LOL. You just described Bruno, the fashionista from the Ali G show.

I don’t care how people dress. It makes them an individual. If someone dresses in pink because its the “new thing”, THAT is what makes it stupid. [/quote]
yea, agreed. but these kids are wearing these girl pants. because its the “new thing”. I personally think it is the gayest thing.

When I see one these Metro guys with a good looking babe, I always wonder … is being Metro the PC way of showing off how much money one has to spare?
There’s got to be a reason why all these ‘superficials’ get all the babes … and why they all act and look the same … money seems to be the only common denominator that (almost) always works with women.
And if these Metros are closet gays … what are women doing with them, except making other women jealous of their ‘apparent’ status… like attracts like?

Are the type of women these superficial metro’s attracting really the kind you’d want to be with? For me, the answer is no.

Sure…for sex! Nothing wrong with having sex with hot chicks, even if they prefer metros!
Mullets were cool briefly about 3 years ago. But if you didn’t frequent artsy places, vintage shops, indie record stores, etc. you probably wouldn’t have noticed.

The thing that worries me about fashions coming back around is the possibilty that the MULLET may become mainstream again.
Pink shirts I can deal with, hell even stone washed jeans are tolerable. BUT NO FUCKING MULLETS.
Been there, did that, ashamed of myself for it.
Wow. Now the tables are turned … I think I’ll have to embrace the mullet WHEN (not if, but when) it honors us with a most triumphant return. Mullets are beyond the ubergay to the point of absolute coolness. Simply nodding the head forward and back and as a result having hair flip flop perfectly out of phase is awesome.
Plus, with a mustache and cut-off jean shorts, I’ll be the epitome of “stud-muffin”. Yes, I will drive a T-top Trans-Am or Firebird. Yes, one headlight will be stuck in the up position. And finally, yes, the eintire ceiling will have come unglued only to be hanging by the plastic frames around the doors, windows, and inoperable interior light.
By posting your strong opinions on what the youth of today is wearing it means that you have officially become old and out of it.
Every few years fashion and music change radically.
Each time, older people cling to what they thought was cool or appropriate in their day and shake their heads in disgust at what the kids are doing.
“This jazz is the devil’s music.”
“This rock and roll is the devil’s music.”
“Thie heavy metal is the devil’s music.”
“This RAP is the devil’s music.”
In the 50’s when my uncle was in his 20’s his parents got mad because he CAME HOME WEARING A SUIT.
Why? Because they THOUGHT IT MADE HIM LOOK LIKE A PUNK.
In the early 60’s Beatles inspired hair that was outrageous.
Then it was long hair through the hippy movement. And afros.
Then coloured hair and punk looks.
Shaved heads.
When I was in college in the early 90’s we all had long hair, goatees, plaid shirts, motorcycle jackets, ripped up jeans, wallet chains, and tall doc marten boots or work boots, and tattoos. Grunge dominated.
At the time, people were writing articles in the freaking newspaper about it being a “disgrace”.
In 1980 men’s shorts were short.
In 1990 men’s shorts were long.
In 1965 men’s pants stopped an inch or so about the shoe.
In 2005 men’s pants stop near the ground.
Sometimes suits have pleated pants.
Sometimes suits have flat front pants.
In the 1980’s suits had 2 buttons.
In the 1990’s suits had 3 buttons.
Houses were built with hardwood floors.
Then everyone carpeted over their hardwood floors.
Then 30 years later everyone pulled up their carpet and revealed their hardwood floors again.
I mean, seriously, it is absolutely meaningless to judge the fashion, style, and culture of people younger than you. It is almost guaranteed that you’ll hate it and it always will be.

Well, I turned 25 last October, which makes me officially outside of the “hip/cutting edge” demographic (18-24). So maybe you have a point. I will always think popped collars are gay. Weren’t they cool in the 80’s too? Hopefully what I consider “cool” will be back in style someday :-).

Fuck me runnin backwards! Only 21 years on this planet and I’m old and out of it.
OK, seriously the whole collar bullshit doesn’t bother me THAT much. What bothers me is people being so weak that they have to follow every little trend. I think some people actually look through magazines to see what kind of haircuts, clothes, beards, etc. the people in them are wearing. What happened to at least trying to be original?

Actually I do recall that, as I think the same male models sporting them were also donning capris. But they were only half-assed attempts, as a little wispy mullet doesn’t register in my book.
I’m talking the real deal - business in front and all kinds of party in the back. If you can’t pony tail it, it don’t count.
Maybe the Cheesemaro getting re-shit upon us will be just the catalyst I need to get mullets rocking again.
Kinda sorta sometimes but not exactly all the time. Some new stuff I like. Some old stuff I like. Hell even some gay stuff I like. I like lesbians, for example. Also I like electronic music. And if you’ve ever been to see a top DJ spin in Hollywood, well, take my word, IT’S TOTALLY GAY.

carpet is plain f*cking nasty. it’s a haven for dirt, mold, mites, and other sh!t i don’t like. it has nothing to do with being gay.
obviously i disagree. but remember the main thing is that we are trying to have some fun with it - kick off your docs, have a camel wide, and chill the f*ck out.
I can’t wait for the viking look to return to fashion. Lot’s of dead animals, leather, shoes that look like bandages and a mighty sword that require 2 years of training to just move, aah yees! I suppose for that old fashionto get back, we’ll have to get trough the old barock and renessaince look too, but it’s all worth it to do the conan look wherever
Nowadays everybody just points and laughs, even though my collar is tucked down (not pink either, i swear) ;(
