DJ's come in all shapes and sizes. In high school, the launching platform to adulthold, most teens (not all!) are molded into their various forms of mature adults. HS is also a place where DJ-hood is established.
Although there is not set "type" or "mold" of and for a DJ, there are certain categories in which DJ's can fall into, just as with anything and everything in the universe.
For instance, there is the "the skater DJ" - the guy who's dressed in DC shoes, the ****ies, etc... or the "playa DJ" - the guy who's decked out in Enyce or Sean John... the "Abercrombie guy"... etc.
I'm gonna present my version of the "playa/hip hop DJ" from my observations.
**Style - definitely urban influenced ~ enyce, ecko, sean john, roca wear, phat farm, du-rags, fitted caps, jerseys, lugz, timbs, AF1s, uptowns, "baggy" pants and oversized shirts, various forms of "ice" or bling bling (which is now an official word in the Oxford English Dictionary)
**Music - hip hop, R&B
**Cars - increasingly the hip hop lifestyle has been linked to cars, "sitting on dubs", etc. Usually the import, mitsubishi, toyotas, hondas... racers like to trick out their car. It's gotta be fast, or big, or both, with a "bumpin" system
**Crowd - hip hop DJs are, more often than not, minorities - blacks, asians. Asians tend to hang out with Asians, blacks with blacks, or a mix. The infamous "Crew" ~ the demi-entourage of a hip hop DJ... his "wingmen" ~ often "roll" together (as into clubs, etc.)
**Demeanor - uses slang, ebonics-associated language, walks very non-chalant, unaffected. Possess "badass", "rebelliouis" qualities because his appearance, lifestyle is seen as the opposite of the established, white "suburbian" way of life.
Please post your impression of a ( ) DJ.
