Tbh I've completely checked out of following trends and just wear what I think looks good on me. My leather jackets and jeans will never go out of style! I don't care if I look like a punk from 30 years ago lol, I think it's cool okay!?!?!111
Punk basically froze in time 30 years ago. Self referrentiality is a really big thing in punk. I'm talking crust/dbeat kinda stuff. We're aware of it and it's kinda tongue in cheek
I've noticed the internet disrockers. You can spot the difference from a mile away. Clearly intentional patch pants, studs aren't offset, or god forbid pyramid studs. This comes from wanting to look like a dirty punk but skipping the actually being dirty.
That's silly as hell. Like, I dress super punk but a great deal of people who are very heavily involved dress pretty normal and that's chill. I live in a big enough place to have a scene but small enough people can't just go off in their own corners.
I guess there is a bit of a bar pop punk scene that's seperate but it's mostly Screeching Weasels sorta Ramones worship stuff which can be fun
We have it pretty good. Everyone more or less knows each other and there's a central DIY space for shows, meetings, recordings jamming, free food fridge, screen printing etc. So the main venue/jam space for DIY music of whatever genre is also the main leftist space. It works pretty great
So I've gone from ultra nerd to cool kid now? See you later everyone 😎😎😎
You can't win with fashion. Most guys have 2 choices dress super generic or look like a guy from the big bang theory or Guy Fieri. I still floss on all of them yo. I look like a Chav ass punk bitch with orthopaedic shoes so I gotta be doing something right.
r/streetwear is pretty cool but a lot of the stuff you’ll see on there is expensive petit boug shit that costs hundreds, or even thousands of dollars per outfit. You do occasionally find thriftier fits on there, but not as often as I’d like to see.
The funny thing about that sub is how stuck they are on the “i just learned to dress myself” phase.
“Oxford shirts, dark jeans, clarks desert boots!”
Joke was that it was still better than anime tshirts, but you have to start taking it somewhere
The only remedy to that is to not cultivate a shitty personality centered around consumption of media.
Then again, i cant imagine anyone who hasnt tattooed something onto them that’s culturally irrelevant now.
Hey! My tatoos centered around media were never culturally relevant. Ehhh maybe the Trek one but it's a Maquis insignia, pretty obscure.
I have a tattoo of something that only matters if you were 15-19 in the summer of ‘01 in a certain region of the US, or if you’re 18-24 and browse certain facebook groups or had a really older sibling, so egg on my face.

Look, this is how you're supposed to look until you retire and die.
if i were the tesiculars i would simply not torsion
fr tho the downstairs is generally pretty static in nice fitting trousers, and discomfort can be relieved by on-site adjustment. but there's also plenty of reasons why thicker-stiffer pants might not work for you, everyone's body is different, and tailoring can vary wildly. ain't no thing if it don't work for you
my only advice to offer is maybe different underwear. a tighter fitting underpant can keep things closer to where you want (only applicable if it can be done comfortably tho)
I'm more of a fan of maximalism at the moment tbh. Maybe it's just my irrational backlash against all the minimalistic stuff that seems to be trending everywhere and pushed by tech companies. Though a lot of minimalist looks are sheek and cool af at the same time.
Just definitely not a fan of the Steve Jobs style of minimalism where people wear the same basic outfit every day that actually costs a ton of money for no reason and sleep on the floor because a bed is too much clutter. Feels kinda cult like. Example
happened to me once while I was in a movie theatre. I was with my wife's friend and she started rubbing my arm, then looked down and saw my fabric bunched up. Thought it was a boner. The whole movie I had to sit next her, was so awkward.
How awkward was it when you found out her date was your close friend, actor Richard Lewis?
If you’re sitting on the aisle people need to get past! That’s basic! You know, we live in a society! We’re supposed to act in a civilized way!
And the Richard Lewis, you know I was supposed to have dinner with him that week. And I find out his date is this woman. Geez, you know I had to blow him off when he asked me to go for coffee after the show, I just didn’t want to be around that woman.
I still have no understanding of how pants are chosen over skirts for anything but hard labour/exercise. You can insert an arbitrarily large pocket into a full skirt and they layer for the cold and heat better.
Also, before the 20th century pants were often front-falled (kind of a double breasted button front), so they didn't have that rough seam, and they used braces for support.
This is what I like to call my “Florida best” just t-shirts, shorts and flip flops
I dress like a Mad Max character so I dunno I feel that way about most normal fashion. It's just boring. I like looking cool.
man i went to the sub and i was gonna try to defend them but goddamn
what a weird style they've acculturated over there
I don’t care anymore. I’ll wear whatever “fashion” doesn’t make me stand out in a crowd or whatever. Nowadays I’m just too lazy to buy more clothes (aside from them being expensive). I want to full embrace the zizek style of dressing
T-shirt and jeans with a jacket that rotates. Jeans stay the same for a week, t-shirt changed daily
i've always dressed pretty butch, in part because I've never been comfortable being perceived as particularly feminine, and in part because a lot of the women's clothes ("women's clothes") are super irritating and my autistic ass cannot handle a cap sleeves or non-pockets.
That said, fashion got a lot more fun for me once I started playing with gender a bit more and incorporating some more feminine pieces into my wardrobe. Give me a cardigan that looks like some grandma wallpaper that I can wear under my varsity jacket with my stompy boots, that shit's fun
