Pink hair and colorful socks are, in fact, the quickest way to making friends with small children. Well, having a puppy might be faster.
Either way, their parents will usually think that you're a creep.
I suppose the "punk = lazy" stereotype is the same as the "Hispanics = lazy" stereotype. I don't get it either, but, of course, it's a knee-jerk reaction based on the idea that if you don't work in an office, obviously you don't have a "real job".
It's just such a seventies thing to say. Like, something an old man who has been dead for twenty years might have said thirty years ago. This guy was probably my age, and he wasn't wearing a suit, and he wasn't driving, so it wasn't his truck he was yelling out of. Just doesn't make any sense.
Most of the kids I come in contact with have parents as poor and as slovenly as I am, and they don't give a shit. Usually they're just happy their kid is distracted for a half a second.
