Fuck it. I quit

Hipster.

Way to jump off the band wagon.

when i see emo kids or indeed grown men who look that way i laugh, i just cant help it.

dumb idea to try dress like something you're to begin with. fuck trends! be yourself man

This needs a witty and sarcastic reply, but I can't make up one. I request the help of you-know-who.

wtf?
what are you doing following trends anyway since you seem to be reasoning to the contrary?

what scene are you talking about?

sorry i don't watch eMpTy-Vee
or listen to commercial alt. rock radio shit, buy Urban Outfitters crap, or that other shit store you find in Malls across america that sell chuck taylors for $50 plus to even know what the fuck is up.

be yr own person and find out about music the old fashioned and creative way (by searching for it and not letting it come to you like as if your mommy is spoonfeeding you mashed up peas from a jar)

followers are for pussys.
btw, is that a pic of you or what?

if that is you, a serious make over is required... that is one of the worst cases of hipster psuedo punk fashion fads anyone can come up with. i mean i'm sorry to put you down but who the hell wears a teeshirt that says "Scenester Clothing" around the waist, that is pathetic.

Pussies are for rob instigator

I was, but decided otherwise

It's a Sonic Youth Lyric

Me Neither. I haven't for a few years

This is completely inadequite. I don't agree with the whole method of advertising bands in the way that the media does. It's primarily based on what teens can relate to and who has good connections. I never take popularity into consideration when judging a music artist or band. I haven't been watching TV or listening to the radio in years.

Certainly not. That's disgusting.
Dead on, and not to mention the bleeding heart "taped" to it

Jeffrey Lewis Lyrics

i saw a hippie girl on 8th avenue
she barely looked at me for a second or two
& i suddenly realized i no longer look like a hippie
she had a long thin dress & rainbow clothes
not long ago i wore one of those
but nowadays i guess i don't dress very much like anything
i had a great pair of bellbottoms, i had two
my friend borrowed one & the other i outgrew
& now to the eye i'm turning into a non descript guy
i still travel light & my hair's still long
i still hate deodorant & i still sing songs
but i've come to notice that lately
i haven't been dressing as colorfully & psychedelic
cuz i wore my tie dyes until they rotted to shreds
& i can no longer follow the grateful dead
& it's gotten to the point where
i no longer even identify with most phish fans anymore
& someday soon i'll probably cut my hair
& a week after that i know i won't even care
is that what it comes to all along
everything tht you feel will someday feel wrong
i was talking to my friend erick to see what he thunk
& he said "jeff it's weird but i no longer look like a punk"
i guess we don't need our clothes for an identity crutch
& we looked at each other & we didn't look like much
& we looked at the world like a movie theater
at all the hippies & punks & the skinheads & the skaters
& someday or other, sooner or later
they may come to the realization that what's important is
whether you can carry a human conversation
& it's not what you wear on the outside
it's how you think & feel on the inside

I wonder if 'Nathan Barnley' has ever been realesed in America.It would help the poor and needy in the brain department to such a big extent.It's comedy,yes,but comedy that bites your balls open.Kissed by shakesperian tragedy but still comedy nevertheless.

it's "hilarious & co." I didn't like it when it first aired but I downloaded it a month ago and have watched it through twice. Everytime I'm in town centre I notice more and more Barleys

Nathan Barley is the shit!

Most people try to be exactly like one another in order to feel like they belong. They always have. It's pathetic.

peace and fucking yeah!

CONGRATULATIONS! You're finally free, good for you man. Now we have 0 emo doofuses on this board, sweet.

It's going to be totally fuckin' mexico.

Actually as trends go, I much prefer the little fuckers with the stupid hair and over fasionable clothing to the utterly risible adidas 3-stripe tracksuit and angled baseball cap that was so prevelent in my area when I was that age. Plus, kids like that are far less likely to pelt you with rocks or threaten you with knives.

T-shirts and jeans have always worked for me.

That's true. There seems to be far too many of those, but where I live they're dying down a lot.

And thanks for the rep thrasher and Fruitloop!

you got beaten up on "international emo waking day" yesterday, inhuman?

i can't relate to trends and fashions and whatever, you should definitely go with what you feel like and screw people who don't accept you that way.

now don't screw it up and start dressing like hipster know-it-alls in ironic t-shirts and brown blazers, ok?

Fuck changing the way you look. That's just as bad as starting to look that way in the first place.

I wear girl pants. Shoot me.

it is always entertaining to see a couple with the exact same hair cut, only parted in opposite directions, to form one super cool hair cut.... and the symmetrically balanced piercings make a nice touch.

Where do you live?

A post of infinite wisdom. Negates this entire thread.

You tell 'em, Gooey.

Is enjoying fashion so bad?
The carefully disheveled look of many people at the cool shows is every bit as much a fashion statement, and has every bit as many implied codes.

haha, thanks everyone!


I actually knew somebody was bound to say this, but naw, I was at work all day yesterday and didn't have time to get beaten up. At least now I can sell all my old clothing off ebay and buy records with the money I make off it :). I have yet to hear all of Bad Moon Rising, so I look forward to getting it

Beautiful. That's the point, isn't it? The music? :)

Hahahahahah :love:

Good Job buddy!

werd to savage clone. if clothes are so unimportant to you why are you critiquing the styles of others? wear what you think looks good, not some faux "i'm too profound to be troubled with looking my best crap".

I live in Minnesota. Wanna fight about it?

This does seriously piss me off. I'm not a scenester. Stereotyping is usually right but this is so far-off. You are all complete idiots with the exception of truncy and Mr. Clone.

^Thanks dude.

Don't worry. You weren't included. I just hate people trying to tell other people they are something based on what they wear. Completely stupid.

Yeah I was just kiddin'.....I hear ya.

actually, fashion and clothing kick ass!!!! especially when many people try to look the same.

i mean, that's why we stare, point and laugh. that's fun.

also, half the fun about going to shows is the audience and judging them on how they look.

emos are losers and girl pants fucking rule

You must spread.That's all.

So good to hear that that pic is not you...
its rather funny yet pathetic how fashion/clothing company's influence the young minds of america by infusing what is "hip" into their minds bending their eyes and ears into this pigeonholed look of nonsense... fashion is certainly not bad but it gets too carried away with "trends" such that people use their sense of identity.

I don't fight scenesters. They scratch and kick and do other shit I can't protect myself against.
