You ever meet someone and after talking to them and getting to know them you think, "yeah, I sort of figured they would have this personality because they look like they would"?

Fears defines a persons character? What they eat defines their character? What they watch defines their character?

Those are interesting metrics….

There isn’t reliability and that’s a terrible defense, since nothing really has reliable outcomes or results regardless. There is obviously differences and outliers on every dataset, but most goths have certain personalities, most punks share personalties, it’s literally what defines them…

They also aren’t stereotypes, that’s only if they are pretending to fit into that culture. You’ll know a punk when you see and meet them, same with goths, there is definitely merit there, despite your previous misconceptions.
