Inspired by the t-shirt thread. I just came across this and am not sure if to post it in the t-shirt thread or in wtf, I thought it was a pretty funny review of the VTB t-shirt.

I wasn't happy about the vibe from the review either, hence the wtf. It's kind of sad to see black clothing relegated to a street-style sub-genre in the fashion spectrum. Hopefully in three or four years the masses can leave it alone again.

As ridiculous and silly as it is, I find it quite refreshing in a way. Men's fashion has come to the point in the public's perception that some regular guy can make a popular, totally regular-guy video about his undying love for garments and get comments of support rather than (it being YouTube) "ur gay" and the like.

Is this a regular guy talking about his love for a garment, or rather a guy talking about something to boost his views? Personally when I saw the video I was reminded of people who posed as scene kids when that was the trend and emos when that was in style. I kind of feel the comments are more of the same, people looking for a checklist of things to buy to live a lifestyle. More of a consumerist appropriation of a style holding meaning to some.

I suppose it's like the debate over Harry Potter and literacy a few years back - I was glad kids were reading more, but would still have preferred that they were reading something better.
Similarly, it might be a good sign, but that doesn't make it a good video. (Edit: not that you were saying it was, of course).Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

But that is your opinion looking back as an adult. Of course now I look back and think how cool it would have been to read Tove Jansson instead of Redwall or whatever but at that age what kid wants to listen to what some older person is recommending to them? This article from The Onion comes to mind: Cool Dad Raising Daughter On Media That Will Put Her Entirely Out Of Touch With Her Generation.
Oh right, WTF.. Sorry.

Originally posted by fit magna caedesedit continues... to clarify: I thought HP was overrated. What I've read of it was derivative (if it stole any more of Tolkien's central plot devices it would be fanfic). It was another story about a young white male defeating a dark lord through a series of mcguffins (we've had enough of those). And the writing in the first book (the one I read most of before despairing of it) was really pedestrian. Thin characters, poor sentence structure, competent pacing.
But then, I don't like George RR Martin's writings either, so maybe I'm just a controversialist.
