he play?' Its quite sad in a way, as they've taken up a ticket a big dance music fan could of had, and the only reason their there is to brag to their mates at Oxford and Cambridge that they've seen a good dj.
Group 3 The Good People of clubbing
8. Normal clubbers - Normal clubwear t-shirts sleeveless tops combat trousers, Can't really fall into a certain group, sound people good to chat to, friendly, and out for a good time, the group I fall in to :)
9. Cybers - Cool as , very friendly, a good laugh, and always a pleasure in my view to see at events.
10. Experimental Clubbers - Usually more into House and Breakbeat, but if they know you like trance they'll talk to you about trance, very approachable and friendly, usually found at dance festivals. |
