Simply put, what looks acceptable and authentic(didn't write that word) ...
I'll be with Casem and Genevieve on this one, I think : this sort of zombie hunt is already rather sterile IRL, but it is completely pointless on the internet. Beyond that, you simply can't avoid being authentic, as you simply can't avoid being yourself every second that goes by.
I can understand Beardown when he says :
I simply believe that there is an intellectual side to art, style and creativity that separates things with depth from the empty facades that are so common in 'fashion.' Clearly that's not the most popular opinion but it's mine.
Therefore all facades are "empty" to begin with, in a sense that they're forms - and the many ways of appreciating them depend on who's talking as on who's supposed to ear. What is admittedly deep here may as well be seen as an unbearable pose somewhere else - or simply as samples of good taste according to a given sociological niche.
There's a moment when just talking about clothes, and incidentally making up unimportant charades about them, might be more than enough to make the man happy.
