Before anyone starts, I use independence here as a general term. Essentially, I just mean anyone who doesn't listen to mainstream music-and make sure everyone knows it.
But how do we distinguish these people? How do we know what will happen when we meet them? Well, The Leeds Tab has produced an authoritative guide for indie games:
Now this is the true independent core and the only blueprint for each subtype of the alternative. I'm talking about bucket hats, endless dark canned fruits, and a lot of Liam Gallagher. The most common is on Independence Thursday at O2. You will find him wearing his father’s old Pretty Green jacket. He will tell everyone "from the 90s, when the show was pretty good" and "has been dressed to see Stone Rose." Spike Island."
How much is this true? You will never know, but it is safe to assume that a certain degree of exaggeration has occurred. Unlike some other independent boy archetypes, these men still have toxic masculinity and promise to leave you alone in a jerk pit at some point, because "you can't be trapped in it like a lad and me. ."
First of all, I must warn you that the name is extremely misleading. It is true that compared with previous prototypes, these men are more inclined to stay in touch with their emotions, which is a very attractive quality from the perspective of female gaze. However, you mistakenly believe that this means deep, in-depth conversations and amazing communication skills at 3 AM. I hope you are good at giving advice, because you are about to become this man's therapist.
After you spend the longest three hours of your life listening silently to the trauma of a person you just slept with, you will be hit by the classic "I have never seen someone like you before" "Line. At least you got compliments, eh? And a very comfortable Tyler, The Creator hoodie.
It can be said that this is the most dangerous independent boy archetype. Do you know the phrase "we always want what we can't have"? Yes, well, the skater boy's heart is deeply buried in a big bag of weeds, and he won't let anyone take it from him. The evil trinity of skateboarding boy culture consists of three golden H-Hash, Hoe, and Hyde Park.
All this is very tempting: their lack of care, their emotional incompetence, their floppy hair and Thrasher hoodies. All I can say is to prepare yourself, because there are "you overreact" and "this is not a big deal" everywhere, so you will face a lot of toxicity.
Sometimes confused with the prototype of the skateboard boy, the electronic boy has the same attitude of "It doesn't matter, everything is bad". At first you will find this attitude avant-garde and profound, until you realize that it makes you hate every aspect of your life. .
There is no denying that electronic boys do have some benefits: you can always find them by listening to the sound of silver chains colliding with each other. But when everything was said and done, there was nothing better than listening to him shout out the lyrics of his favorite Yungblud song, so much so that even the residents of James Baillee thought it was too much.
I might actually say that this is the harshest of all independent boys, mainly because you are automatically considered inferior because you exist in the 21st century. Do you use Instagram? Delete it. Do you listen to music through speakers? Throw it away.
This boy’s love language consists entirely of vinyl records and charity shop clothes. If he finds that you are listening to any songs released after the 1980s, he will undoubtedly make you feel guilty for several days in a row. Say goodbye to Pryzm's independent venue, or any club related to it, because about 7 minutes after Catfish and Bottlemen started, he started to get bored with "overplay and mainstream." Maybe you should hang out with your roommate.
You may encounter this prototype in the Leeds Music Union Library, trying to release the protagonist's energy as he browses the records, and purposefully come up with Tame Impala's least popular album to show that he is a true fan. His opening line is similar to: "Did you know there is only one person? His name is Kevin Parker." You will pretend to be impressed and ignore it, because in some ways he looks a bit like Timothee Chalamet.
Later, he will invite you to watch his band play in some dusty and neglected bars, and you will feel dizzy because of the prospect of going out with the lead singer and guitarist. Grab those hours of happiness, because you will soon discover that he has invited 15 other girls, and suddenly you become a star chaser, watching a group of teenage boys copy the songs of the Arctic monkeys. But admission is free!
There are more independent boy archetypes to discuss, but because I am afraid that writing a whole novel will make me feel spiral about my previous encounters with these people, I think I'd better stop here. You should and should.
