Stupid Trends

[jynxxxedangel]

Will the jelly slogan bracelet ever die? I think they're played-out.

Or those UGLY terrycloth jogger's wristbands?? I remember wearing those godawful things back when Def Leppard was still on the Top 40 list. Mine were Adidas, I remember. I had the ugly Adidas terrycloth golfer's visor to match. YECH!

Or the positively hässlich 70's-early 80's-reproduction velour jogging suit sets that are coming back into style!!!! TRIPLE YUCK!!! They are even in the same gross colours as back in the day..lime Koolaid puke-stain green, grandma's rumpus room couch orange, that nondescript shit-brown colour that inevitably ends up covered in light-coloured nappies from your cat or dog's hair, the old mustard stain on your wifebeater yellow, etc. These retro colours are UGLY UGLY and UGLY.

I absolutely HATE these jelly bracelets, wristbands, jogging suits, and the horrible retro colours equally. All should stay in the fashion boneyard, in my own humble opinion.

Trends I have seen:

Couples going out, the woman look very classy/respectable in a dress, and the guy is out in a t-shirt and jeans, looking like he just got off work. WTF?? If a woman is going to go through the effort of looking nice, at least put on a shirt and slacks.

Men's clothing looking baggy. (think I mentioned this before)

id still go out with a t-shirt and jeans. cause more likely im not going to go to something high class. if i was im sure id be wearing those slacks everywhere else to conform to corporate dress code. then id wear the t-shirt and jeans to escape corporate hell.. the person id be dating should know that i find her more attractive without make up and some expensive dress. and even more without anything on. clothing is just there to hide things, and keep you warm

IM JUST A BAD CHEAP IMITATION OF GOTH.

LOL HAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

Nobody has ever accused me of being emo.

When I walk around people clearly ask Are You Gothic, I

smile, look back and say what else would I be and keep walking.

Its so Awesome. If i ever got accused of being emo I

might have to go off on the idiot that said I was.

Harassing emo kids that sound fun.

When can I join these activities?

*I know in a different thread i said I dont really care about emo kids being emo but they are so KGFAGHASJJHGJHGHJSGBHJGHJADDFHG*

No, but see, I'm assuming you're not from a homogenized preppy hell hole (i.e. Fraser, MI). Since emo is what's all over TV and radio, preppy people see goth people around these parts and just straight out call us emo. You know, as if we're like them and the second we saw the hawt new trend! ( harder than I ever have before) we're now "emo". I even got into a 30 minute debate with a thug kid as to the fact that goth and emo are clearly separate subcultures, goth being around longer and is to the point where it's not necessarily a fad like emo is, and why they're separate (i.e. the clothes differences, general musical tastes, the fact that we're not all pussies by default but emos are, etc) and the kid STILL did not believe me. Still calls all goth people emo.

Now do you understand my pain and frustration?

Basically, it's like those ignorant assholes that call all Asian people Chinese, when clearly there's places like Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, Korea, etc and they're ALL very different in culture.

Just because emos and goths wear black, goths generally wearing a bit more, most preppy people now call all goths "emo" because it's easier on them (wouldn't want them to have to think abstractly or anything) and it's what's big in the media at the moment.

Capri pants and leggings....lol couldn't agree more. Wish my kids didn't like that look gawd if that doesn't scream WHICH GENERATION AM I IN?

Its like a bit o dirty dancing and flashdance mixed together.

Once upon a time, back when Grandmaw Jynxxxie was in high school, she was a skater punk. We wore flannels (usually tied by the arms of the shirt at the waist), droopy stovepipe pants (usually Stussy's), and boots, most of the time.

A trend began where the "hip hoppers" began dressing similarly. They stole our loose-fitting style and cut of clothing, and slapped different "urban" brand names on it. This caused much confusion in the land amongst the general public, very similar to the "goths" and "emos" situation. This also caused much confusion among my subculture..you couldn't really tell " sk8 brethren" from their clothing alone, anymore! This right was around the same time the "Carhartt" and "Timberland" fads began to become popular. Believe it or not, the "saggy baggy clothes" were in with the skater punks and hardcores, before the thugs adopted them as costume!

This ends my tale of fashion. It only goes to show-- what's old is what's new, and usually with a helluva plot twist.

I also don't know why jelly shoes are making a come back. Not only are they ugly, they are uncomfortable as hell. I wore them as a kid, and again when they came back in my early teens, and I think every pair I ever owned gave me blisters.

Wearing bandanas or head scarves in public. They're fine if you're just cleaning or gardening, but worn out in public they give the same effect as wearing pjs and slippers. Sloppy and unkempt.

*edited to clarify that I'm not referring to those who wear head scarves for cultural/religious reasons*

I never quite understood the "hippie babushka" thing, either. I guess it's an excuse to wait another day to wash one's hair.

I sometimes wear a chiffon scarf to protect my hair-do, if I'm going to Cruise Night in a convertible, but I always take it off and put it into my purse before exiting the car.

The only time I wear a bandanna, is if I have a motorcycle helmet over it. They keep my hair from becoming "helmet head." Straight bangs with a big sweaty line stamped into them from the helmet padding SUCKS.

I think the "ponytail and ballcap" look is much neater and cuter, for those days when one needs to go incognito.

