i'm one of V's biggest fans on here, but i've to take issue with the whole idea that an aesthetic or personal preference for something loses value with being accepted by general public. i'm not inclined to wear something due to others wearing it any more than i would be to keep from wearing it for the same reason. feels like i keep saying this part over and over - some shit just looks cool, the way it did a hundred years back or longer; the way rick's cardi's looked 10+ years ago, before forever 21 started spewing out everything in a drapey flavour.
being different for the sake of ..being different, or maniacally trying to keep oneself ahead of some imaginary curve is the pinnacle of idiocy. just stay true to yourself and fuck whatever anybody else's doing.
or something.
The problem isn't so much that one's personal preference looses value, its that the people who now dress like you draw the attention of girls who had never really glanced your way for the past however many years you had been doing the same thing- but with integrity.
edit: that reads like teenage poetry but i can't be bothered to change it.
It is true though, we have a lot of really embarrassing labels/designers( wouldn't even call them designers) in Australia.
And CON Is of huge mainstream appeal here among the hipster crowd.
BUT im pretty sure its all about to move onto the next fad. Poor. Gareth.
Last March, as many people know, a FedEx airplane crash landed at Narita Airport. An event which killed two people and caused all sorts of other damage and various other problems.
His response?
I was scared because my friend Lauren bought a pair of those precious Balmain shoes and they were on their way to Tokyo!
Can you imagine how devastating it would be if you've been saving (or in my case, STARVING) for weeks then your $2,000 Balmain spring/summer 2009 sandals blew up with other cargo? I would probably die!!!
faust - so you dont think the engrish that julius spits out every season is wtf?
I am really glad that you have already made your opinions irrelevant by your "faggots" and "Balmain shoes" remarks.
However, if you would care to debate the cheap shots you keep making about the "ridiculous engrish" please tell me the correct forum and I will be happy to bring you some culturally contextuallised pain.
The term "engrish" though often apt and occasionally hilarious ( in a late 90's kind of way ) could also leave you open to accusations of racism too on your current form here.
The fact that you are also dragging the pristine name of Joy Division through the slime with your idiocy is extremely painful to me on a very personal level.
