What's the point of going through the trouble to dye your hair, get a bunch of facial piercings, tattoos, etc.? I don't understand why people feel motivated enough to do so. It seems like a desperate cry for attention. People can do what they want. Some people say it's a way of "expressing themselves", but all this really expresses in my opinion is "I went through this trouble to look odd...so look at me!" And in some neighbourhoods, this is so common that it can't be attributed to a desire to be unique. What's so great about looking unique anyway?
Mind you, I come from a punk rock family, who shaved my head and forced me to go to school with a mohawk and full "hardcore regalia" for years. My dad pierced my septum when I was 6 as well. I come from a liberal, anarchist background. So it would seem that I would identify with the "alternative appearance" crowd more but I just don't get it. Can anyone help me understand?
That, oooorrrr, you simy hated it, and for forgetting the proper term- traumatized by it. Thus would rather look "normal," and contemporary.

If it annoys you to see people with dyed hair and piercings, first of all, try concentrating on the world at large and finding something much more worthy of being annoyed about, and second of all, turn your head and look elsewhere.
Eh, I'm still working on getting my ears up to a 00ga, just got my first two tattoos. Yay counter-culture! People always whine, and complain about what's different, or what they don't understand, anything that doesn't seem right in their little world of perfection. Hate it, despise it, come down like rolling thunder, at the end of the day, my tats are still going to be there, I'll still.be planning on buying another pair of Tripps, that chick is probably gonna plan neon green when she's tired of purple, and no effs will be given for those John Publics, and Joan Publics out there.

Insult me by labeling my inquiry for clarification "whining". That's a poor way to help another understand to your motive.
What you find annoying only applies to you and no one else.
People should also be free to do as they want to their own bodies without being judged by others for their choices.
You are presenting the same thing you state you dislike posting on this forum and starting a thread.
It is saying "I went through this trouble to start a thread and post my annoyance of something...so look at me!"
No dumb person, I made this thread in an attempt to understand others more. Everyone must have a reason to do the things they do. So far, not much of an answer, just insults
I have to admit that sometimes I just stare their number of jewellery and wonder if it hurts to talk or eat and are they able to wash their faces, use a face towel, Is food always between a tongue and a ring and do they wash it, how long it takes to set all these rings and take them off, how they see their holes without rings, especially those big ones, are not they uncomfortable etc.

It's all about choice; you didn't choose to have all this done to you. It was forced upon you.
Perhaps if your parents had forced you to wear button-down shirts, khakis, and loafers every day you would've grown up to want full hardcore regalia.
