Rocker
-
a person who listens to any type of rock music. typically associated with [goth], [punk], and other subcultures. rockers have existed in many forms throughout the years and have often found themselves at odds with rappers, as the musical interests clash. however, this is not true for all rockers, as some listen to rap as well as rock. currently, many rockers have been subjected to the accusation of being a poser, because it is believed by many that a rocker only listens to one type of rock (ie. a punk might call a metalhead a poser). this is not true for all. rocker is general term, which can be confusing for some who try to understand the fine line between a rocker and a poser. Persecution of your own kind is a common affair with these people. You can find ten to twenty different rockers who have virtually nothing in common; conversely, you may find many rocker cliques in an area.

The term Rocker applies to any person who genuinely likes listening to any type of rock music over other types of music, but not ruling out other music styles. There are many types of of Rockers such as [Goths], [Emos], [Indies], [Moshers], [Punks], [Metalheads] and [Hippies] to name a few, it is not uncommon for the different types to argue amongst each other yet there can be also great friendships between different types. A person who has no affiliation must not be confused and take in that a certian group of rockers are infact [posers] or [wanabees] for this is an insult or term to call one fake or shallow and not being themselvs. Most Rockers are generally at odds with groups such as [Chavs], [Jocks] and [scallies] because those groups are generally [dickheads], [wankers] and/or [scumbags]!!! -
