I have read some psychological studies where people will sometimes wear a rubberband around their wrist to help break a habit or a thought pattern that they wish to be rid of. For example, if a person swears and wants to break that habit, they may choose to wear a rubberband. Then, as soon as they slip up and cuss, they pull the band back and let go - it pops their wrist. The thought behind this is it's a kind of physical punishment for doing the thing you are trying to stop, and you begin to associate that small pain with the act of doing whatever it is you want to stop. To avoid the pain, you learn to stop doing the behavior. Of course, my daughter just likes to wear them so she can pull one off and shoot it at someone...

What is the definition of the stereotype indie?
it originally stood for independent music labels but nowadays it is defined by a type of music somewhere between rock and pop. Indie singers and bands have certain ethics like sticking to their roots and not embracing the celebrity money-grabbing culture. An Indie band is said to 'sell out' if they let their music be used corporately e.g on an advert or to be motivated by money rather than making music. Indie bands always write their own songs. There are also some articles on wikipedia and in urban dictionary that may help :)
What are the type of propaganda?
1. Testimonial: - This Propaganda technique uses words of an expert or a famous person to promote a particular idea. For example, a sports person is shown recommending a brand of sport shoes. Generally, people identify themselves to some celebrated figure. So celebrities are used to advertise certain products. A testimonial has to be reasonable. Advertisers are cautioned not to use false testimonials, as they lack authenticity. 2. bandwagon: It aims at persuading the people to do a certain thing because many other people are doing it. An example can be when a person started wearing silly bands, everybody started doing that. That shows that people are easily to bandwagon with. 3. transfer: In this technique, qualities of a known person are associated with a product to promote or demote it. Linking an item to a respected person is positive transfer. Creating an analogy between a disliked person and a product is negative transfer. It is also used during war times.

How do you know if you're becoming emo?
emo = tormented soul A lot of the times emos are known for depression and sadness. But that's not true for all of them. Some have fun and go around with others, but they still have depression on the inside. Someone will start to know if they are emo by listening to the music. If the music has turned into hardcore bands that started in the 1980s and has mutated into describing angst-filled bands. There are a lot of emotions involved. Moody/attitudes will happen. They will not feel understood. Some express themselves in poetry, music, and/or art. A lot of true emo people tend to be creative while expressing their lives and feelings. Hair styles. Not just hair styles, but everything above. (You aren't considered emo just because of your hair) Emo girls and guys usually wear their hair swept to one side. It is usually longer in front and shorter in back. But it doesn't have to be short. There are many creative, true emo people who have their own unique styles. Having a unique style is what makes up most of the emo in that person. Make-up. If your a guy, usually there is make-up involved. If you check the eye-lids who yourself or the person you assume to be emo, they will most likely have eyeliner on. Girls usually wear it more thicker than guys. But also, just like hair, emo make-up is done in a very unique, special way that fits the person's personality. NOT a true sign. Spreading around the media sources are "facts" that emo kids cut themselves. NOT TRUE! Most emo kids do not cut themselves. Some do. Just because a person cuts themselves don't not consider them a true emo. Clothing styles. Usually they are known to wear vests, skinny jeans, big plastic, non-expensive bead-like jewelry. Emo people are not always wearing black. In fact, most emo kids have multiple different colors combined in their outfits. Again, their styles will be unique and will reflect their personalities. This may help but I'm not totally sure. If you or someone you know does become emo, I would strongly recommend NOT cutting yourself. It ruins your body and it doesn't look pretty. My friend has cut herself in many places and know her self esteem is very low! She doesn't weat bathing suits, and she will usually wear a jacket/sweatshirt no matter how warm it is. I would definitely stay away from cutting.
