How to Be A Rocker Without Being Ridiculous

You are tired of your current life. You need a change. You need to become a rocker. But how do you do it without being ridiculous?

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. Be yourself, even as you upgrade to your new rocker image. Keep in mind that the best rockers really are themselves and that the tattoos, leather, and weird hair is just an image they've picked up along the way. The rocker image doesn't own you, you need to own it.

2. Do you really want to be a rock and rollerr? Is your image of a rocker the MTV, Hot Topic, mall version of limited aspiration?
   
   There are many musicians who are very normal looking, even while there fans look and act as if they stumbled out of the Sid & Nancy casting call.

3. So, you don't need a rock and roll image to make rock or appreciate music.

4. Live for the enjoyment of living. The most enjoying aspects of the rock and roll lifestyle are carefree attitude and the idea of "let's get the most out of what we have."

5. Just like the huge everybody's a skateboarder trend that happened a few years ago, way over acting that a person is an androgynous, damaged, musician is a trend for most. If you don't believe in it, don't do it, or you'll just be embarrassed by this "stage."
