[6:38:14 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: The punk sterotype are rebels, right?
[6:38:33 PM] Gaserlake: Huh?
[6:38:39 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: A punk is a rebel
[6:38:41 PM] Gaserlake: Yeah.
[6:38:46 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: ...so then why
http://girl-just-let-go-200.deviantart.com/art/Punk-65927267[6:39:17 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: Dog Tags = Military = Not Rebel =/= punk ?
[6:39:32 PM] Gaserlake: I think punk is a style, but rebellious is a characteristic of one.
[6:39:54 PM] Gaserlake: Like emo is a style, but depressed is a characteristic.
[6:39:56 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: Yeah I know hot topic sells dog tags in punkish style. But how is turning military stuff punk if it's opposites
[6:40:05 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: Unless it's doing it on purpose to disgrace it..
[6:40:17 PM] Gaserlake: Well... it's a style, not a LIFEstyle.
[6:40:23 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: True
[6:40:27 PM] Gaserlake: Though styles CAN be lifestyles...
[6:40:45 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: I can see them taking military and other stuff and in a way purposefully disrespecting it by using it.
[6:40:57 PM] Gaserlake: But rebellion is a characteristic of a punk, not a definition of a punk.
[6:41:12 PM] Gaserlake: and lol.

[6:41:24 PM] Gaserlake: LOL
[6:41:25 PM] Gaserlake: THat's my Hiikaru.
[6:44:48 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: "Since the late 1990s, custom dog tags have become fashionable amongst musicians (particularly rappers), and as a marketing giveaway item. Numerous companies offer customers the opportunity to create their own personalized dog tags with their own photos, logos, and text. Even high-end jewelers have featured gold and silver dog tags encrusted with diamonds and other jewels. "
[6:46:26 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: Then again military can't raelly claim it either
[6:46:32 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: I mean... Dogs had them first >.>
[6:46:36 PM] Gaserlake: LOL
[6:46:57 PM] Gaserlake: I can see you having dog tags. For style, I mean.
[6:47:01 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: ...
[6:47:10 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: At one time I did want them, and I have the hot topic ones, yes
[6:47:17 PM] Gaserlake: lol
[6:47:23 PM] Gaserlake: What changed your mind? The military thing?
[6:47:33 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: My cousin Shelby made me want them. As she got me into the 'style'
[6:47:40 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: But yeah, later when I got older to know what they were
[6:47:50 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: At the time I thought it was just copying a cat or dog
[6:47:55 PM] Gaserlake: >>
[6:48:01 PM] Gaserlake: Well... you ARE a cat... and you are MY dog. :3
[6:48:06 PM] Gaserlake:

[6:48:34 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: However, why do they refer to them as dog tags? Aren't they then referring to themselves as dogs and less than people?
[6:49:00 PM] Gaserlake: Well... just cuz you have dog tags, it doesn't mean you're a dog.
[6:49:09 PM] Gaserlake: It's just a convenience thing.
[6:49:28 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: Uhh hmm
[6:49:31 PM] Gaserlake: I mean... what's more convenient than a small metal tag that has your name and your ID imprinted on it, and doesn't weigh much, and won't get lost?
[6:49:46 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: Dog Tags... Obedience training, order taking, loyalty...
[6:49:46 PM] Gaserlake: Not much, I presume.
[6:49:49 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright: I'd say they're dogs
[6:49:54 PM] Gaserlake: Well, yes. THey are like dogs.
[6:50:06 PM] Hikaru/Ember Bright:

So Gaserlake IS a dog
[6:50:08 PM] Gaserlake: >>
