What's with yellow spikey hair, stupid colored T-Shirts with silly logo's on them, womens blouses, womens pants, and 'man-bags' ?
So many 18 to 22 Y/O dudes I see around this area are dressing like that.
Somebody please tell me!
-
I think its all about looking like Eminem, or something like that. BTW, its not only the 18-22 year olds, but males as young as 10 as well, I see it all the time at work. Whats even worse is primary school kids with mobile phones :-o :-o :-o

That mobile phone in school thing is stupid. I never had a mobile when I went to school. I wasted all my money on Coke and dohnuts! ;)
Eminem? What is that all about?
If I had a 10 year old son, and found that he was dressing like that, I'd either 'ground' him, or take him to a psychologist! :lol:

Very rarly does a child actually pay for the mobile phone, the parents do, people must have too much disposable income these days. I say its time we brought shirts, ties, blazers and corporal punishment back into schools!!!

While we're at it, we may as well bring back Conscription as well :-D

I don't think expensive uniforms will solve the mobile phone thing.
I'm against that.

NO!
Conscription will help this joint in absolutely no way whatsoever!

Sorry, I was refering to the rather crappy dress sense kids have today.

The problem is that fashion is horrible! It's not just men's clothes, it's all clothes! Naah! I'll stick to the jeans and a t-shirt... :-D

This reminds me of something one of my friends said yesterday. Something like this, "What is it with 'hairstyles' these days? It seems as if someone has had their hair cut by a maniac who has selected random locks of hair, cut them to random lengths and then thrown hair dye at them. And the fact people pay up to 60 pounds [~100USD] for this! I'm in the wrong occupation, I should be a hairdresser!"

In the days of separated families, often so the parent who is not living with the child to phone them in privacy whenever they want, without having to deal with the fruitloop ex. :-)

Why are young dudes dressing like 'queens', these days?
Look, you can moan about it, but you can also enjoy it
it's your choice
it doesn't harm anyway.
And I do not have the slightest problem with it 8-)

Without having any experience with them myself, I think school uniforms sound like a good idea.
At least it should put an end to (or negate the "excuse" for) the bullying of kids who dress "differently" or simply have parents who can't afford to constantly keep their kids supplied with the latest fashion gear.
It would probably help improve the overall climate and discipline in schools, what with the clearer border between "school time" and "play time" that the uniform would signify.
Corporal punishment? Nah. But I do think that it's absurd when teachers are charged with assault if they grab an unruly pupil by the arm, or if they defend themselves when they get a fist in the face(!) from a kid that obviously shouldn't be attending a normal school in the first place.
Re. weird fashion: I'm constantly amazed by humanity's ability to always pick the most ugly and ridiculous things to reuse in "retro" fashion. I'm sure there was something that looked good even in the Decade of Ugly, the 1970s, so why choose to reuse something horrid like bell-bottom pants of all things today? And now when the fashion gurus have started reusing the 1980s, puffy hair and huge semi-tinted sunglasses should be things to avoid. But do they listen to me? Nooooo.... ;)

I think this quote applies to this thread...
I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's "it" seems weird and scary...

Couldn't agree more. Many schools in Victoria now have uniforms, but they are not what I would call a full school uniform, more a pair of school track pants, a school polo top and a school jumper. I kinda like the idea of shirts, ties etc., it teaches young people how to look professional.
Corporal punishment? Nah. But I do think that it's absurd when teachers are charged with assault if they grab an unruly pupil by the arm, or if they defend themselves when they get a fist in the face(!) from a kid that obviously shouldn't be attending a normal school in the first place.
How about shock collars??? :lol:

You're right. It is fashion. And fashion is crap.
But that's no excuse for men to wear stupid womens clothing.
I predict (I'll even make a bet) that in the future, some fashion nut will invent a fashion for men that is pink dresses, and a whole bunch of brainless air-head dudes will blindly follow.
-
Its simple.
Lack of a fashion sense. . . . :lol:
-
What I want to know is, for casual clothing, what's wrong with just ordinary Jeans and a T-Shirt? That was a perfectly okay thing to wear back in my days*. :-)
(*And since the 50's for that matter)
-
Some of my fashion pet peeves.
Baggy jeans with oversize pockets worn pulled down over boxers.
Dark single color hooded sweatshirts. (people who wear these look like they're about to rob a liquor store) :lol:
Madonna wannabe outfits (luckilly extinct!)
Goth crap.
Whatever happened to people dressing to look GOOD? I saw these new jeans at wallmart that were prestained with what looked like dirty motor oil! Why the hell would you want your jeans to look like you just got up off of a garage floor??? What's so uncool about a clean pair of Levi's?
-
Baggy jeans with oversize pockets worn pulled down over boxers.
:lol: Hate that one, too.

