(1) The Goth Artsy: Dark clothes Mysterious. Likes to pretend to be poor
for the rugged image. Most of their money is spent in expensive nightclubs
Short term goals- To look really cool
Long term goal- Commercial artist


(2) The Sensitive Guy: This species may be either be genuinly gay or just putting it on to impress the local community. In the case that his sensitive act is meerly a put on then there's a good chance this guy has a thing for fruit flies. Favorite words or expressionss" Postmodern discourse, or semiotic discourse" Likes Pretentious Instalation
art that communicates nothing to the average person. Also likes Photo text
based images
Short term Goal- To make art that will never become commodified so he can social climb the artworld and collect grants from government programs.

Long Term Goal- University tenure teaching possition where he can take trivial things and intellectualize then with all kinds of postmodernist jargon.

(3) Fruit Flies: These are usually attractive women who only tend to befriend gay men. While they might have straight aquaintances most of their close friends are gay men.

(4) The Bull Dyke: Usually very masculine looking women. Most but by no means not all of these women are lesbians. Perfered attire is mens work clothes possibly with a brush cut. These women enjoy text based conseptual art like Barbara Krugar. They like words like" Oppression"
"Patriarchal" and" Disempowerment" and "Empowerment" Phallocentric
and Mysoguinistic. They love reading high level Postmodernist Jargon that compairs Pablo Picasso to Hugh Heffner"

Goals similar to those of the sensitive guy but to play the affirmative action card.

(5) The Normal Guy/ Lady: This is usually someone in their late forties who has just discovered themselves. Has/She a very ordinary look. This
person usually comes from an upper middle class family thus enabling them to drop out and persue their dream. Or sometimes its a guy or gal who has found a wealthy spouse who will support them.
Short term goals- To sponge of whoever is supporting them.
Long term goals- Usually this species genuinly believes they will be famous.

(6) The Hippy- Gets into the scene becouse he/she believe that it's an easy way to drop out and take lots of drugs.
Short term goal- To get stoned
Long term goal- To stay stoned

(7) Post Punk- Gets into the scene to promote polical propoguanda.
Short term goal- To get arrested
Long term goals- To get aquited and make the system look bad

Where did all these 45-55 year old adjumma's get these Sid Vicous RIP
T-shirts. Vivian Westwood the lady who introduced the swastika to the punk scene is really popular here. I guess thats why Nazi theme bars are popular.

Fag hags _sleep_ with gay men (or try). Fruit flys refer to chicks who just like to hang out with gay friends or in the gay bars.
My friend Jeffrey thinks there should be a category for the classy gay man's friend: the Lady Chaperone.
