The Skaters 

   A
As the name suggests, skaters spend as much time as possible on a
skateboard. On Saturday after breakfast, they text "See you down the
skatepark!" to their friends, grab their boards and go. When they're not
skating, they're thinking about it, and their lifestyle choices all relate to their
hobby. Clothes are loose to let them skate comfortably: long-sleeved and
short-sleeved T-shirts (sometimes both at the same time), hoodies, baggy
jeans and trainers. They don't usually let their hair grow very long. Their
music tends to be loud and fast - punk, hip hop and sometimes metal - and
when they aren't skating, you can find them at home with their skater friends,
playing some high-speed computer game.
The Indies    B

The name indie comes from the word ‘independent’, and that says it all,
really. Of course, there's indie rock - indies are into that music in a big way -
but if you're a true indie, it means you don't go where the crowd goes, but
follow your own likes and preferences. What is strange, though, is that indies
end up looking quite similar. They like plain T-shirts, cardigans, skinny jeans
and hats. Fringes are popular. Indies love anything arty, from painting to
photography and art-house cinema. You can find indies in art galleries,
watching bands in tiny clubs and hanging out in cafés, having deep
discussions about life.
The Techies  C

Techies live and breathe computers, science and technology. They are the
nerds and geeks of the old days, but they are more popular now because they
can fix any problem their friends have with their computers and smartphones.
These whizz-kids are as happy chatting online as in person - though most of
their conversation is impossible for the average person to understand. Glasses
are common, probably from all the time they spend staring at a screen.
Clothes are generally jeans and a T-shirt, perhaps with a cool science design
or a funny slogan like "Don't trust atoms - they make up everything!"
Fashion's not a big deal for them, though, unless it's the latest gadget - that's a
must-have!