Or just for practicality, like me in my cheap casual clothing.

Actually, dressing like my brother* (http://www.dansdata.com/psycho.htm) would be better - as much as his clothing sucks.
* Actually, my brother usually wears black pants, instead of blue.

what the fcuk are they doing, I've seen several Gangs of youths dressed like this... They all walk around with their trousers so oversized that they have to hold them up... well I say hold them up, more like hould them just up to their boxers...
These people are idiots, and should be put to death with immediate effect.
Dark single color hooded sweatshirts. (people who wear these look like they're about to rob a liquor store) :lol:
Hoodies are for socially retarted teenagers.

when you say Goth, I think you mean that lame punk/metal/goth/grunge fusion that seems to have sprung up. Propper Goths look really good. Lots of Velvet, silk, satin, lace, leather, latex, PVC... Yeah they look good.

Proper goths looks like well-dressed vampires.

I couldn't agree more, Matt. Now if only I could find one of the chinese variety. :love:
Of course, I'd probably have a better chance finding a one-armed, one-legged hooker with chocolate milk in her titties, named Eileen. :-?
You know, one thing that I CANNOT stand about those people wearing their underwear over their big, baggy pants or however they do is when they are wearing an unbuckled belt. :inquisitive: Why even BOTHER to wear a belt, if you're not going to use it to hold up your freakin pants??!??

You old grandads sound just like my old man! :lol: The days where people used to wear trousers, suits and ties (pre 1960) are long gone. And as much as you guys don't like it, you just gonna have to face it - TIMES HAVE CHANGED!
Personally i wear jeans and a plain shirt when going out clubbing/pubbing, etc. Otherwise, just wear sport trousers and tops! :-)

Oh yeah, and concerning goths: I think that idiots like Marilyn Manson are just wannabes. The real goth are people like Meat Loaf! :nervous:

Bush isn't. almost 50% of the regular army troops in Iraqi are NOT re-enlisting (go figure). He's gotta have cannon fodder so he can continue his war profiteering for oil. It's political suicide to do it now. He'll wait until he's re-elected, but he and his cabinet have already made hints about it.
@ Speel,
I have *NO* problems with people wearing whatever they want. I just find it ridiculous to see a grown man wearing shorts SObig, he has to continually hold them up with his hand, yet he's wearing a belt that is unbuckled. There's nothing wrong with wearing something to make a statement, but that is just ignorance. Sure, it may be the new 'fashion' trend, but have some self-respect. Not EVERYONE wants to see your whitey-tighty's and why one earth wear a belt, if you're NOT going to wear it properly??!?? :ranting:

Yes, that looks too silly to express in words, mainly because it's not practical. Such fashion is just for a short while and then everyone admits that it looked extremely silly. But good fashion stays good, even if it's thousands of years old. I just love Indonesian clothes, for instance.

I've been a slave to fashion at one point. I'm sure there's pictures of me floating around wearing bellbottoms and shirts with HUGE collars, even some cowboy steelo shirts.
When I was in high school, there WAS no fashion anymore. At that point, the closest thing to a fad I can remember are the "touchy-feely" fuzzy shirts that were common. Men used to wear them to school just so the girls would touch them. :lol:

Enh, if you want the real answer to the transgender elements in recent male fashion...
Chicks dig it.
That's a generalization, of course, but there's a reasonable enough subset of the female population who appreciate either the 'confidence' or 'sensitivity' that sort of style exudes. Meanwhile, it lets those with an actual interest in pushing the boundaries blend in (a few surprisingly unrelated subgenres there), and acts as 'camo' for the truly reactionary sorts to be able to assert their masculinity and possibly have an excuse to beat the crap out of someone while still feeling attractive. "Everybody wins."
I think the amusing trend right now is "Steampunk" (secretly a warming over of certain aspects of '80s retro/'true goth' aspects, crossed with Clockwork Orange and Gibson fetishism) ... Watch out for monocles making a comeback.
---
The whole baggy-pants thing took off for a number of reasons (rave fashion, appeal to awkward teens, cargo pockets for geeks/druggies, ease-of-shoplifting for some of the more urban types)... Dunno about the more absurd examples, but I'd say it beats Spandex on most people. ;-)
---
Uniforms and dress codes can work to an extent (in terms of keeping everyone equally uncomfortable and disgruntled), but as someone who had his shoes stolen the first week at a dress-code enforcing school, they also increase the potential for malfeasance by imposing an irrational penalty.
---
Oh yeah, and it sucks to go shopping for normal pants or shorts when you have a <=29" inseam. Apparently Americans aren't supposed to come shorter than 6', or I need to lose 50 more pounds.