Bandannas look too grubby for outer wear. Take that old rag off your head, use it to finish your dusting, then toss it in the laundry bin-- and put on a ballcap instead, for Pete's sake!

i never got where emos and goths collide. is it the new wave and dark wave bands that helped them collide. most emos i know are like metrosexual punks.

Those really short dresses you wear with jeans, or skirt over jeans. Pick one or the other you look like you fell in you laundry basket and wore what ever stuck to you.

What is it with the younger Coney Island restaurant waitresses, and this skirt-over-jeans thing??

I see this fad popular mostly with young food service waitresses.

[Jessika Fxckin rocks (1)]

Or cheerleaders before a game. Wear a skirt or pants decide dont just say well I'm gonna wear both

[jynxxxedangel]

If you get that cold that easy, you shouldn't be on the squad. We all know football season comes around when the air has a snap to it!

What about those people who try and wear side-ponies? I think Lady Sov is the only one who can really pull it off!

[Jessika Fxckin rocks (1)]

lol or if u had ur hair in pigtales and someone came by and cut one off

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

White kids who think they are Rastafarians. Read a history book you twit. It's like a black man joining the KKK.

I am in dislike with them thinking that the dog is a cool fashion trend....poor animals

Yes! I detest seeing these fuckwits with the overbred little yappy rat dog in a fancy dog purse. And of course the poor beast is usually wearing a matching stupid little outfit. You just know the owner bought the dog solely so they could buy the dog purse & clothes to tote it around in. For all they care it could be a fucking teddy bear. Pets should be beloved and respected companions, not fashion accessories or expressions of your warped personality.

I totally don't get the skirt-over-jeans thing, either. Leggings, OK- that can look cute & stylish. But the skirt over jeans looks like you're a fucking refugee... or a peasant going out to pick coal off the railroad tracks.

I also hate princess stuff. Especially the Disney princesses for little girls. They're the worst role models I can imagine- none of them even DOES anything in her own damn movie but sit and wait to be rescued. But maybe I'm just prejudiced 'cos my MaMa wouldn't take us to Disney films when I was a cub.

Then there's the t-shirts and other gear plastered with legends that celebrate negative character traits- "spoiled", "expensive", "shopaholic", whatever. If they were honest they'd say stuff like "vapid", "sheeplike", and "halfwit".

@ picking coal off the railroad tracks..

My mamaw used to have us kids do that, when I was growing up! There was a coal stove in our pumphouse, on which we made our supply of hot water each day.

What about that awful trend of the 70's and early 80's which is coming back-- the one where women wear the tall leather autumn boots with the harem-type pants tucked in at the top? UGH! Almost as bad, are the long A-line or broomstick skirts, worn with the same kind of boots.

Trucker hats that you spend $50 on unless u got it free cause you are or know a trucker its lame

[C3r4ph1m]

I think its got to be emo for me... i hate them, whiny little bastard with no respect for the subcultures they're ripping off...

at least when i was younger i was fully aware of the origins of goth and punk, not just vapidly applying eyeliner and stupidly tight t-shirts...

i have a fantastic t-shirt that says 'I Kill Emo Kids' in a stencil graffiti effect with an M16 sillhouetted over the top...

they need to learn...

Muslim women annoy me, no not in the "let's go slapping bitches" way.. Islam already has enough wife-beaters being the horrible cult that it is.

But why are Muslim women allowed to look like ninjas?

If I go to a job interview drunk on sake and dressed like a Ninja, and I don't get kicked out, and the Employer says, "Okay, I'm going to ask you a few questions.."

..and say I yell while doing hand motions, "ASK A NINJA!"

I'm not going to get hired. Hell, I'm probably not going to get hired anyways because it's MI.

All I'm saying is don't dress like a mother f***in' ninja, if your not a real ninja.

I hate guys in girls pants. Ya know those tight ass skinny jeans. How do those guys even walk in those? Don't they have anything between their legs? They look soo stupid.

People who wears Ugg boots with shorts. Short shorts and then they wear leggings under them..looks really dumb.

EMO haircuts...the ratted hair...or bangs in eyes and multiple layers sticking out. UGLY

Velour sets...don't wear them outside the house.

[pheramoans]

Trucker hats that you spend $50 on unless u got it free cause you are or know a trucker its lame

I used to wear one of those...but in my defense i bought it for only $8 at some little store in SC and it said 'Von Bitch'...making fun of the Von Dutch shit everyone was wearing at the time.

I loved that hat

[jynxxxedangel]

Do you think any of those kids actually know who Von Dutch was?? I come from a biker family, so I was raised hearing that name. The old guy's probably turning cartwheels in his grave over what's become of his moniker!

Kenny Howard, AKA "Von Dutch"

Most likely not, they were probably just wearing it because express carries it.

Wigger wear(prison uniforms janitor uniforms)anyone that can't be themselves.

Anything remotely "trendy" makes me want to vomit. It's just a natural aversion I have to popular things. Now, If I found something I thought was adorable or cute and it was trendy, I would possibly buy it? It's just never happened.

I think the most trendy thing I own is a Living Dead Doll that my brother gave me when he sold his collection a few years ago. He just happened to have a double of it. I don't even know where she is. I think she may be in the closet somewhere. It is from the B&W Collection Jezebel. I loved her feathered cape.
