     [ "labels" ]

    1: pointless words (emo, goth, skater, preppy, poser, etc.) used to stereotype people because of what they wear or what music they listen to. Most people who label others have NO idea what they are talking about, in fact anyone who labels people are narrowminded asswholes who have nothing better to do. Just because you listen to My Chemical Romance doesn't mean you are emo and slit your wrists in a dark room with candles every night, and just because you wear alot of black doesn't mean you worship the fucking devil, and just because you wear pink and say "like" alot doesn't mean you are a prep. Seriously, people who label others dont know shit like they think they do. If you disagree with what someone listens to, don't listen to it. And if you disagree with what someone wears, don't wear it. But whatever you do, don't tell them you disagree, because no one gives a flying fuck what you think. Labels suck. So do labelers. Be yourself, and don't live by someone else's rules so you can be cool.

      * e.g.,  ... Labels are not 100% accurate - they're more of a stereotypical view of today's people, and many find this disrespectful. However, it is also true that labels can help classify a certain type of person that another might be looking for. Just don't expect for the person to be exactly like the label is described.

     [ "no label" ]

    1: Used in the lesbian community to define a person who does not consider themselves to fall into the stereotypical categories of fem,stud, butch, or girlie. Not to be confused with "stem" which is a person who dresses and acts in a way that is clearly a mix of stud and fem or butch & fem. No labels usually give off no traditional signs or signals that they are in fact gay. They are more than likely assumed to be straight. Most no labels are NOT bisexual but more closely related to the term "asexual". They are not "undercover" but choose not to let their relationship preference be a major factor in their day to day activities. Though they get along with all in the lgbt community they hate categories and tend to live outside of the box of what is accepted or expected in that community.

      * e.g.,  ... Example: I never knew Mary liked girls, I always thought she was straight.