Hey all I'd just like to mention I'm 17 and I don't dress like a Queen and although I had a mobile phone in High school I was one of the last to get one and had to get a job to pay for it, I agree it's silly how some parents pay money out willy nilly and spoil their kids when they should be teaching them that in order to get anywhere in life you need to work...

Emo, pre-2001: More cerebral sub-genre of punk/indie-rock. The lyrics are non-political, instead being rather obsessive (names, dates, times and places are often noted) musings on love, hope, desperation, etc. The musical style varies from full-tilt hardcore to acoustic stuff, but is generally melancholic (although not always melodic) and rhythmically off-kilter.
Emo, post-2001: A haircut.

Most are old 80's punk bands.
There's NOTHING at all wrong with 80's metal. In fact, I wish it would make a come back. I'm REALLY tired of the crap they play on the radio, simply 'cos the Radio Execs say 'Hey that's what all the kids wanna listen to.' It's all commercialism. You don't have a best seller on your freshman album, you're cut by your parent company.
I LOVE Vivaldi and baroque will always have a place in the hearts of true musical fans.
I just don't like the fact how generalized the music industry has become. Every band sounds the same, uses the same chords, etc. it's almost like they're afraid to write something original.
BTW, I'm getting *MY* tickets to see Van Halen in September this weekend. I'm not really a BIG fan, or much of a fan at all, but I'd like to be able to say that I saw them once upon a time. Sammy Hagar's back in the band and that man has some MAD tequila. :-o

Oh the people on here crack me up. While the young "dudes" dress up like "queens" these days, i bet that the old folk on here wear ties and suits and use pocket watches to see the time. No messing around with you old dudes is there? :-)

What's with yellow spikey hair, stupid colored T-Shirts with silly logo's on them, womens blouses, womens pants, and 'man-bags' ?
So many 18 to 22 Y/O dudes I see around this area are dressing like that.
Somebody please tell me!
Could you please provide a picture to prove your point?
From the way you word it, its like an 80s rival. Don't you remember that band 'Flock of Seagulls' ? The 80s were rife with guys with spikey hair, womens blouses, and stupid coloured T shirts with logo's on them...

60s: "Who needs to bathe? OOH! Faux indian is awesomes!"
70s: Liberace, Ziggy Stardust, disco....need I continue?
80s: the Mullet
The Defense Rests.

i'm thinking of going completely the other way. it's Movember coming up, and what could go better with some full on victorian face fuzz, than a waistcoat, stovepipe top hat, and pocket watch.
actually, the modern pocket watch idea i've been trying to realise. round, gold bodied touchscreen phone, with lid, in pocket watch style. bluetooth headset in hat maybe?
would love an excuse to wear a waistcoat and stuff, and generally look "the bollocks" (this is a good thing).
one worry that has been raised, is that these floppy haircuts that cover one eye are leading to an increase in childhood "lazy eye". doesn't effect older teens or adults so much as the muscles are more developed. But in younger people, it seems more prevelent.
i had a little chuckle to myself at that one.

Emo, pre-2001: More cerebral sub-genre of punk/indie-rock. The lyrics are non-political, instead being rather obsessive (names, dates, times and places are often noted) musings on love, hope, desperation, etc. The musical style varies from full-tilt hardcore to acoustic stuff, but is generally melancholic (although not always melodic) and rhythmically off-kilter.
Emo, post-2001: A haircut.
Reminds of a joke I heard from a comedian ages ago (cant even remeber who it was) that went:
I wish my lawn was emo, then it would cut itself!
:roflmao:

Maybe you should spend less time in gay bars...
What's with yellow spikey hair, stupid colored T-Shirts with silly logo's on them, womens blouses, womens pants, and 'man-bags' ?
So many 18 to 22 Y/O dudes I see around this area are dressing like that.
Somebody please tell me!

Waistcoat and pocket watch would be awesome.
I have a soviet army coat I tend to wear in the fall, and I've been meaning to get a pocket watch to go with it, as pulling out your cell phone to check the time just seems wrong (no cell phones on the five year plan!)

I don't really mind the fruitcakes. They're odd, but at least a little bit amusing.
I'm more bothered by all the generic white trash sporting goatees and stereotypical tattoos.

Here in portland, it feels weird if you /don't/ see a "dude look like a lady" (aerosmith moment there).
What i am tired up is the urban-pseudo hippie/hipster trash. Goatee/moustache, knitted hats, "ironic" 80's tshirts and a bottle of PBR while rocking out to their Ipod.
**** you people.

Daym, that's a nice necro! :D
Also, hipsters are still dressing wierdly.
