Why are young dudes dressing like 'queens', these days?

[darksun9210]

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!

Also, hipsters are still dressing wierdly.
