1. Clipse -- I have no idea who they are.

2. Weezer -- In my day (LOL), mostly teenaged girls with high IQs who like rock music. I don't know if that's changed or not, because so much changes in the span of 6 years.

3. Killing Joke -- I used to think really crazy people, but now I think it's mostly men who were teens in the '80s who grew up as fans of this group. I got introduced to them from being a Nirvana fan, so maybe add some Nirvana fans as well.

4. Lisa Marie Presley -- Scientologists. Sheep who follow whatever "Entertainment Tonight" tells them to follow. (Or is that a redundancy?)

5. Bright Eyes -- I don't know who they are, but I do know that song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" has that line, "turn around bright eyes", and that is a good song IMHO.

6. Craig David -- Young urban teenagers who would also listen to Usher & Brandy and who might also have some Stevie Wonder albums in their collection.

7. Dashboard Confessional -- I don't know who they are. (I don't listen to any obscure-ish musical artists, sorry!)

8. Mogwai -- Twentysomethings hip to indie/obscure-ish musical artists, who probably majored in something artistic/creative in college and who pride themselves in seeing all the indie movies Before You Do.

Now, an addition to the list:

9. The Cure [and if anyone mentions the word "goth" I will PIMPLMAO*]

OMG! LMAO!

That's a really good depiction of an individual, but man, I am definitely not that individual. I know there are those types out there who listen to The Cure & Depeche Mode, but I'm a HUGE Cure & DM fan as well and I'm definitely not the above. (See also: corporate type)

*laughs* Thanks ever so.

Weezer-24yo male wants to emulate their button down shirt under the tee shirt look but feels embarrassed and just practices the outfit at home in front of the mirror

― SplendidMullet (iamamonkey), Thursday, 17 April 2003 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

whos Craig david?

― SplendidMullet (iamamonkey), Thursday, 17 April 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh: I think, musically speaking, that Lisa Marie and her label are currently in the process of working out who exactly her fans are going to be. I'm actually pretty interested to see the results. Obviously they have a certain demographic in mind, but I get the feeling they're ready to be flexible on this one and sort of run with whatever fan base seems to respond.

Do members of Weezer really wear button-down shirts UNDER tshirts?? They SHOULD be embarassed!
