When someone clueless asks you what scene you hang out with - or whatever - and you don't feel like dropping the word "skinhead" into the conversation, what do you say?

neo-nazi facist pigs. or nuns, depending on my mood.
okay, but seriously, i've had clients ask me similar questions and i'll give a general description of shows we'd go to and that some of my friends are in bands and maybe mention old punk rockers. i don't label it under any particular scene. it's not something i flaunt to my customers, but if they asked i'm sure i'd sit them down for a little chat about what that horrible word "skinhead" means. they'd have to bring it up, but i wouldn't deny it. i mean damn, i've got that sharp sticker sitting in the front window of my car. i'm sure more than one has noticed it.

Makes sense. It came to mind because someone in my office sort of asked, and I realized I usually just say something about punk and ska. Maybe streetpunk. It's just not worth going into here at work.

well, it's easier for me seeing as i don't sport the cropped hair. but i completely agree with you. it's not something i advertise. i'm sure i've lost clients because they heard through the grapevine and never bothered to ask about it. and my competitors all know me and what i'm into and love to spread horseshit like that to win over the business. it really is a small town when it comes to idle gossip. that's one reason i keep toying with the idea of closing this place up and getting a regular 9-5. i just want to be me, do my job, earn my pay and i fucking hate all the back-biting that goes on.

Too bad you can't just lease the business and collect your cash. But yeah, I can see how the politics of competition would be a bitch to deal with all the time.
What 9 - 5 job would you be interested in?
