This is more of an opinion and real events thread. Have you ever been judged by your clothes that you listen to a certain music and do you think that your clothes=your music?
1. Yes i have run into a situation like that. For instance one of my friends when he first met me thought me to listen to boybands and some of the new rock (all that happy crap) and didnt think to well of me. Then he found out i listen to metal and now we are best friends.
2. No i do not think that way and for the obvious reasons. I mean if i did then well not too many people would be near me.

Yes. I've been judged as one who listens only to indie bands. And it's true xD So yes. At least if you care about your looks, you often dress according to your type of person... and your type of person often listens to a type of music... as in my case, indie stuff.

Meh, I don't know how to describe it without sounding prejudicial. But maybe people who like to dress in a certain way like to listen to a certain kind of music? More so than the other way around.

Imagine one of the Ultranationalists depicted in Call of Duty 4, only with long hair.
I don't fit a cliché, thus have never had anyone judge me (beyond age guessing) by my appearance, let alone my musical taste.

The only assumption anyone could possibly make is that I listen to Königgrätzer Marsch on a daily basis... and that's just humourous.

Well, I dress in casual clothing, and I listen to 80's and 70's and the Gorrilaz. Hmmm... I don't wear parachute pants... nope, I don't think there's a connection.

Not even close. I wear sweatshirts/t-shirts/sweatpants almost all the time. Either that or cargo pants/ shorts...I'm fairly certain when people see me walking down the street, they wouldn't guess that I'm listening to hard rock/metal. I guess I just don't give off that vibe, but that doesn't really matter. I like what I like, and I don't think you need to dress a certain way to display what kind of music you like.

I dress pretty plainly, enough so that I doubt it could be associated with any type of music. For the record, I listen mostly to Rock, Pop, Techno, and some Metal. Also game soundtracks/remixes.

I personally think it's kinda fun to surprise people with what I like since I don't follow fashion trends that go along with music.

I dress weird (bright colors + skirts all the time even if it's snowing) and I listen to "weird" music (J-Pop, K-Pop, hardcore techno, etc.)

I guess in my case it would be true...? XD

I really can't count for anything I suppose... I have at least three songs of every genre known to man on my Zune. @ [email protected]

Yes, all the time, but they just joke around about it. XD

I wear long jackets with those thumb openings and long jeans. That, and any t-shirt I can find.

Sometimes, though I always wear clothes without considering the music I listen to.

I listen to a variety of music genres (J-pop, R&B, Country, Emo etc.) and my clothes do not follow the variation.

I think in several instances, this is the case. For example, when you see those absurd teenagers dressed like they’re Compton gangsters, yes, they often listen to that rap/hip-hop sort of music. Then there are times where it’s plastered on the shirt right for you—if you’re like me—and you wear band shirts most of the time. But for people who don’t conform to clichés and don’t tend to buy outfits that aren’t showing off their love for the music they listen to, then it’s rather hard to guess, no?

I listen to a lot of different style of music, but I don't think that my clothes reflect that, well, maybe it does, I do wear a lot of different styles of clothes. :P

No. I pretty much always wear my Dragonforce hoodie when I'm out. So people may think I listen to them and other Power Metal bands. I do, but that's what my main musical focus.

If a kid is into the scene enough, you can tell just by looking at them, because they most likely dress in merch/converse or vans etc. I don't really try to label people or myself but I have been judged based on what I wear. But I usually wear some kind of band merch for like Silverstein, As I Lay Dying, Chiodos, Drop Dead, Gorgeous, and merch for bands like that(I'm into heavier stuff, just haven't really got around to get around to getting any merch or anything).

I wear Nike Air Force Ones, Adidas shoes, South Pole pants, Eynce pants, and shirt, and others. I dress in Hip-Hop/Rap style, but I don't sag my pants down or anything like that. I actually wear these expense clothes to boots my self esteem, confidence, etc.,

I actually dress like my music. I usually wear skinny jeans, graphic t, or anything that's on sale at hot topic xD It reflects the type of music I like, which is mostly music like Three Days grace, Simple Plan, ECT.
exactly lol. though I really do NOT like either of those bands. 3DG is okay at best, and I just think Simple Plan is horrible. It's just imo.
